Got rescinded because I took a Bio class instead of Differential Equations like I put on my application. 
@IWannaMakeDrugs I’m sorry to hear that man. The fact that you were admitted in the first place shows you are doing well for yourself. Best of luck to you at UCSD!
Has anyone gotten a Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship? What were your stats? I want to know what it takes to get one. I still have a year before I apply for transfer but I hope to get into Berkeley and the financial aid help that scholarship provides would be awesome! Plus having a mentor sounds really helpful.
So sorry @iwannamakedrugs, is there any way to negotiate with them? Try to take in summer?
another question… by the time i transfer i will have around 97 semester units. i know that they only accept 70 credits max but will accept the subject credit regardless of how many units you have (for CCC)
but how does that go into your GPA?
do they use all the credit units for your GPA or just the top 70? first 70? or do you start a new GPA when you transfer? so when they’re reviewing your application they’ll use all of your credits for your GPA but then once you transfer you start off on a blank slate?
sorry for my confusing language, im not very articulate when im in a rush.
@otoribashi They will only allow you to transfer 70 units (if you go to CCC they will accept you no matter how many you have, but you will only be able to transfer 70). All your units will go into deciding your GPA for admission purposes, but once you transfer your GPA starts over.
Your GPA recalculates to zero as @music1990 said.
@lindyk8 I told them I would take it over the summer. I don’t really have a strong argument. I got 3 C’s and 2 B’s this semester also so I didn’t comply with my admission requirements in more than one way. Sucks, would have been nice to attend the College of Chemistry but worst case happened and I’m still at UCSD’s Revelle and that’s where I wanted to be since I started school anyway.
Oh, well then it all worked out. Congrats on UCSD! 
I still haven’t received my UCB acceptance pack I’m going to UCLA, but it still would have been nice to get one just as a nice memory!
Last year my daughter did not get her UCSB packet, requested it and never got it. You could try asking for a resend. It’s pretty nice and a great keepsake.
@IWannaMakeDrugs Did your waitlist appeal go through for UCSD or are you SIR’ing to UCR or UCI?
@music1990 what does it mean when they “transfer 70 units”?
@otoribashi That means they will give you credit for up to 70 units, to use towards graduation requirements.
@music1990 does it matter which units/courses you get credit for? or is it just for the sake of the numbers?
@otoribashi Does it matter in what sense? I mean if you completed IGETC then that will fulfill your general ed, and your pre reqs will help fulfill the requirements for your major.
It’s kind of frustrating to read on CC about students with “meh” grades claiming to get “full rides” to Berkeley as if they have received a prestigious merit scholarship. Need-based financial aid grants aren’t “full rides” or a complement to a student’s academic achievement, though acceptance to a great school may well be. Also “full tuition” aid is not the same thing as “full-cost” scholarships. Just venting here. I got a single B grade in my first two years of college, all the rest A’s, I was SGA president, in clubs, soccer, worked, etc. and was pleased it got me into a great school. But it didn’t get me a DIME in financial aid, not one dime. My family is middle class, and the financial aid rep at the Rosemead reception said we shouldn’t count on even the Cal Middle Class Scholarship either. So once again, my family pays full price, AND we chip in for a bunch of other folks who whine about having to pay for a small portion of their fine education and who don’t have superior grades. I don’t mind supporting 4.0 transfers, but I have a 3.9+ gpa myself, and I do resent supporting people with low gpas.
If you don’t even qualify for the Middle Class Scholarship, that means your family makes enough money that, comparatively, you have a much easier time of paying for college than many others. I’m on the same boat, and keep in mind that a lot of the opportunities that people like you and I had thanks to our stable financial position aren’t necessarily available for everyone. It is much more difficult for a person from a working class family to achieve that level of success because they often face incredible challenges. They’re also frequently the first in their families to go to college, so the whole process is even more intimidating and unfamiliar. I’m not saying you didn’t work hard or that the cost of college isn’t daunting, but for all that, you and I are lucky. I’m extremely grateful to be in a position to help pay for students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend a world-class institution like Cal.
Then again, I’m a dirty Berkeley hippie now, so what do I know?
lol @slantrhymes I am a liberal, but it sucks to hear folks whine about their less than 100% aid. Makes me feel all red-statey. My family should qualify for the MCS because our income is FAR less than the $150 K upper limit, but they told my Dad we shouldn’t count on qualifying. Thing is, I am a hillbilly and a Cajun on one side, and New Orleans Irish Channel poor white on the other. I come from a family where both grandfathers had no more than third grade educations and one of my grandmothers spoke english as a second language, though she was born in the U.S. No one helped those grandfathers to put their kids through school and out of 10 kids the highest degree achieved yield was 3 AAs, 1 BA, 5 MA/MS, 1 PhD. My family thoroughly understands the disadvantaged path to higher education, that whole bootstrap path to a better life, they lived it. They didn’t whine about partial financial aid, they worked.
