<p>Unit 2 – RH Std Triple </p>
<p>ew. can I still appeal?</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation as you. They told me you have to accept the offer (which the deadline was yesterday) and then send in an appeal at <a href=“mailto:reshall@berkeley.edu”>reshall@berkeley.edu</a>. They’ve informed me that chances of a transfer are extremely low.</p>
<p>Woohoo!</p>
<p>I originally got Unit 1 Triple Suite, however I immediately requested for Transfer, and today I was just informed that I have a spot in Channing Bowditch!</p>
<p>Yeaah, so definitely send those emails in!</p>
<p>Haha, I got an email saying a spot opened up for me in Channing-Bowditch too.</p>
<p>Dude that’s awesome.</p>
<p>Are you gunna take it?</p>
<p>Damn… I didn’t email until last night…</p>
<p>What did you say in your appeals? I told them I’d prefer to live amongst upper division/transfer students.</p>
<p>You should state specifically where you want to transfer into. Otherwise, they’ll just tell you they’ll do their best to group you with the other transfers.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m definitely taking it. And the only thing I told her was that I’d like to be switched into Channing-Bowditch without really giving a reason. But yeah, I emailed pretty much as soon as I got my initial offer.</p>
<p>I just got a spot in Channing Bowditch!!!
I had a unit 3 triple to start
THE WAIT LIST WORKS!
:DDD</p>
<p>For the people who got a successful transfer appeal, did you pay the $300? I accepted my contract but I withheld paying it because I was about to search for offcampus housing since I didn’t think I could get a spot (granted I think I did email fairly late ~ around the middle of the week) but now hearing all these success stories is making me hopeful again, however I’m afraid I just voided my chance by not paying.</p>
<p>People who appealed, how long ago did you send an email/submit your appeal? I just send mine, I currently have a Unit 2 triple dorm. Hopefully it works.</p>
<p>Gloomy - I think you voided your application by not paying by the deadline. The best thing you can do is ask to be put on a waiting list.</p>
<p>I sent my request for transfer about a week ago, pretty much the day after I received my offer. I did pay my $300, but they will refund me so I can pay my dues to Channing Bowditch.</p>
<p>And you don’t even need to mention why you want to move, just tell them where exactly. It’s a first come, first serve basis so I doubt any extra information is going to help, because I think they wanted any health issues to be discussed in Phase 1 of the housing application.</p>
<p>Wow, this is amazing: I emailed them today asking if I can be offered a different housing assignment(preferably CB or Wada 2) and literally 3 hours later they email me offering a CB apartment!!! So excited, no more Unit 2 triple dorm.</p>
<p>Yeah, screw that unit 2 triple room. Hope my appeal goes through</p>
<p>Well that is irritating to know… I sent them an email last night and got nothing back! I sent a follow up letting them know I had forgotten to specify what rooms I would like and got a short note back.</p>
<p>Damn I’ve already ****ed them off! lol</p>
<p>Appeals are sent to <a href=“mailto:reshall@berkeley.edu”>reshall@berkeley.edu</a>, right?</p>
<p>A short note?</p>
<p>Basically, it was a “okay we got it… go away” message. I didn’t want to leave anything to chance which is why I sent out a follow up to my original email to them.</p>
<p>I didn’t specify the dorms I wanted, I figured to protect myself that it was wiser for me to reply and risk a terse response which is what I got. Ah well.</p>
<p>sreyes: That’s where I was told to send them.</p>
<p>I wonder if Channing Bowditch is a safer bet than Wada. Most of the people I know who had successful appeals asked for Channing Bowditch.</p>
