hi, I apply college of natural resource as well but majoring nutritional science. I didnt receive any email from the faculty, did you?
@outerhaven just wanted to say that your “Long Shot, but I am a Gamblin’ Man” made me chuckle. Wishing you the best!
Is it a bad sign if you don’t receive a supplemental questionnaire for UCB? I got one from UCI…
@ajcast The Berkeley supplemental application was emailed out to anyone who applied there in early January, and It was due January 31st.
@ajcast, did you submit the additional forms on myberkeleyapp?
ahh, so nervous! this is the year I apply for Berkeley. I visited the school last weekend and loved the vibe and atmosphere overall. I don’t understand how some people deemed the neighborhood Berkeley is in as bad. It’s vastly better than USC that is for sure. I’m not sure of my chances of getting in, I have a 3.7 GPA applying to transfer to econ. There are reasons for such a low GPA(Last year was my first year back, I received 10 a’s 1 b, but four years ago my first semester in college I received 3 b’s. I had to work since my mom was diagnosed with cancer, so yeah.) Does UCLA and UCB factor in that I worked full-time at my job and I progressed at my job from an entry level sales associate to now working as the district/regional manager?(I just turned 25 April 1st)
@ylfsef Yes, they do! Good luck!
actually 6 years ago was my first semester at a CCC*
@lindyk8 Thank you! keeping fingers crossed.
I read on the Berkeley website that when you do get accepted after applying for econ, you’re not exactly in the major just yet. You have to take a stats and economics class your first semester, and classes for a backup major. Are there any other caveats to this? Why do they do that? It just seems like a murky situation for the student.
I’m not sure about Econ, but it’s true, sometimes they have those dreaded weeder classes they want you to go through.
You petition for the major after your first semester.
Yes, you’ll be a pre-econ major, and you’ll need at least a B in all of the required classes (if I remember right) to be admitted to econ.
@luckie1367 do you go to pierce college? I saw your post inquiring about pierce in 2013. Did you transfer from pierce to berkeley?
Whoa @Ylfsef diggn’ deep.
No, I actually attend Santa Monica college and I’m in the application process this year!
Edit: wow, I can’t believe its been 2 years!
@luckie1367 Haha it was by chance, I searched Pierce college in the search tab – There wasn’t too many topics on that college. I go to pierce currently, thats why I was asking. Are you applying to Berkeley? What are you majoring in?
@Ylfsef I have applied to Berkeley as a psychology major.
How about you?
I’m applying this year as an economics major. So, for fall 16 @luckie1367
Cool! I wish you the best of luck @Ylfsef !
Anybody here going for Haas? Seems like I’m the only one still active on this forum.
