Chances of getting accepted to UC Berkeley?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am a physics major at a community college looking to transfer in the fall 2012 term to UC Berkeley. I have a 3.906 GPA however my only 2 B's were non UC transferable courses so I think ill be transferring with a 4.0. I am also done with all my GE's. The thing that is going to hurt my chances is that I wont have all my major prerequisites done by the time of transfer. Ill still need to take electricity/magnetism, linear algebra/diff equations, and chem. Im pretty sure id be able to finish all these my first semester there though. Also I have a bit of extra curricular, but not that much.
So what are my chances? and more specifically how strict do you think Berkeley will be about finishing prereqs prior to transfer?</p>

<p>Also I noticed a small typo in my application essay. there was a random question mark at the beginning of one of my sentences. Is this a big deal?</p>

<p>Erg. Most the UCs likes pre-reqs done. Are you trying to transfer to EEECs or Letters?</p>

<p>You know, it is hard to say. A 4.0 is awesome. And I don’t know how strict CAL is on pre-reqs. So that isn’t much help, I know. If you get turned down, you may want to seriously consider finishing the pre-reqs, work a bit, and apply for the following year.</p>

<p>As for the small typos–don’t sweat that.</p>
