<p>One . . . more . . . month . . . !</p>

<p>thirty one more days. the days could not go by any more slowly…</p>

<p>thirty more days.</p>

<p>im so anxious :(</p>

<p>Hey guys, I’m part of last generation’s college confidential transfers. I got in UC Berkeley as a Computer Science major. I definitely do remember this moment last year haha. I started the countdown from 82 days. Pretty crazy those days were. Anyways, just wanted to put some tips out there that it’s so much better to get your mind off of it. Time will fly by so much faster haha. getting in UC Berkeley was the first and last thing I would think about everyday… It felt like forever. Anyways if anybody wants to talk, feel free to msg me haha</p>

<p>I agree! Keeping busy is key. Reading is a great way to kill time.</p>

<p>I’ve been keeping busy by busting my ass on my current classes. As a result I got a 100% on my Biology mid term and a 94% on my calc 3 mid term. I’m going to spend spring break working on a 7 page English paper. Hopefully these next 4.5 weeks go by quick.</p>

<p>^ wow kudos to you man.
this semester has been a completely apathetic attitude towards my classes. before this semester, i used to look at syllabi and calculate how much wiggle room i had in each class to get an A. but this semester, i calculated it for a B or a C. and it’s definitely shown in some of my classes. i just wanna know already!!</p>

<p>Hope I’ll get into the same major as yours :]</p>

<p>29 days! OMGGGGG Freshmen find out today on the 29th!!! this is all planned out!</p>

<p>JK probably a coincidence, lol</p>

<p>This is going by too slow. Sigh</p>

<p>Freshman found out today! Only soooo much longerrrr</p>

<p>my freshmen friends were mostly rejected, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa scarry</p>

<p>Saw a couple of kids on the CC Cal board and such with > 2300 SATs, tons of ECs and ~4.0 GPA got rejected. Seems like the competition this year is pretty darn tough. Well, hopefully, not too tough for transfers.</p>

<p>I’ve already accepted the fact my GPA is too low and I paid $70 to frame the rejection letter for motivation.</p>

<p>Twenty-eight more days! woohoo lol</p>

<p>four more weeks. oh my goodness.
one more week until i have spring break.
one week of spring break.
one week to wait for ucla.
the longest week of my life until the 27th.</p>

<p>@sparkyboy at the same time, however, I also such a bunch of high school seniors with SAT scores < 1800 and GPAs ~ 3.6 get accepted as well. the kids who fell into this category were well-spoken and seemed to have very profound or interesting essays. also keep in mind that the pressure to have perfect stats is much greater for freshman applicants than transfers! </p>

<p>@jaywonlee actually, when you put it that way, that makes it seem a bit better! perhaps we’ll make it to April 27th after all!</p>

<p>@justinetruant: the disparity between freshmen and transfer applicants is huge. i had a weighted 4.1 and 2100 on the SAT, but got rejected at UCSD. i half tried my three (now four) semesters at a CCC, and i was guaranteed admission at UCSD this time around (TAG). just gotta push through the month of april somehow.</p>
