<p>Thats a great question, but you probably wont get many answers on this thread because of the title. Perhaps you should start a thread for that on its own. Either way, I’m curious about that as well…</p>
<p>My brother got into UCB as a transfer psych major with about a 3.6 in 2006. I’m sure his ECs wernt thar great but he is a witty and brilliant writer so I’m sure his essays were fantastic.</p>
<p>UCB Psych! yee yeah. lol…but I chickened out and applied phil.</p>
<p>after seeing everyone stats, not much hope to get into UCB lol.

<p>Haven’t seen any English majors on this yet !
So here goes, chance me, plox, for Bezerkeley.</p>
<p>Major: English Literature</p>
<p>GPA: 3.76</p>
<p>IGETC: Finishing spring 2010</p>
<p>TAP/ TAG: UCLA. Nothing for Berkeley.</p>
<p>PREREQS: For LA, 3/4. Berkeley, 0/4.
So the thing is, I originally planned to transfer to LA as my first choice and had a change of heart. Now focusing on getting into Berkeley. My CC only offers 1/4 of the major prereqs I need (a class I’ll have finished end of spring), but for the 3 that are not articulated, I am taking classes extremely similar. All will be finished by end of spring.

<p>Essays: 9/10 and 8/10 (****, I’m an English major. It’d be pretty bad if they weren’t good…)</p>
<p>Okay. So nervewracking.
BE BRUTALLY HONEST PLEASE.</p>
<p>That lack of prereqs is going to hurt you pretty badly, theres no other local community colleges? where do you live?</p>
<p>@corinnejay</p>
<p>I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, Walnut? Two streets down from the nearest community college, Mt. Sac. I honestly wasn’t prepared to transfer to Berkeley and regardless, I don’t believe Berkeley will penalize me because my school does not offer the major prereqs. I emailed a dean of the English Department there and he said that it doesn’t hurt. Especially if I have substitutional courses that could possibly count for the courses not articulated.</p>
<p>God, I’m so nervous. I did all that I could, honestly.</p>
<p>We’ll at least your GPA still good. Would you prefer UCLA or UCB?</p>
<p>I heard that if your college does not offer those prerequisites, it will not hurt you.</p>
<p>Cyrstal your look like you should get over the fence into Berkeley. Pre-reqs may be bad, but its unrealistic that they would punish you</p>
<p>I think you have above 50% for sure.</p>
<p>@ Crystal: I applied for philosophy. 0/3 prereqs done…none offered as well. Took 2 phil classes and got A’s. The UCB rep said I had a great chance (GPA: 3.74). </p>
<p>You won’t be punished for your lack of prereqs as you really had little to no choice. I clarified this with the UCB rep as well. I would say that you’re in. 75-80%.</p>
<p>I’m definitely on the fence for UCB. I got a 3.33 at my first college (UO) and a 4.0 from the CCC I’m going to now so I don’t know what my overall GPA is but it looks really low in comparison to everyone else. But I have IGETC done and all my prereqs and good EC and essay.
Anyone think I have a chance at UCB?</p>
<p>^^^^^^What is your major?</p>
<p>Sorry History :)</p>
<p>How many units did you have at each college? With an 18% admit rate, even a 4.0 would be a gamble, so I have to say it’s probably not likely. Sorry.</p>
<p>^Any of the fence people get in so far?</p>
<p>Probably below the fence, but hey…</p>
