Do you guys think that the biochemistry and molecular biology major is impacted in biological sciences division? I applied for it and I’m really nervous for tomorrow’s result.
Any econ majors in the house?
I received the supplement from Berkeley and Davis. I got accepted to Davis with the supplement, and my academics are pretty low at 3.6 GPA and an SAT score lower than 1600. Hopefully Cal will feel the same way haha
I also received the supplement for Berkeley(the special talents one).
I applied Political Science as my intended major and as my alternative I did Econ. Any one know how impacted Political Science is?
PS: Also got “Borderline” supplement.
i picked public health that is an impacted major am i screwed aahhhhhh
Just curious, but why would ppl be concerned about their majors being compacted?
I thought UCs are choosing based on the ‘college’ not individual majors…
@CarnegiePride If you were accepted to L&S undeclared but you chose Berkeley because you wanted their Computer Science program (one of the best in the world) - then you’d be in a bad spot if that major was impacted and you didn’t make the cut to get into the CS major.
Any other MCB: Neurobio applicants?
Carnegie,
- impacted * – not “compacted.” LOL.
@patertrium
Ohh i see. Gotcha
@epiphany
Ah snap. My brain and fingers are not working together! Just too nervous about Berkeley…
almost 2am here and can’t sleep… Got into UC Davis, rejected from LA, and currently waitlisted at claremont mckenna… UCB is definitely my favorite though so im really really crossing my fingers
Didn’t get any borderline supplement though and not quite sure what that means
I do not believe major matters if you applied to college of letters and sciences, you are admitted undeclared. College of chemistry is impacted. College of engineering is heavily impacted, especially majors such as EECS or Bio-Engineering.
Is it difficult to change let’s say from mathematics major to biology major? (Just curious) Or vice versa??
@Jehkobe Present!
I think I read somewhere on their website that MBC: Neurobiology wasn’t an impacted major…
@greencarrot yes, you are admitted undeclared to college of letters and sciences and declare a major in your 3rd year.!
All this talk of number of applicants etc., is so meaningless. Everyone I know from my school applied, including a number who have zero chance. I heard the same thing about UCLA. I got in, some of my supposedly better qualified friends didn’t. It all depends how your application resonated with the people reading it.
How do we check if we are in later on? Is there some kind of student portal?
