<p>one of my friends who applied to college of arts & sciences got in with a 35 something in ib and 1 1950 sat and 1400 sat 2 on 1600
and i got rejected from undeclared engineering with a 4.3 gpa, 2230 sat 1 and 1560 sat 2</p>
<p>now after he gets in he can start working hard and transfer into some engineering course
but what about me??i can't even enter</p>
<p>seriously this major based thing should change</p>
<p>btw both are intels</p>
<p>i don’t know what you said but yeah it’s really really hard to transfer into engineering from letters&science so good luck to him, and don’t be bitter bro!</p>
<p>I also heard from one of the deans in Engineering that transferring from L&S to Engineering is strongly discouraged and fiercely competed. Although it is a second chance to get into Berkeley Engineering, the risk is to stay in L&S forever.</p>
<p>It’s much harder to transfer to college of engineering than actually applying to it as a freshmen.</p>
<p>I don’t think your intended major/college is what got your friend accepted or you rejected.</p>
<p>“undeclared engineering” is the hardest engineering major to get into. That probably WAS your problem, picking that major. I agree, the system for admitting engineers is not really fair or reasonable. </p>
<p>But it’s certainly not easy to transfer into engineering from L&S, you have to get high grades in very hard courses…</p>
<p>That sucks.. I got into Berkeley Engineering with a 4.25 UC GPA; 2230 SAT1/ 1520 SAT2… ;P</p>
<p>Berkeley admissions were random at my school this year also</p>
<p>all i have to say is that undeclared engineering is one of the hardest (if not THE hardest) majors to get into. being accepted into l&s is faaaar easier.</p>
