<p>mainly cause i didnt want to take the science based calculus and risk getting a B…haha im mainly trying to pathe the best possible route to Haas but i dunno…im so stuck on berkeley that even if i get into the other schools and rejected at haas i will be very depressed…</p>
<p>have we seen any of your acting/modeling work?</p>
<p>i’m sure you’ll do fine. you have some impressive stats. calc 2 is killing me ughh… and as for my work, i prefer to stay anonymous ;)</p>
<p>ooohnelle, one of those guys who got in haas is my close friend who i still talk to pretty often. I agree with u that it’s crazy how he got in with a 3.5 but he did. He also didnt take stats or econ 2. Maybe he got super lucky. I’m sure the stats for gettin in has is different but im just lettin u know from what i know. BTW, good luck with all the schools u applied to, I hope u get all of them. Which one is ur first choice?</p>
<p>xtimx,</p>
<p>haha i believe you, now that i FINALLY got the 80% right. anyway, thanks!! well… my first love is ucla, but i don’t know if i can give up haas, given i get in to both schools.</p>
<p>i wish you the best of luck =)</p>
<p>Thanks. Yeah, both schools are really good. Maybe checking out both campuses and observing will help u better decide. I’d pick ucla over haas any day haha.</p>
<p>um. i dont question the validity of him being admitted with his gpa, which is comparably lower then the majority of the applicant pool.</p>
<p>i will contest the fact that he got in without taking stats or econ 2, because 800 people were rejected last year based on ‘ineligibility due to incomplete prereqs’. listen, with an entering class of 90, they dont waste time with people that arent totally wholly devoted. so…in all seriousness. either he took the classes before spring and got into berkeley, or he is not at berkeley. </p>
<p>this needs to be clarified: complete all assigned prereqs before spring, or you will not get in.</p>
<p>Yes I understand what you’re sayin, I’m just speakin from what I know and what he told me. And no he did not take stats or econ 2 before he got into berkeley. He’s there right now in the haas program. I’m not going to argue with u so i’ll just leave it at that.</p>
<p>ooohnelle - I am in Calculus II at CCSF and I am in the TAP program too! Woot! How do you have time for 3 jobs and 31 units? I barely find time for my 19 units and work on the student council.</p>
<p>smith, hahah wow. small world! how did you know i go to ccsf? anyway, good luck!! where are you applying? as for my schedule, i don’t know… i just make time i guess. don’t worry, i still party haha. work hard, play hard right?</p>
<p>anyone here care to chance me?

<p>ooonelle - You said so in that one post in this thread where you put down your stats. </p>
<p>I applied to Cal, UCSD, UCSB, and UCD. I wish I applied to USC, but it didn’t cross my mind. If I don’t get into UCLA, I will especially regret not applying there, but I am fairly confident about UCLA becasue 3.46 BizEcon TAP, but I feel my essays weren’t great so we will see.</p>
<p>Where else did you apply?</p>
<p>the essays arent THAT big of a deal for transfers…i think u are ok</p>
<p>ya but theyre more of a big deal for ucla and ucb compared to the other schools</p>
<p>I’ve herd so many different stories about UCLA and UCB’s admission. I’ve herd on this very thread that they are more numbers heavy and I have also herd that they put more weight on essays and Ec’s. </p>
<p>I don’t think anyone really knows for sure, not even the adcoms. I’m pretty sure there is no set approach.</p>
<p>smith, good luck with those schools. i’m only applying to ucb, ucla, usc, and harv. that’s it!</p>
<p>as for ucla and ucb, it really depends. they have good days and bad days… i’ve heard that they base it mostly on your grades. essays are important but more so for borderline applicants. not sure. who knows?</p>
<p>hey everyone, I’m a current bio sci major at UCD who put in a transfer app to Cal’s Integrated Biology major in LS. I have a 3.97 gpa cumulative UC gpa from my four quarters here. The only college EC I have is intermural tennis but I have lots of random EC from high school (none of them are particularly stellar). I had a horrible gpa (3.4 weighted, 2.8 nonweighted from high school) ok sats (1400, 740, 700, 620 writing) and 4 3’s and 2 4’s on AP tests. I also completed roughly 50 semester units of UC transferable units at santa barbara city during my high school years with about a gpa of about 2.7. My UC cumulative and SBCC gpa combined is 3.34. My essays were a little too honest I think. My gpa at the UCD is also kinda funny because I’ve been averaging 13 units every quarter but none the less being completely envoloped in course material (like going to every office hour…a lil excessive) and not doing anything but school. I will have all my major prereqs (engineering calc, noncalc physics, intro bio, Gen Chem, Ochem) and UC reciprocity (random GE stuff, psych, polisci, drama, english, etc.) done by the end of this school year thanks to all the GE courses I took at SBCC but unfortunately I took classes like intro chem and intro physics (basically science for non science majors when I was 14-15) I will be over the unit cap of 80 semester units by around 15 units by the end of this year. I day dream about Cal all the time and I was wondering what you think my chances are.</p>
<p>This what the Berkeley transfer FAQ says:</p>
<p>Q: If my total number of UC transferable units is over 80, am I eligible for admission?
A: Unfortunately, not if you’ve applied to the College of Letters and Science, where most applicants with excess units are denied admission. If you’ve applied to the College of Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Design, Natural Resources or Haas School of Business, your application will be reviewed and there may be a slight chance of admission with excess transferable units. Exception: If all of your coursework has been or will be completed at one or more California community colleges, you are eligible for admission and the maximum transfer credit you can receive is 70 semester (105 quarter) units.</p>
<p>From what you said, I think you would have had a better chance at Cal if you stayed at Santa Barbara City.</p>
<p>let us say that u have a 2.0 gpa, have no major requirements finished, barely met the minimum unit requirements, you have gone through only two semestres of ccc,but u write an essay that is absolutely beautiful. it’s an essay that is really an work of art in itself: flawless with a breadth of original ideas, theories, philosophy, theology. it is so great, so well written, so poerful and so encompensing that it literally has the power to turn people who read into ur disciples. now tell me, does this person has a fair chance at ucla or berkeley?</p>
<p>yes, its called admissions by exception. Its rare though, like .00001%</p>
<p>never heard of it, prolly impossible. Admission by exeption, ya if ur dad donates 10 mil to build a new library, thats admissoin by exeption.</p>
