<p>Ive been admitted as a Fall 09 admit. But as an oos applicant, i cant afford the cost,
so will be attending the lesser amazing University of Texas for an extremely cheaper price.</p>
<p>But I still have an immense desire to at least experience Berkeley and be a part of it, even just for one year.</p>
<p>I would just try and apply for berkeley grad school (will the experience be totally different?), but bc im not even sure of my carreer, idk if i will even go to grad.</p>
<p>So is the actual process of transferring, for like my last undergrad year possible? or simple (besides getting admitted)? Would I need to plan out my credits to fit with berkeley?</p>
<p>I hear of ppl transferring in and out of colleges alot.. so i was just curious.</p>
<p>The application itself is basically the same as the one you filled out this year. You do have to declare a major when you apply (and therefore must have completed all of the prerequisites for that major by the end of your spring term), and you also have to have between 60 and 80 transferable units of credit.</p>
<p>so would it be normal to apply as a transfer for my fourth year and come out with a berkeley undergrad degree?</p>
<p>is the transfer selection process more competitive? (most likely will not be engineering or business of science)</p>
<p>^^the transfer process is about 50X easier than the freshmen process from community college. from oos university it’s about 20X…</p>
<p>You can’t normally apply as a transfer for your fourth year if you’ve been taking a normal courseload (unless a bunch of your courses don’t count for transfer credit or something).</p>
<p>Berkeley gives priority consideration to transfer applicants from CA community colleges (CCCs). Transfer applicants from other 4-year/out-of-state colleges are only considered on a space available basis and therefore the admit rate is extremely low.</p>
<p>Also consider that you will have to study the general education and major prerequisite requirements for Cal and try to find comparable courses to take at UT. It can be an aggravating process.</p>
<p>I would recommend attending a CCC and apply for transfer. The time you spend in CCC will also give you the opportunity to claim state residency.</p>
<p>If you are fine with getting a degree from UT, then attend there and apply for transfer to see what happens.</p>
