University of California Transfer Students Fall 2007 OFFICIAL THREAD!!!

<p>I’m gettin 6 A’s…oh snap, I’m not screwed!</p>

<p>Might get a C in Jap 3, oh well who cares</p>

<p>Guys, if you ever want to go to grad school, your grades at CC will matter. Keep that in mind.</p>

<p>Really? UCLAri. That’s weird because what I heard is totally the opposite. I heard that your grade at CC won’t be considered at all because they are lower division classes. The faculty admission for grad school only look at your grade at the upper division level. I don’t know if this is true though.</p>

<p>sent my SIR to UCSB!!! YES</p>

<p>I’ve heard the same about how graduate school will see your CC grades also.</p>

<p>grad school admissions is like undergrad admissions when you’re coming out of hs. the gpa includes cc grades and is a total of all your college years, but they “only” LOOK at upper div grades (however, how can you really quantify what kind of bad feelings they get when their eyes skim over bad cc grades?).</p>

<p>I have to study!!! I have to end up with a 4.0 GPA. I have tooooooooooooooooooooooooo…I will study…i will I will</p>

<p>did anyone submit housing cal app?</p>

<p>and, can u submit it even though u arent sure if u are going?</p>

<p>Has anyone received any F/A paperwork for Cal through the mail yet? I got my envelope today but it was just the official welcome to Cal letter. I’m sure it comes separately though.</p>

<p>mojo…I think you can apply for housing before submitting your SIR but I’m not sure. I applied for the family student housing over a year ago but that’s off campus so it might be different.</p>

<p>luvtoolearn: I received my F/A package two days before I got my official acceptance yesterday. All of my friends tell me to go to Cal, but I’m still undecided. It’s hard to make the decision because I think of going to grad school as well. GPA lower than 3.0 means no grad school, and that really frightens me.</p>

<p>What makes you think Berkeley students will do better than you (since your competing with them)?</p>

<p>Unless your not the type of that studies, then i’m sure you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>…meant to say, “the type of student that studies,”</p>

<p>i agree with walnut. people are really psyching themselves out here. you got into berkeley… you’re berkeley caliber. like anywhere else (even at cc), there are hard classes and easy classes.</p>

<p>

I disagree… there are a lot of dumb CC people who got into cal just cuz it’s so easy to transfer from CC to cal</p>

<p>i agree with lost.</p>

<p>PUNKS ANSWER MY QUESTION!! did anyone submit their housing without actually knowing if they are 100% going?</p>

<p>lostincode,</p>

<p>First off, define “dumb.” Differentiate a dumb “CC person” from a standard freshman admit. Then, define “easy” in regard to transferring.</p>

<p>

yes. where have you been</p>

<p>is berk housing based on first come first serve, or lottery? anyone got info? im goign to visit it on friday.</p>

<p>there are dumb freshmen who got in from easy high schools too. i see/hear a lot of really ditzy students around campus. last year a freshman friend of mine got straight C’s because he joined a frat and decided academia wasn’t worth it anymore (not trying to make a correlation between frats and bad grades) and there are a lot of students like that there too. berkeley is not just a meeting place for demi-gods. i think everyone here, provided they like what they are doing and have the inclination to do homework when it’s given out, will do fine.</p>
