Hi, I’m a high school student turning senior this upcoming school year. I live in California and I’m planning to go to Irvine Valley College and then transfer into UC Berkeley chem major. What is the estimated acceptance rate for transfer students from Cal?
In 2016, the UCB acceptance rate for California residents from California Community Colleges was 26%. I would expect that IVC’s rate was at or above that.

For 2016, the admitted 25th-75th percentile GPA range for UCB CoC chemistry (BS) was 3.71-3.93 with an admission rate of 17%. No information is listed for UCB L&S chemistry (BA) for 2016, but in prior years, it appeared to have slightly lower 25th-75th percentile GPA ranges.
