@pleaseberkeley Well, you would have the same issue at UCSB. You need to report everything.
@sbccstudent19 to be safe, just send them an email and include your name birthday and applicant ID number and a description of the problem. Also state that you wrote about it in the additional comments. That way it shows you took a few steps to get it on record. Apparently a lot of people are having technical issues like this so it shouldnt be a prob
@pleaseberkeley
*2,000 FRESHMAN applicants.
Can anyone help me out here? I don’t even know if the system is recording our latest inputs. If you see forms on the main page, you can see all the dates of submission. However, if you click on edit, you’ll come across the green tab on the top which provides another submission date. is it the same for everyone?
Quick question about the MAPS since I ahve trouble with this stuff. Is the MAPS IGETC supposed cover all your courses? Because I am taking courses that I did not submit ont here. For example, I took more than two courses under an IGETC area so I didn’t report a PSYCH 4 class. I also take two kinesiology courses that I did not report.
The wait is already driving me mad. I was under the impression that I have up to spring quarter to complete all requirements, however this quote from the engineering web site;
“Only applicants who have completed 100 percent of the required core courses for Berkeley Engineering — as outlined on ASSIST — will be considered for admission.”
Could be interpreted as meaning that they need to be completed by fall quarter. I am finishing my last English class, the chemistry sequence, thermodynamics, and MATLAB this year. Do I need to find something else for my entire life to be about or am I worrying about nothing?
If they’re anything like every other major at UCB, you have through the end of the spring semester.
yep, started freaking out about English R1A and R1B again and had to look up quarterly system transfer agreements in assist to convince myself that everything is OK even though I spent weeks working out my plan for cal years ago lol.
any other mechanical engineers here? what are your stats like?
me: 3.82 GPA
AAS precision machining // two years work experience as a machinist
master-cam wildest parts winner 1st place // Skills USA nationals CNC-Mill 2nd place
US navy veteran, submariner
all strongly recommended courses complete if I can transfer in my AAS in machining
@sdjournot Wow! did your CC offer all of the engineering recommended courses? I was not able to complete a single one of them since none of the CC’s around me offer them. I am also an ME major. I have a 3.91 GPA but don’t have any EC’s.
I ended up going to three separate CC’s. I am taking MATLAB and thermodynamics next quarter at green river CC; took statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials at highline CC last year; and the topics covered in ENG 25, 26, 27 were covered in depth at renton tech where I recieved my AAS. Circuits was offered at Highline but I would rather take EL ENG 100 at berkeley (instead of 40 if they let me); never took an intro to engineering course (seems kind of pointless now). I also took java and C++ but all of the programming classes in my area are remedial for me ( OOP, pointers, function pointer, garbage collection ect not covered or glazed over; very frustrating).
@sojourner wow that’s great you were able to take them all. My husband’s also doing ME. And uable to do the reccomended courses at his cc or nearby due to them not being offered. 3.93 GPA, ECs include tutoring, part-time to full-time work, and volunteering at an elementary school.
@goldencub
Hey, so if we don’t have any of the pre-reqs for our major, we just leave the pre-req form on the MAP blank, right?
Well, I understand that we submit all three forms, but I mean that I should just leave the pre-req form blank and submit it while it’s blank, right?
Thank you!
@JacobfromCA Yeah. Or you could write N/A in all of them, and explain in the additional comments. They know if your CC doesn’t offer them, though, so that should be fine. I don’t know if you’re able to submit the form completely blank.
@goldencub I did submit it blank. Should I go back and write N/A in each one of them?
@goldencub
Oh wait, the deadline over, nvm lol!
Hey, so the only three things we needed to do on the MAP was the IGETC, Pre-req, and Transfer Agreement Update forms right? Once there were three checkmarks on your forms list, you were finished with MAP right?
BTW, if you try to log on right now (log on to MAP that is), it tells you that registration is no longer available right?
Thank you!
@goldencub Nvm, the MAP site is working again. My bad.
Hello guys, my winter grades are available now. Does anyone know whether I should update my grades using the TAU or not?
GPA: 3.85
Major: Rhetoric
EC’s: Two jobs, debate in high school, volunteered at church
IGETC: Will be done by this semester, just missing Philosophy.
What are my chances!
@Hector1201 if you can update them I would, but I believe they will only use your fall grades to calculate the gpa? Its good to show your grades aren’t slipping after you turned in the app
