Late Berkeley Rescindment

I was admitted to UC Berkeley’s School of Chemistry as a transferring Chemistry major for Fall 2016. One of the conditions of my admissions was that I receive no less than a B in any of the four courses I was taking my last semester at community college. The courses I was taking and their respective grades are as follows: Linear Alg/Diff Eq (B), Modern Physics/Optics ©, Electricity/Magnetism (B), Organic Chemistry 2 (A).

Although my term GPA stayed above a 3.0, the C jeopardizes my admission. I sent an update to Admissions on 5/10/2016, and three more times thereafter to no avail.

I was Accepted to all 8 UC schools. Because I was unable to get a timely response from Berkeley, I SIRed to both Berkeley and UCLA. However, the UC system eventually forced me to decline one of my admissions, and i opted out of UCLA. I chose to do this because somebody with whom I spoke in Admissions told me that I probably wasn’t getting a response because my violation was so minor, and that I don’t have anything to worry about.

On 8/05/2016, I received a email from Quincy Jones, Assistant Director of Admissions, detailing my Failure to Meet Conditions. I am told that I will receive a decision regarding my admission sometime this week.

Receiving this notice so ridiculously late leaves me with no options. It has been over a month since I declined my admission to UCLA.

Any advice on what I should do from here would be greatly appreciated.

UC Merced Spring transfer enrollment is still open until Aug 31… If I were in your shoes Id see two ways out. 1 transfer to UC Merced, destroy their program, then go to UC for grad school. Or take another year, possibly switch majors and try jumping over again. When you get there, double major. Or , you Might not even have to declare a different major the 2nd time around. Good Luck!
