The Official UCB Fall of 2014 Decisions Thread

<p>@chaoscuber‌ </p>

<p>Dude! That’s so freaking awesome. Man that totally proves how different (and weird) the admission reviews are for each UC.</p>

<p>@chaoscuber‌ and @randombookie‌, did you see the person who got accepted to, I believe, UCSD, UCD, UCLA and another UC, and his only rejection was from San Diego State? That was kind of Twilight Zone-ish.</p>

<p>@loyshi, now that I’ve gotten accepted into all the UCs I applied to (UCD, UCLA, UCSD) and now I’m waiting on UCB I would be kind of sad, but not as sad, because as someone else already mentioned even though berkeley is my first choice I now have another amazing university to attend (UCLA) if berkeley decides to reject me. Therefore, it would not be as bad… But I still hope to get into Berkeley I just fell in love with that school, I don’t want to get my heart broken haha :confused: </p>

<p>I really want to go to Berkeley, but I see that Econ is a capped major, so I dont really now if i can have that chance.</p>

<p>@ucastell‌ </p>

<p>My powers of clairvoyance indicate to me that you’ll get in at Berkeley.</p>

<p>Clearly, I have some sort of ability to predict people’s futures! :D</p>

Considering how much time you are on CC, what’s your secret to being on CC and maintaining your classes/GPA? lol :smiley: </p>

<p>@Loyshi‌ </p>

<p>lol, the secret is managing one’s time well.</p>

<p>I think being on CC is becoming a full-time job now. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m supposed to be doing some reading for my philosophy class but here I am, posting on the UC transfer forum. I’ll get to it eventually, though.</p>

<p>It’s all good, though. I’m somehow maintaining a proper balance between being on here and school. :D</p>

<p>@cayton, I hope so :slight_smile: I really want to go there. But I feel way better now that UCLA accepted me, I can always go there… either way I can’t go wrong. :)</p>

<p>@ucastell‌ </p>

<p>Especially as a pre-med student, UCLA and Berkeley offer excellent opportunities.</p>

<p>If you decide to go to Berkeley, you should try and see if they have any research opportunities available to pre-meds that are offered in conjunction with UCSF. I’m willing to bet Berkeley and UCSF seem to have a relationship of sorts since Berkeley doesn’t have its own medical school.</p>

<p>But hey…you could always just go to the UC that has its own medical school and happens to be in Los Angeles. :P</p>

<p>@lindyk8 The same happened to me! Accepted to UCSD and UCLA, rejected from SDSU, lol. Weird situation. </p>

<p>@smashley93 and @lindyk8 same for me, but I got rejected from SJSU also.
Congrats to everyone who made it^^</p>

<p>@jonjon03 @lindyk8 I don’t mean to sound like a sore loser or try and justify a rejection, but someone in my school’s admin. was saying that the CSUs give HUGE priority to local applicants. They would prefer a 3.0 in-area over a 4.0 out of area. </p>

<p>@smashley93‌ </p>

<p>That’s probably the only plausible explanation for the fact that you got accepted to UCLA and rejected from San Diego State. That sounds like some bizarro-world stuff right there.</p>

<p>And congrats to getting in at UCLA! Hope you get into Berkeley too!</p>

<p>@Cayton Thank you! To you as well :slight_smile: Are you waiting on Cal or did you already SIR?</p>

<p>@smashley93‌ </p>

<p>I think I’ll SIR tomorrow or in the next few days. I’ll still want to see what Cal says, though. It’s always nice to get more acceptances, right? :D</p>

<p>@Cayton‌
Once accepted, join the dark side…at Berkeley :wink: lol</p>

<p>are you going to any of the admit events at UCLA? </p>

<p>do you think that i have a chance to get in? My gpa is 3.9, but i dont know what my UC’s gpa is ( i have 1 B in calculus 2, and I get A for other courses). my major is econ which is a capped major in Berkeley. Really have no idea</p>

<p>Well that was depressing. Rejected from ucla with a 3.95 gpa for biz Econ. </p>

<p>Now I’m even more scared for cal. </p>

<p>@Kc9981‌ you sound highly qualified based on your GPA, but because its Econ at Berkeley, your admissions will most likely depend on how good your essays were
@GreatestThe‌ Dang! thats harsh man :frowning: i feel bad now cause i surprisingly got into UCLA with ~3.7 but i was applying for Biochemistry, which is not as impacted as biz Econ im sure. Im worried about Cal too but honestly i dont know what to say bout your situation, maybe if your essays are really good? cause they take that into account more, which im sure they are, i still think you have a shot. Stay positive :slight_smile: Nonetheless only 6 more days till i hear from my dream school</p>

<p>@bookham yeah man. Well. I was in a school shooting and had bad grades. Then rocked community college. I built 3 businesses that made a profit. I wanted to go to ucla since it’s local
But Berkeley is the better school for my program. Maybe they’ll accept me and this was fate. I applied to haas though haha. I think I’m screwed. Any idea a out spring acceptances ? I only applied to cal and ucla. </p>
