UC Berkeley 2016 Transfer Thread

@wenbohugh Based on other schools and previous threads, it would be safe to say 5:00pm

Meee! @DBillostas

@Rololo I’m assuming that’s Pacific time. The struggles of being on the east coast… :frowning:

Any English majors out there?

@sammyclaire23 haha nice Im thinking if i get into Berkeley I want to double major English however I applied as a Rhetoric major. :slight_smile: good luck! English should be fun should be awesome!

I remember decisions coming out at 3:30 PST last year.

it should be after 4 since the admissions office will probably be close by then.

Guys please be happy with whatever happens! At the end of the day we are getting an Education! Our schools will not define us!!!

Anyone knows if it is hard to double-major or minor at Berkeley? I was aceepted by UCLA as a pre-psychology major and aimed to double-major in Econ. However, I called admission and was told that was highly unlikely, even though I have completed the pre-reqs of Econ as well.

@sammyclaire23 I’m a Philosophy major, but I completed two of the prerequisites for the English major. I was originally planning to double major in English and Philosophy, but I decided against it. I took the equivalents for Berkeley’s 45B and 45C. If I am admitted, I will likely minor in Russian Literature (it’s offered under the Slavic Languages and Literatures department).

Anyway, I’ve only heard good things about Cal’s English department. Obviously you have as well.

Good luck, everyone. I will be watching Harry Potter films till the decisions come out.

@Calvinwong: If you didn’t apply as an Econ major it’s very unlikely (near impossible even) to double major with Econ at Berkeley as well. Additionally Cal doesn’t offer a Econ minor.

@UCLAFFF Why do you predict 3 PM?

@forshevchenko Luckily, the Russian Literature minor is all in English. There is a corresponding major that requires two years of Russian, but there’s no way I’d be able to do that, haha.

The mixture of me being deathly sick and the levels of anxiety I’m having is making the wait even more painful. Ugh.

I have a good feeling about my GPA and my essays but I only have a few note-worthy ECs. :((

Good luck everyone! I’ve been aiming for Berkeley for years, and I’ve found so much helpful information on these threads. Thanks for keeping this discussion & the transfer community alive.

Like others have mentioned–if we don’t get into Berkeley, we are still pursuing our educations, which is the most important thing.

@DBillostas I’m TAP too. Intending to double major in Peace and Conflict and Middle Eastern Studies

@goldencub

I was being nosy and looked through the 2014 thread for fun, and the decisions seemed to come out around 3.

Any cog sci major here?
