<p>^^^I have a friend who was a spring admit this past year. He still went up to Berkeley, and took classes through their extension program (as many, many spring admits do). They count for credits, toward your major, etc. And you’re still considered a Cal student, so you can still go to football games and all that other good stuff just like a “normal” student would. The only thing is that spring admits get dorms last, so don’t expect housing. In my friends case, it wasn’t a problem, as he was in a house just barely off campus. Then this semester, when dorm space opened and he was officially part of the school, he transfered into a dorm. He actually liked the extension program, as the classes tend to be smaller, which is kinda nice for your first semester. And you still participate in all the school activities, so no one really knows except you and your family. Then 2nd semester you are “officially” in, and the rest is done! Hope that helped, and good luck!</p>
