Official UC Berkeley 2015 Transfer Thread

@GUNTHERthymes chill homie.

i swear my blood pressure is in its all time high…

So nervous

It’s not up yet

I wish all UC schools would’ve released their decisions all at once. I’ve wasted SO much time trolling acceptance portals and these forums this month. I practically have to remind myself to breathe as I blink and click refresh. -____-

Cannot…blink…my…eyeballs…

Having been accepted to other UCs will make the sting of being rejected by Cal a little less severe.

So UCLA had some things happen before the admissions came out like 10 minutes before. The portal wording changed and some financial aid thing changed. Does Berk have any history of this type?

This is student abuse!!!

Lol waste too much time to F5 ;))

in 30 minutes all of our emotions/lives can change drastically…just think about that

Or was that UC Davis?

@masontruelove They’re not supposed to factor race into any decisions. I don’t think that will help.

My heart skips a beat when my page auto refreshes

Does anyone know exactly what UCB looks for in the personal statements specifically?

-> Initiative, motivation, leadership, persistence, service to others, special potential and substantial experience with other cultures
->All achievement in light of the opportunities available to you
->Any unusual circumstances or hardships you have faced and the ways in which you have overcome or responded to them. Having a hardship is no guarantee of admission. If you choose to write about difficulties you have experienced, you should describe:
-> How you confronted and overcame your challenges, rather than describing a hardship just for the sake of including it in your application
->What you learned from or achieved in spite of these circumstances

This thread is the funniest fill in the blank I’ve ever seen

Best of luck everyone!
