Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I know decisions are coming out soon and I just wanted to wish you all good luck. Cal is an amazing place, and even though it's difficult, I haven't regretted my decision to come here.</p>

<p>Last year I thought I had no chance to get into Cal. Even my JC counselor told me I would never get into Cal. Even though my gpa was competitive, I was missing pre-reqs for my major. I still applied thinking "you never know..."</p>

<p>The feeling I had at that moment was truly unique and one of the best feelings of my entire life. I hope you all get to feel what I did.</p>

<p>Go BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Oh and for those wondering, I'm a guy that never planned on attending college. I got 5 F's my freshmen year of HS (left everyday at lunch). I only finished HS because I passed out of it through the CHSPE. Didn't start community college until age 23. Now I'm at Berkeley pursuing a biology degree. Anything can happen, it's never too late.</p>

<p>kamelred - I have a very similar situation to yours. I appreciate you sharing your story. Seriously, you just made my afternoon a tad bit less stressful.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>You totally give hope to us patiently, but nerve wrenchingly waiting for a decision!! I have a similar story except it carried onto community college and my GPA is not very competitive. (Hahaha) banking on Cal’s holistic approach at accepting students.</p>

<p>Are we going to receive an email when our decisions are ready?</p>

<p>I’m so touched even though I clearly know I’m not good enough to get in and I’m OOS from a four-year university, which just makes all the UC transfer stuff too hard. But who knows?</p>
