Cal Spring Admission

Calibabe, I think their official stance on admitting people for Spring is that with an overload of equally qualified students, some are simply chosen to start during Spring. It’s just an unfortunate spot to be in.

This is me speaking on instinct at 11:00 pm so take it with a grain of salt… Don’t give them any opportunity to consider you a candidate for spring admittance. Keep your grades high without seeming capable of finishing up in 3 semesters. Maybe if you apply with a full 70 units, they’ll find you suitable for finishing up in 3 semesters? See, that’s something I wanted to do but with the goal of finishing a semester early, not this nonsense.

While browsing through the Cal acceptance threads here, I noticed a lot of philosophy student were taken in as Spring admits. Most had decent stats (3.5-3.7 GPAs). If that’s how Political Science is, it could just be a coincidence since they accept students by school.
