Hi,
I am currently a freshman at Duke and absolutely love it but have recently had a family emergency that makes me want to go to school closer to home to UC Berkeley. I wanted to know how hard it would be to get admitted as a transfer applicant. I feel like coming from a school like Duke it should pretty achievable. I have 3 A’s and 1 B as of now, which is very good for Duke so my grades should be fine.
Thanks in advance!
Berkeley only takes junior level transfers who will have 60 credit units by the time they transfer and are ready to declare a major (or will be ready to declare a major after completing remaining prerequisites in the first semester after transfer).
Would it be possible to take a leave from Duke and take classes at a local community college until the family issues are resolved?
You’ll have to talk it out with the dean of students, but it seems like transferring to a community college is a good plan.
