<p>so, 20 days after finding out im going to cal i realize it wasnt so tough. excitment's over, reality has set in, been talking to my peers... seems like everyone is going. </p>
<p>for those about to start community college with a clean slate and have the desire to go, i gurantee you will get in.. </p>
<p>goodluck and see you at cal.</p>
<p>You must attend a feeder school.</p>
<p>huuuge blanket statement........depends on major......</p>
<p>Berkeley sucks!!</p>
<p>ugly girls with chest hair everywhere</p>
<p>not to mention moustaches</p>
<p>dude, why aren't the berkeley girls hot</p>
<p>they are supposed to be smart, right?</p>
<p>if they were smarter, they would realize guys like hot babes.</p>
<p>LOL
its prolly harder for business major eh?
T__T</p>
<p>Of course it doesn't seem that tough now. I started feeling the same way, but remember: 72% of the people who applied didn't get in. A lot of my peers got in as well, but they're all really smart; smarter than me, probably. Also, it seemed like the success rate for people on this board was like 90%, which is pretty incredible. Almost every non-business major got in.</p>
<p>This is why people always say, "Oh, my stats were only blah blah blah, and I got in no problem." Surely, they weren't there to witness their application being reviewed; it just seems a lot easier once you've done it.</p>
<p>yeah, my friend who goes to DVC, says he has a lot of friends who got into berkeley with 3.0-3.4s......i was surprised bc cc had me under the impression that it takes at least a 3.6 or something....but he says he knows a girl who got into poly sci with a 3.2</p>

<p>It is "political science," not "polytical science," and thus "poli sci."</p>
<p>poly sci (suck my thumb)</p>
<p>DVC is a feeder college.</p>
<p>I wouldn't think that whether or not a school is a "feeder college" would make a difference.</p>
<p>berkeley suks!!</p>
<p>im at DVC.. yes, it transfers a lot to berkeley. blanket statement? maybe, but i know 5-6 EECS, several bio majors, bout 10 haas, ton of econs, poli scis .. berkeley sucks becuase girls have hairy chests? u have to see what u want in a school, academics or a party, check out UCSB. the truth is.. cals a huge school and u only need to find 2-3 diamonds in the rough for a good time.</p>
<p>point well taken, CC2UC. 2-3 works for me, AT A TIME!</p>
<p>"I wouldn't think that whether or not a school is a "feeder college" would make a difference."</p>
<p>A feeder college literally means it sends a lot of students to Cal. It's set up for that, and blatantly, a lot of students from DVC going to Cal means nothing; that's expected and has happened for many years.</p>
<p>I concur with others when they say "depends on major." Some majors aren't as impacted as others so it's easier to get in. Statistics for Haas speaks for it self, 85/1200 get in.</p>
<p>the berkeley dean of undergraduate admissions, speaking at the vista college graduation last week, (vista is a cc in berkeley) said that vista had a 46% overal l transfer acceptence rate, as opposed to 28% statewide.</p>
<p>it only makes sense for DVC to send a lot of students. its obvious, since its such a huge school. obviously they send the highest number of students bc of the school's size, but that doesn't mean that in proporation to other CCs, they're much better. i think dvc being an amazing/special cc is probably a myth <em>shrug</em> i guess i'll find out next year.</p>
