UC Berkeley 2016 Transfer Thread

@Sumner My second comment was a joke too. Maybe it sounded better in my head. That happens a lot.

Your response was actually really good, by the way. I was trying to think of something along the lines of what you say, but I couldn’t. Your response was better than my original comment. #fact

@goldencub you’re great

@goldencub Nah man, sorry, that’s not good enough. For me, as I was scrolling across the campus, a professor came up to me and offered to make sweet, sweet love on the Memorial Glade, right there and then. It was at that moment that I knew I was accepted into the Bear family.

@goldencub oh my god, it’s a bad sign, the professor trick totally worked. According to my 18 years of common sense education, blank face doesn’t mean happy, not happy means its hardly an acceptance.

I disagree with you for the 4-2-9 thing tho. It’s raining this Friday, which means they are going to be sad and will probably accept less people.

Also, I heard that not everyone will receive a decision on 4/29. Past history indicated that only those who submitted their application to UC Berkeley wil receive a decision. I’m so worried

@avc118

@goldencub well here is a true story… I went into the Rhetoric presentation class on Cal day and they asked the audience if anyone knew what Rhetoric meant, and I happily answered "The persuasion of Speech?"and the professor said “Great!, Your in!” … does that mean im in?? can I bind that as a verbal agreement??

rang******************

University of California Berkeley= 33 letters

That’s four words. 33-4=29

Oski=4 letters. It’s April, the fourth month of the year.

We have 4/29 so far. 4 divided by 29 is 13.7%, or ~14%. Berkeley is eight letters. But since we used it once its value becomes 1/10 it’s original. This gives us 14+0.8=14.8. 14.8% was the Berkeley acceptance rate for freshman.

Berkeley decisions are a week after UCLA. One week=7 days. Allowed, as in allowed admission= 7 letters. August, the month fall semester starts, is one month before the other UCs start. August= 6 letters. 6+1 month early=7.

  1. Jackpot.

@DBillostas

They treat all transferable courses the same, so your CSU courses will count equally as much as any transferable CCC course.

@Cheolf Figure out who the Zodiac Killer is next.

I was checking this thread when I ordered an ice coffee. I was gonna say “grande ice coffee”, but the word “Berkeley ice coffee” came out of my mouth lol

Does UCB have waitlist for transfer students?

-----Edit------
Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego have transfer waitlists for select majors and will extend waitlist offers by the end of April, with an opt-in deadline of May 15. Transfer students will be notified of their final status by July 1.

Official answer from http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/admission-decisions/

@100789 Easy. Zodiac killer=12 letters. What’s something significant related to 12? The last presidential election was in 2012. Right away we have a correlation with the election cycle. It’s been 4 years since then. 12/4=3. A presidential term is 4 years. So we have 3 and 4.

Ted=3 letters
Cruz=4 letters

Ted Cruz was elected to the senate in 2012. 2012/2012=1. 1.00=100%. 100% chance that Ted Cruz is the zodiac killer.

@Cheolf This reminds me of that theory about Lincoln and JFK that says “both presidents last names have 7 letters and their assassins have 15 letters. JFK is Lincoln reincarnate. Confirmed.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln-Kennedy_coincidences_urban_legend

Guys you are cracking me up XD

y’all are hilarious.

thanks for the laughs. at this point i’ve gone completely crazy and the comic relief is so appreciated!! :slight_smile:

But no, seriously. In my MAP@Berkeley, one of the periods at the end of sentence looks darker than it did before. Like it is now bold and it wasn’t before. If I could post a picture I’d show a side by side of what it used to look like and what it looks like now. It is definitely darker. Is this good?

does anyone know what time decisions are usually out for Cal? In the past has it been rolling throughout the day or everything at once?

I recall it was 5pm last year. I don’t believe it’s rolling, and it’s all at once.

I also heard that if you have a bolded period at the end of the first sentence under “instructions,” you’ll get priority notification. I don’t know if that’s true, just something I heard…or something.

@briank82 Sweet I’ll look out for that bolder period. Thanks for the heads up! :))
