| aw crap... I don't like this... I know that I'm sort of a fringe case so I'm just gonna prepare for disappointment.
But wouldn't the college you're applying to factor into your chances for admission? Ex.: Hass's acceptance rate is like 7% or something whereas for the College of Letters and Science it's 40% or somewhere around there?
thanks for posting this btw | |

| Ah, okay. So if my major's impacted then I have less of a chance of getting in.
... some sort of literature on transferring to Berkeley I got from my CC said 40% acceptance rate for L&S, gotta be wrong then | |

| yeah, i'm not sure how that works. I think the number you got for the 40% acceptance rate for L&S is the average among acceptance rates between all the divisions in L&S, based off of the 2007 transfer flyer on the berk website.
so correct me if i'm wrong, but if you apply to say, the social science division within L&S (25% acceptance for 2007), you still have a slightly lower than 25% chance (because the overall transfer admittance rate was roughly 1 in 4 based off of 2008 data vs. 1 in 3 from 2007)? | |

Maybe they're just estimating how many acceptances they are going to make based on how much space is available. | |

| You right I was probably jumping the gun with how damn excited and nervous I was. And damn this year they only admitted/are planning on only admitting 20% of students who applied to the social science division. Transfer Selection FAQ's | |

| Last year's admit % for transfers was 30%, and this year it's projected to be 26%. This year there's more transfer applicants than last year (1,352 more) competing for less spots than last year (87 less spots)...
I guess I have a couple of months to cure cancer and AIDS so my appeal goes through... | |

| The director at UCB is cool as hell. I met him and heard him speak at a Cal event I went to at the LAX Hilton last October.
This is great news. This is going to make acceptance this year sooo much sweeter. woo hoo!!!  | |

| I wish i had your confidence Edward. Reading this thread honestly made me a little depressed. I applied to social sciences so I have a 20% chance of acceptance....1 in 5......not very good. | |
