*Official UC Berkeley 2011 Transfer: Acceptance/Rejection Thread*

<p>@Hootenany Exactly my thoughts, haha! </p>

<p>That thread is some kind of black hole for reasoned thinking.</p>

<p>More specifically… (from an old forum)</p>

<p>UCB: Each of the individual colleges and the Haas School of Business establishes its own unit limitation policies for students who have attended a four-year institution before enrolling at a community college:</p>

<p>College of Letters and Science: A student who has accumulated more than 80 transferable semester units from a four-year institution is considered to have excess units and will not be admitted. A student who has completed 80 or fewer UC-transferable semester units at a four-year university and then transfers to a community college will not accrue excess units and will be considered for admission.
Students who have only attended a community college will be granted subject credit, but not unit credit, for appropriate two-year college coursework taken in excess of the community college 70-unit limit; such subject credit may be used to satisfy/complete requirements.</p>

<p>College of Environmental Design: This college follows the same unit accumulation policy as the College of Letters and Science (see above), except that its limit on transferable coursework taken at a four-year university is 86 semester units.</p>

<p>Other colleges: UC Berkeley’s other colleges total both university units and a maximum of 70 community college UC-transferable units. The limits on combined transferable university and community college work are as follows:
• College of Chemistry: 80 semester units; applicants with more than 80 units require special approval.
• College of Engineering: 89 semester units.
• College of Natural Resources: 90 semester units. Though the College does not have a specific unit limitation, it carefully reviews applicants with 90 or more
10
semester units to ensure that they can graduate within a reasonable time.
• Haas School of Business: No maximum limit.</p>

<p>lol Redo, thanks for standing up for our mania. I’m down to go crazy in this thread tomorrow night.</p>

<p>I also think that since UCLA is more popular with applicants, the probability of the UCLA thread going bonkers was much higher. :-)</p>

<p>of course ella! :slight_smile: hootenany and bostoncreamedpie are just noobs. and eyethink, berkeley is my numbberrr oonne! im just excited for la cuz a. its la, and b. if i get in there, it boosts my confidence for berkeley!</p>

<p>I am neither trying to defend nor attack their actions. I simply find it amusing. Ella and redo, thanks for the amusement!</p>

<p>And Ella, I sensed some sarcasm in your post on the UCLA thread about not seeing the sticky, and I hate sarcasm more than I hate prancing around in women’s clothes… which I hate… and I never do… and I never will do… and I never did during freshman year… I promise…</p>

<p><-----------------------------
i are a nuuubz</p>

<p>lulz yesz yew rr</p>

<p>edit: LOL @ hoot. did you try on heels too…?</p>

<p>Whats sarcasm?</p>

<p>I can’t speak on behalf of Hootenany but BCP is no noob. One need only examine her posts in the Harvard thread. She’s well reasoned and her insights have proven her value to this community.</p>

<p>I dont think she was saying she was a noob to the board. More that she was a noob because of the lack of a sense of humor. No worries though, I’ll keep the antics in the UCLA thread and we can keep this one for serious applicants.</p>

<p>^LOL no please don’t do that. We could all use some levity.</p>

<p>So I didn’t apply to UCLA, but I would just like to state how grateful I am to Cal for allowing us to go bananas for one day and one day only. I’m mad at UCI for dragging their decisions out. Not to mention everyone on the UCI thread telling each other to give up hope, when the applications are clearly backlogged. </p>

<p> Sorry. :)</p>

<p>ahahahah eyethink i think you can have qualities of a well reasoned individual and a noob at the same time…just depends on subject matter. but yes ella is correct as usz<3</p>

<p>I do have a sense of humor. That’s why I found the UCLA thread hilarious. :)</p>

<p>Edit: Thanks for the chivalry, eyethink. </p>

<p>@melaniedear Me too, the speculation kills me more than the wait.</p>

<p>i am enjoying all of this with you guys, i really hope this is 90% happiness tonight.</p>

<p>^What happened to the other 10%?! LOL.</p>

<p>If I got into both Cal and UCLA and only had to choose between those two, damn that would be one hell of a tough decision. I never thought two things could equally be as awesome. </p>

<p>Just thinking out loud…</p>

<p>The key to happiness is low expectations. I’m waiting for UCLA, Berkeley, and SD with the thought that I’m probably gonna be rejected. I’m already preparing to go to UC Davis. Talking to the adviser about how to switch majors when I start, making plans to visit the school, looking through google at all the great things in the area, you name it. It’ll make it all the sweeter if somehow in some way I do get accepted to one of the other 3. Once you accept that the alternative is not so bad then you stay happy. I’m now focusing wayyyy more on school knowing that I have this really great option set if I don’t make it to one of those 3 :)</p>

<p>eyethink-what is your major?</p>
