<p>Hey everyone I just wanted to get a general opinion of my chances of acceptance to UC Berkeley as an OOS junior transfer into the Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Joint Major.</p>
<p>I have fulfilled all their UC general requirements and lower division major requirements w/ straight As in every course. I have MANY meaningful extracurricular activities, such as numerous volunteering activities, and competitions. I'm also a paid tutor in Calc I,II, Chemistry, and Physics @ Texas A&M. Furthermore, I work as a laboratory assistant in the ChemEng department in two different laboratories under two different professors.</p>
<p>I wrote really good essays and answered all their prompts with very good insight as well.</p>
<p>Please tell me what you think my chances are. Thank you very much for your help!</p>
<p>JMO, but its really hard to take posts like this seriously. Unless there is an admissions officer on here who has already viewed your application there is no one who can give you a definitive answer. I understand people with special circumstances asking to be chanced like if they haven’t completed all of the reqs or they have a bad grade in a major class but if you have done the research as I would assume you have based on the fact that you mentioned completing reqs and you have met those minimal requirements there’s nothing more you can do but apply and wait. </p>
<p>After spending some time on this site I have seen a mixed bag of people who have been accepted/rejected, some folks who completed all req’s with excellent GPA’s were denied while others who had not completed all the req’s were accepted. At this point its just a waiting game your chances are as good as anyone else who has met the basic requirements.</p>
<p>I agree 100% with the above. I have people telling me I can’t get into UCB from UCR with a 3.6. But then I have people who actually did get in with that GPA from my school. I have people telling me don’t even apply, but I also have people telling me that I don’t need to even sweat it.
Don’t trust anyone here. Trust your gut. Find someone professional to read your app, like a teacher or Ivy League grad.</p>
