<p>Berk’s my friend’s name :eek:
I wouldn’t like to go to “Berk” :p</p>
<p>Anyways, Fun thread is fun.</p>
<p>Cal - go there if you want to party
Berkeley - go there if you want to study
UCB - don’t go here…</p>
<p>This might just be the best thread ever.</p>
<p>Remember that horrible attempt at a merger of the two with “Cal Berkeley”</p>
<p>Yeah…I’d like to forget too…</p>
<p>Hi, I’m sorry if I’m posting this on the wrong thread but I’m currently in CC hoping to transfer into UCB, Cal, or Berkeley. I will be applying for next year and I was hoping if anyone can chance me on the schools? GPA: 2.3. Will be 4.0 be the end of the semester. EC’s: almost none Volunteer: 2 hours helping professor by driving him to school. Strengths: I’m very well versed in pickle licking and exuding fluids from my fingers to my toes as well as organizing snowmen by height and abstract structure. Thanks in advance! :)</p>
<p>^ Rejected by Berkeley, admitted to UCB, and waitlisted by Cal.</p>
<p>lol forum people are sooo silly it’s awesome :)</p>
<p>Lmao !!!</p>
<p>I’m a Berkeley student and Cal is short for Berkeley. What’s Cal in the context of this thread?</p>
<p>Cal is Cal. The separate from Berkeley entity that it is.</p>
<p>^^ Be happy that you attend Berkeley. You don’t need to worry about Cal … or UCB, for that matter.</p>
<p>I got into Berkeley but was rejected from Cal :(</p>
<p>It’s tough. My parents always wanted me to go to Berkeley and they are happy. But I am so sad. I just love Cal’s blue and gold much more than Berkeley’s gold and blue. Even Cal’s Oski is so much better than Berkeley’s golden bear. I am definitely gonna appeal.</p>
<p>Ugh, did anyone else accidentally mention Berkeley in their “Why Cal” essay? I was thinking that would kill my application, but I got in anyway! Still going to Berkeley tho.</p>
<p>As a football fan, it is hard to chose.
In the big game match up Cal leads Berkeley over the last 5 years, but Berkeley has the edge over the last 10 years.
UCB is weaker, but it plays the spoiler since it can keep either out of the Rose Bowl with an upset win.</p>
<p>I’m in the exact same situation as you, but I was wondering if Cal was not surpassing Berkeley in terms of prestige.
Do you know which college is better for pre med ?
My daughter is an undergrad at Cal and she loves it !
They are both great schools, you can’t go wrong with any of them.
I’d say, follow your heart.</p>
<p>hey guys. I just heard back from cal and ucb. I got a $36,000 scholarship from cal (I play the oboe) and only $40,000 from ucb. Idk I am like a little surprised because I was expecting more money from ucb, it’s a worse school. Anyways, I’m still waiting on hearing back from princeton. Quick question- how easy is to transfer from cal to berkelee? I really want to pursue oboe playing as a career, maybe tie it in with biomedical engineering?</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
-nationally recognized oboe player
-honorable mention for trombone playing
-national merit winner
-drafted to the nfl
-winner of spelling bee
-ballet dancer
-36 Act, 2347 SAT
-4.20 GPA (unweighted)
-super hipster</p>
<p>Tryna rush delta delt in college!! Berkeleei has it, but Cal doesn’t. Any delta delt brothers out here?</p>
<p>Guise, what do I do? I just want to cure cancer.
Thx.</p>
<p>Yeeharryee-</p>
<p>Dude, those are some sick stats. I’ve been dabbling in the art of hipsters too, got any advice?? I’m a delta delt right now, if you have any questions dm on twitter @deltabrosnohomo and follow me on instagram @deltabrosyeshomo. </p>
<p>As far as colleges go, I would def go for cal, it’s a way better school. I heard you can cross enroll at berkelee, it’s a pretty long commute but it’s doable. Keep up that oboe passion. </p>
<p>Also, have you looked at Barnard? I think that would be a great school for you. </p>
<p>What time recruited you for the NFL? I play for the falcons, it’s pretty chill.</p>

<p>“I’m a Berkeley student and Cal is short for Berkeley. What’s Cal in the context of this thread?”</p>
<p>I believe “Cal” is short for “California”. I’ve seen some college sweatshirts in the Cal section and it simply has “California” emblazoned across the front. I myself wondered why some people wouldn’t think you were just a strong proponent of the great state of CA, but I guess not. BTW, I’ve seen it with and without the bear.</p>

<p>I have lots of advice, you just can’t shop at urban outfitters. even though they have hipster brands, it just isn’t legit. I’m taking AP Hipster Studies and I specifically studied a lot about shopping for the AP test (to eliminate my requirement in cal or bereklee, wherever I decide). Try to go to some garage sales, antique stores, or thrift shops to buy things that nobody else has.
Yee man Im so excited to rush delta delt wherever I go. Did you like their fb page? its <a href=“http://www.facebook.com/yeedeltadeltyee[/url]”>www.facebook.com/yeedeltadeltyee</a></p>
<p>I think my football coach likes me cross enrolling so that I can run to the other campus to practice. I was drafted to the Packers in 8th grade as an offensive lineman but I don’t like it because there isn’t enough physical contact. </p>
<p>I WAS ALREADY ACCEPTED TO BARNARD AS THE FIRST MALE TO ATTEND SINCE BARACK OBAMA</p>
<p>Yeeharryee-</p>
<p>Bro, that’s impressive. Deltadelt loves stuff like that. If you end up at Berkeley, you’ll definitely get a bid from us. </p>
<p>If you join delta delt at berkeley we can be roommates 
and go hipster shopping all the time. </p>
<p>I would seriously consider cal though, it’s way cooler and I love it here. SO happy i didn’t choose berkeley. However, I wish I got into berkelee. </p>
<p>thoughts guys?!?!</p>
