UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

I got into CAL!

Operations and Research Management (Specialize in Business)

GPA: 3.52

Here are my stats:

Rejected: UCLA

Waitlisted: UCSD UCI

Accepted: UCB UCSB

I was honestly surprised to be waitlisted by so many schools! I really thought I would get into UCLA. I also had the

2-4-2 portal pattern so maybe this conspiracy theory is true?

Can’t wait to meet ya’ll!!!

I WAS ACCEPTED!!!
In state, local
major: psychology
GPA: 3.93
IGETC: finishing second English this semester
Major prep: I was entirely missing calculus. I was expecting a rejection for this reason! Plus I am doing two of the major prep courses this semester.
Tap: no, but I was part of the starting point mentorship program at Ucb
Ecs: completely filled my application, some unique stuff
Essays: I was told by an admissions counselor at Berkeley that they were great and that she wouldn’t change anything.
Accepted: Ucsb, UCD, ucla, Ucb, cal poly Pomona
Rejected: SDSU
waitlisted: none

Hi! I was wondering if you could give me some advice about finding housing? Are there resources for finding roommates? @aymc1104

@choukevin not really, unfortunately. Tacos Sinaloa is the closest spot to campus, but they’re really not very good. If you want good tacos you’ll have to BART to the mission district or San Jose. But then again, I’m from LA, so my taco standards are pretty high!!

@smrider29 I guess, that’s just what my friend’s TAP advisor/ counselor had said before. I was just confused because I had all my prereqs done with a 4.0 to a non-impacted major. So I was at the least expecting a wait list. I guess there was something on my app they didn’t like. Oh well I’m not even trippin about it LA was my first choice anyways.

Hi all! Is there a Facebook group for UC Berkeley transfer class of 2020? Thanks! I am currently trying to decide between UC Berkeley and UCLA!

Accepted to EECS!!

Major: EECS
GPA: 3.94 (B in linear algebra last summer, A- in Calc 3)

Was lurking for this whole thread and I was really entertained with everyone’s conspiracies, I was tempted to try some of them for myself but decided to just wait for decisions. Paid off in the end, good luck and congratulations to everyone!

Rejected.

IGETC: Completed

Essays: reading over them again, I could have fixed a lot of small errors, but I think my passion for journalism shined in all of them.

ECs: Four years in my college newspaper in several high editor positions; two small journalism internships; placed top three a couple times in state journalism competitions; always had a part-time job.

Ooooommmmmmmg. I can’t believe it!!! I for sure thought my GPA would be the end of me! I’m so honored and gosh darn proud to be accepted to all of these great universities.
