<p>So we worked our ass off to make it into Berkeley now what should we expect from classes? I know the classes are going to be insanely hard but does the majority of transfer students from CCC have a considerable drop in GPA?</p>

<p>lakerforever24, how and why did you get your acceptance letter so early??</p>
<p>@lakerforever hahah you are my hero :)) lmao</p>
<p>At the very top of the forum it has a thread called “Your first semester at U.C” It should still be relevant to the type of information you need</p>
<p>now you say goodbye to your social life for the next 2-3 years!</p>
<p>[aaahaha, maybe a hyperbole! ]</p>
<p>damn nujabes29 you’ve been to hella colleges hahaha</p>
<p>Hey lakerforever24 , congratulation! What’s your major when applying to Berkeley?</p>
<p>Business Admin. I’m so happy that i already got accepted to haas.</p>
<p>I never said that I got in. I was jumping ahead. All this build up is taking place with people freaking out about the wait and getting in, getting in is only the start of the battle.</p>
<p>sure you did laker. because mail totally comes on sundays.</p>
<p>-_-</p>
<p>prove it on this thread. I am not searching 4 pages. lol</p>
<p>^ window licker.</p>
<p>here’s yo proof </p>
<p>[NFL</a> - New Orleans Saints/Indianapolis Colts Box Score Sunday February 7, 2010 - Yahoo! Sports](<a href=“http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20100207011]NFL”>http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20100207011)</p>
<p>wow, you get accepted into HAAS, that’s really awesome, Congratulation again!</p>
<p>apparently I am the victim of a ■■■■■. congratz.</p>
<p>Lint licker! Ahahah</p>
<p>Lakersforever24 may have ■■■■■■■ you, but he got you going with little more than a few sentences on a few different posts. He used the Haas authority method, old as Ovids creation story. He used the epic clout of Haas, similar to retelling a creation story, and got your attention before barley using any words to persuade people that he got in. It’s so simple, and so many people believed him without any evidence at all. You all were his audience, including me. And that’s the way many media outlets and other personalities work, some simply don’t try to hide it (ex. Fox News is 20% news and 80% opinion on what just happened) but it doesn’t matter how many people expose the truth or the methods of argument, people deep down WANT to believe. For example, tea baggers WANT to believe that they are rising up against the government like revolutionaries, but the truth is they are the audience of an argument that has touched them in all the right places.</p>
<p>Scoopydowop, the answer to your question is yes. Matriculants to UCB generally have a drop in their GPA. After 1 year, the average transfer student at UCB (after 1 year) has a 3.25 GPA for that year. </p>
<p>The middle 25th-75th percentile have between a 3.72 and 3.76 when accepted to UCB as a transfer.</p>
<p>Thus, the normal UCB matriculant for any given major can expect a drop of .4 in GPA. Of course, there are outliers and exceptions, and there are plenty of 4.0 and 2.0 transfer students after a year at Cal, however, generally speaking, yes, the GPA drop is significant.</p>
<p>No problem man, best of luck.</p>
<p>berkeley is what you make out of it. you can have fun, take easy courses and have so-so to great gpa if you want. you can, if you want, have fun, get high gpas and take hardcore courses. it all depends on you. theres a place for everyone. Not all courses here at berkeley are hard. Take ugba 102b: intro to managerial accounting, for example. I attended for the first 2 weeks and never came to lectures after that except for final and mts. I was able to get an A.</p>
<p>Some courses, of course, are difficult. If you want to challenge yourself, take classes like stat 134, cs 162, econ 141. You will learn some valuable lessons from those courses (teamwork for example).</p>
