UC Berkeley 2016 Transfer Thread

I’m so glad we don’t have to physically check the mailbox for acceptance letters anymore. However, I’m sure checking this thread is distracting some of us from our studies… Five days to go… heart palpitates

Does anyone else’s MAP@Berkeley page say something along the lines of “The deadline for accepting Admission to UC Berkeley has passed…”? Wonder what it means

Ok now it just says under review again

Mine doesn’t say anything. Then again, I just checked 20 minutes after you said that. Maybe it’s a #sign?

Mine says it’s currently under review.

5 days from now, and at this time, we will be in a whole new world. Ughhh!

I got into UCLA…does that mean I won’t get into UCB? because usually it’s one or the either, right?

@arashid142 They are 100% separate of each other. Getting into one (or not getting into one) is irrelevant to the other.

Obviously though if you got into UCLA, I’d assume you’re competitive so that would be a good sign in terms of Berkeley … but, again, irrelevant from each other.

@briank82 oh phew, I always hear people saying it’s usually one or the other.Honestly I was not expecting to get into UCLA…,my gpa is not that great, but I really hope I can get into UCB :slight_smile:

@arashid142 I heard the same plus my friends who got into UCB got rejected from UCLA lol…

I wish that’s true and Cal accepts me. PLEASE!!

Everyone needs to stop saying that lol. There’s people who get into one or the other and there’s people who get into both. Only 5 more days guys, hang in there and stop feeding into the rumors.

Anyone know if I got rejected to joint major will I be consider with single major? Or its complete rejection?;( very worried here becoz of choosing joint major

@pereaa yeah same, I know so many people who got into UCB but rejected from UCLA… ucla why did you accept me, lol kidding

Every time I read “Berkeley” my stomach flips! Can’t wait for the 29th, but then again I can.

There were a lot of people got accepted into both UCB and UCLA in last year’s thread

I’m an international student.

I applied a lot of schools.

Good news from UCLA makes my anxiety little bit better, but I want Cal not a UCLA.

I think I did enough work to get into Cal.

I hope everybody in here will get good news.

Does anyone know if we will know what scholarships we received in our first award estimate?

In case you all didn’t know, today is the first day of the school/business week that we’ll hear back from UC Berkeley.

Just, you know, in case none of you knew. You’re welcome.
