<p>The application process is over with, but I would like to know what people here think of my chances. I have good numbers on paper, but I hear transferring between UCs is tricky...</p>
<p>I'm currently in Computer Science & Engineering (BS) at UC Davis, and applied for a transfer to Computer Science L&S (BA) in Berkeley.</p>
<p>My final GPA that the admissions officers will see is a 3.93. I received straight A's my first year, but received a B+, A- and A+ fall quarter sophomore year.</p>
<p>My extracurriculars are focused around business, and I've started a couple of my own internet companies. I did not list any clubs though...</p>
<p>I think my essays were decently strong.</p>
<p>My concern is that priority is given to transfer students from non-four year colleges.</p>
<p>Is it true that if all spaces are filled with community college transfers, 4 year student applications will not even be considered?</p>
<p>Wait, i have not heard of that. Its true that UCs give priority to CCC students. The UCs cater to ccc students because after 60 units and receiving their AA, where else can they go? They have nowhere! Anyways, not everything is based on numbers, and esp. for berkeley. I would recommend worrying about your essay. Based on numbers, anyone with a 3.8 + has a good chance @ berk.</p>
<p>Also, if you were so worried about going to berk, maybe u should have done 30 units at a CC to get priority....</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the Berkeley Reading & Composition requirement (the link shows up on the transfer update page) still applies to UC transfers who will have the UC Reciprocity agreement?</p>
<p>I think you have a very good chance of getting into Berkeley. A 3.93 is a very strong GPA for the admissions office to see, and compared to the large student body here (I'm currently a sophmore here at Berkeley), an upper level GPA. A majority of the transfers I have met HAVE come from community colleges, and I have heard that Berkeley is trying to increase its CC transfer rate, but I'm not sure how that will effect 4 year transfers... I'd say you've got a good chance, good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, and if you do get in and want to live with other people/on campus, try to get into upper classmen housing (the on campus appts, or the new suites) or into a co-op (if you're a hippy loving type). The right housing can make or break you here since the student pop is so large.</p>
