UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

People started seeing acceptance notifications right around this time in the morning in Calcentral last year

@dezzydee most likely 3:30 yeah. Thanks for calling

Guys just remember that whatever’s meant to be will be and getting rejected is not the end of the world. Of course it’s great to be accepted and we’d all be so thrilled but hey maybe Cal is not where we’ll end up succeeding and maybe you have a chance at being the best somewhere else rather than just being average or even below average at Cal. Just a friendly reminder to everyone including me. Be proud of yourselves regardless of what the portal says in a few hours xx

nah im gettin hit by a tesla if i dont get in

Cal or bust. No participation trophies here, I want in!!! lol

Willing to trade in my UCLA acceptance for a Berkeley one…please

@choukevin yes same I name dropped Berkeley way too many times on my app for them to do me dirty idk what UCLA likes in me

Imagine if we could do that lol he if I get into Cal I’ll be like hey I have a Davis acceptance here I’m not gonna use who wants it lol

@flaminhaute LOL how did you name drop Berkeley in your app? I’d be too scared to be rejected by either one of them to do that

I wish that somehow everyone on the thread gets in

@choukevin I worked with a Berkeley admissions official, and he suggested being specific about my experiences which made me chose my major (gje program is pretty unique to Berkeley) + my ECs (some of white took place at Berkeley)

My professor legit let us out of class an hour early cause everyone’s too nervous about decisions today to focus

Question: how long can u hide in the bathroom @work reading this thread before it becomes suspicious lol

@flaminhaute yeah you’re probably in if you mentioned a program specific to a school imo, lmao pretty funny that UCLA probably saw that in your app and still decided to accept you

@OhWhatsHerName Wow he’s nice lol. Everyone found out about UCSD In my Ochem Lab yesterday and tears filled the room, everyone was calling their families but he still didn’t let us out early

@flaminhaute How much weight do they put on the ECs/PIQs when held against GPA and major prep? Like if you had to put it in %s lol?

I’m literally checking this thread every 2 minutes on my work computer haha

@NetflixJunkie I was gonna do the same but figured Id rather be stressed out at home then at work so I told my bosses I wasn’t feeling well and went home to share this moment with yall lol

@choukevin yeah I applied to UCLA just for the hell of it and I was shooook, because they actually read essays and ecs and my app is one berkeley reference after another

I opened my UCLA decision in my stats class, prof dapped me up because he went to UCLA lol
