<p>Again about the valley bump I was actually pretty shocked when I was on the UC statfinder and saw how few UC transfers MJC had… Especially cause how overcrowded that school is! Ugh is everyone else’s CC parking as bad as mine? I literrally got out of my car and scared the shiz out of a girl for stealing my parking spot… Lol I felt bad when she was so scared of me that she offered to move… Anyways I digress… I feel like well over half of the people I talk to at my CC are headed to Stanislaus State just down the road which I just feel is so tragic!</p>
<p>Yeah, more like the valley slump. Most valley schools I’ve seen have lower admit rates than elsewhere… so I think it’s just wishful thinking.</p>
<p>The rates seemed high… But the amount of students seemed low.</p>
<p>Hmmm, maybe I interpreted it wrong. I think I was comparing a CC with really high admits to valley schools. But the few valley schools I’m looking at now, for Cal specifically, do seem to have higher acceptance rates of a few percentage points.</p>
<p>Wow, MJC has a 34% admit rate to UCB, considerably higher than average.
And SCC to UCB has a 48% admit rate.
ARC 39%.
Merced College 27%, which is the first I’ve seen below average for the valley.
Fresno CC 30%.</p>
<p>ARC to UCB is 39%? dang… i didnt know that… what is that like 6 kids attempting? haha. i go to arc and im going to ucsd next semester… super excited! i also feel like the difficulty of classes has not catered to my needs as a future UC student… i will be taking a summer semester course and trying to hone in on my study skills from now till then.</p>
<p>I think it was like 130 applicants at ARC.</p>
<p>Hey guys! Damn, I’m bummed I missed out on the late-night insomniac commotion…but I’m here now. Albeit, I’m on even later than usual. I was out with some friends tonight because my only class is today at 6 PM. </p>
<p>@ Empathy: How do you know what each CCC’s transfer rate to Berkeley is? Statfinder? I’m curious what College of San Mateo’s is lol. I would imagine…knowing the ppl at my CCC that very few apply/transfer there.</p>
<p>any science majors in the house jealous-tired of all these philosophy/econ/history acceptances? your answer might or might not increase eligibility for the friendship bracelets i will craft deep into the night when these levels of caffeine break my mind beyond studying</p>
<p>@ thlayli: I hear ya with the caffeine binge…It’s made me nocturnal. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, I’m not a science major :/.</p>
<p>Btw random realization…but it just hit me that the incoming freshman are finding out their fates from Berkeley tomorrow. Ughhh lol lucky kids. </p>
<p>@ SFwarrior: I knew you’d relapse 
lol. The allure of the College Confidential UC Transfer Forum in the thick of the admission process is too much…even for a Stanford applicant.</p>
<p>Btw it would be interesting if you were to get in/go there and I went to UCB. Big Game would be intense! There would undoubtedly be some S*** talk preceding the game between us lol.</p>
<p>I stayed up all night for a Calculus 2 test that I’m still going to bomb, and I have a 5 minute speech to give in the morning, yay me!</p>
<p>I think i’ll take some caffeine x 1000.</p>
<p>@emil, 36%. All those numbers are for 08-09 so I’m not sure if those numbers are a long term trend or just coincidence. They have the data there, but I’m lazier than usual right now.</p>
<p>i dont know anyone from ARC transferring to UCB… my friend went to UCLA last fall, and im off to UCSD this next fall… yay for adding to positive statistics !</p>
<p>^^im from arc and im gunning for cal, ucla and stanford. whats your major?</p>
<p><em>rocks back and forth in the corner</em> make the “decision pending” go away… just make it go away!</p>
<p>i want i want i want stanford already!!! cal and ucla would be really nice also :D</p>
<p>@audioslavery: Ya, that was me last night. 2 redbulls and a liter of pepsi. 4hrs of sleep but the extra studying really felt like it payed off today.</p>
<p>Did you guys see the stats on some of those Cal freshmen admits today? Holy jebus. 2400 SAT, 36 ACT, 4.49 weighted GPAs, 8 800 SATII’s, honors, AP, taking linear algebra junior year of high school and on and on.</p>
<p>Was trying to be productive and clean my room… I ended up washing my hair extensions and reading threads. ■■■ lol</p>
<p>@ Empathy: I know man, it’s crazy what those kids do and how young they are. I don’t know how thay can maintain all those crazy EC’s/comm. service/grades for 4 years. It’s actually weird to think about how much easier (generally speaking) it is to transfer to UCB.</p>
