UC Berkeley 2016 Transfer Thread

@goldencub Do you know if loans and grants cover off-campus housing?

@Polemic They can, it depends on your EFC, so like for me they estimated a 10k housing cost for the year and included that in my total cost, which was then covered by either grants or loans, though Berkeley expects me to pay a 1300 dollar difference. 1300 for a world class education?!?! The scoundrels!!

Can we see how they view our stats like davis?

those of yo guys that got accepted, on your terms and conditions does it specifically list your courses? cause mine doesn’t have that. I just says general stuff like 3.0 gpa and no lower than a c, ect…

@melon12312 @screenname34 @emily2636 @BigPanda Looks like we’re all in the same boat. Thank god I’m not alone.

Mine is the same @iccricri ,just: “I understand that I must complete all UC transferable courses that were self-reported in my application with a minimum term and overall 3.0 GPA, and no grade lower than a C for any individual course.” and other things like having to complete 60 UC transferable units by Spring,etc

was anyone able to a activate his Calnet ID?
Also, do we need a calnet id to register for summer classes via transfer edge?
thanks a lot!

@jonuni94 did you apply for college of letters and science? cause for me it also said that it does not garantee a spot in my major, even though i applied as an anthro major. maybe since our major aren’t garanteed then they don’t really not which classes are important and thats why its not listed?

Anyone got EOP?

is it too late to apply for fafsa to get the blue and gold package? got accepted but didnt apply :((

Waitlist question for anyone-- why are the grades/unofficial transcript and the personal essay optional? I feel like everyone would do it, surely it must do something to up your chances of reconsideration?

@melon12312 which Japanese club? I wanna too!! Where I can find it?

Anyone already SIR? I submitted mine, but it didn’t give me the option to pay. Anyone else?
