<p>kwidine: That’s also my main reason for not applying to UCLA and UCB. I know I would just get rejected anyway with my cumulative gpa of 3.33 in a very impacted major (Computer Science). Plus, with both school’s policy on the max transferrable units, I’m positive that they’d reject me since I’ll have 91 units after spring sem. If only UCLA or UCB didn’t have that policy on transferrable units, I would apply to them, BUT it’s too late now. I’ve taken a bunch of unnecessary IGETC courses that I didn’t even need thanks to the “advise” of my CC counselor.</p>
<p>iambianca, Haha same here! Biology is a pretty hard major too. Well, probably not as impacted as computer science or any other engineering major at UCB or UCLA, but I don’t know… I figured, I wouldn’t really be a competition to any of those 4.0 transfer students, so I didn’t want to waste another 120 bucks, haha. :)</p>
<p>I flew to San Diego today to visit SDSU, one of my safeties. The weather was lovely, the mission-style campus is lovely and surprisingly quiet and uncrowded for having 34000 students attending, lots of flowers and birds chirping, friendly students…BUT…as soon as I arrived back in SF I was just so happy to hear some random guy playing jazz saxophone on the street corner and to see all of the non-chain restaurants and cafes. Ehhh, so there’s some fog every day of the summer… SDSU is my #1 safety, I’ve decided that, but now more than ever I want to go to Cal.</p>
<p>I have lived all over California… and I mean ALL over… and I think nothing compares to SF. In fact, I will just stay at my current place and BART in to Berkeley if I get accepted. There is a station at the doorstep to Cal.</p>

<p>SIR deadlines
UCI, UCSD, UCSB = June 1st according to my letter and their website</p>
<p>[UCLA</a> = 11:59 p.m., Monday, June 2, 2008<a href=“If%20you%20are%20admitted%20late–close%20to%20or%20after%20this%20date,%20you%20have%20three%20weeks%20from%20the%20date%20on%20your%20letter%20of%20admission%20to%20submit%20your%20SIR.”>/url</a></p>
<p>Transfer Admissions Decisions: I cannot tell you when decisions will be released. I am sorry. I know this is not the answer anyone wants, but it is the truth. Because our campus receives more applications than any other in the country, it takes us a little longer to read and evaluate all of them. We ask that you bear with us just a little longer; we do promise they’ll be released by the end of April.</p>
<p>Well because I think all decisions for Berkeley are released 4/30, instead UCLA can upload decisions beginning of late April, and continue to release them throughout the week instead of releasing all of them at one day like Berkeley.</p>
<p>I’d rather have it the UCLA way and find out sooner if possibly, so I don’t think that’s stupid at all :D</p>
