Its still too long. BC is almost the last one to respond.
@avocadough I am from the Berkeley area! Can I ask why you want to transfer out?
Yeah I agree. It’s kinda awful to wait so long >_< oh well. Nothing we can do about it (I’ve been casually trying to ignore the months until May happens—the 11th is the week of my finals so it’s like counting down for two major events)
@aabbccddz Sorry for my late reply! There’s a long list of reasons why but overall it can be summed up by it being a bad fit for me. I learn best in small class settings, want to be back on the East Coast, changed my major (originally psychology, and Cal has the best psych program, but afer changing it, it didn’t really make sense), don’t like the social atmosphere at Berkeley, and feel that my mental health would be best served elsewhere. Because of Berkeley’s sheer size, it creates a disconnect between admin/professors and students, and getting waitlisted from classes is the norm. (There are some other reasons too, but these are the most prominent). Granted, these are just my opinions/feelings based on my own set of experiences and I have tons of friends who love the school. I just realized it’s a terrible fit for what I need/want in my college experience; if you want more specifics, feel free to PM me
Hey so I know chance threads/responses are pretty wild and not always accurate…but even with that in mind, would anyone be willing to chance me? I already posted my stats in this thread, but as an update I had a 4.0 last semester (with one withdrawn class, explained on my application), and on my midterm report only three of my four classes had grades to give (all were A’s, so currently for my two semesters I have a 4.0).
Any insight would be really appreciated!
Are decisions gonna come by mail or online? The portal says that decisions do not come out online; however, everyone last year seemed to get the decision online.
When do you think they’ll be releasing decisions?
I think around may 10 - may 15.
I would assume the 11th or 18th
I think we should expect decisions may 11
Do y’all know how the business transfer process works? I read that you need to take 3 years after transferring, even if you technically start as a junior.
@Vincent1997 From my experience with BC, they’ll likely send decisions via email (got accepted my freshman year, email ended up in my spam).
@liketb12 Based on last year’s thread, some people starting hearing the second Thursday in May (May 11), some heard May 12 (second Friday). Judging from that, I’d say we can expect to hear either next Thurday or Friday–but then again, as Northeastern’s threads show, you can’t always expect the same thing year after year, so we’ll see. Keep your fingers crossed!
Okay, is this wait killing anyone else? I’ve gotten my other three decisions back (rejected from Cornell, accepted to BU and Northeastern); naturally the one I’m waiting on the most is so close yet so far away ;-;
@MsRazzleDazzle Woah, we applied to all the same schools. I have only heard back from BU so far. What is your top choice?
@aabbccddz Wait, seriously? Cool! And my top choice is BC, followed by BU. Hbu?
@MsRazzleDazzle @aabbccddz I also applied to NEU BC and BU, got into both NEU and BU…still waiting on BC. wish they’d hurry up
@koreanincali ahh okay cool! And yeah I feel—BC’s Decision, if they come out next Thursday/Friday, follow my last two finals, so my stress is thru the roof lol
…okay, I’ve admittedly made a huge mistake–like five months ago I made a countdown to when decisions started coming out last year, and I looked at it, and it says it’s three days away and I don’t know how to function XD
Do they release decisions in waves or all at once?
@avocadough Judging by last years thread, all the decision were released at the same time on Thursday, May 11th around 5pm onward. Waitlisted people got their decision back around June 10th-ish. So I think it’s safe to say BC will hit us all at once as opposed to in waves. At least it won’t be as stressful as most other schools (BU, NU, and Cornell all released in waves, and I’m STILL getting notifications with people freaking out almost a month after getting my decisions back)
