UC Berkeley 2017 Transfer Thread

@orangered123 If I decline my offer does that open up spots? Because I already SIR’d to UCLA.

Regents should come out next week based on previous years.

Just double checking, people that SIR’d did it through CalCentral, right?

Anyone knows where an engineering majored transfer should send an appeal form to? Should I send an email directly to the admission office or send a written mail to the Transfer Appeals Committee?
(I know my decision letter says they don’t accept appeals for engineering majors but I still want to challenge my denied admission. UCB is my dream school, FOR REAL!)

Overall GPA: 3.92 (only one B in physics)
Major: EECS
IGECT: not competed (but only in lack of one bio class)
Major prep: completed, took all recommended classes (including not articulated but major related classes)
Personal Insights: Fine (demonstrate interest in cs and interdisciplinary study between psych&cs)
EC: ACM workshops, Math/Physics Club
Honors: AMATYC SML Competition (math contest) -> second for 2015/2016 and first for 2016/2017 (only in my college), dean list for 3 semesters (probably for the fourth too), will receive math/physics/computer science accomplishment awards by the end of this semester
More: Also a member of my cc stem program, and a tutor for math and physics, international student

Rejected by UCLA (possibly due to a lack of one required physics class)
Accepted: UCSD, UCI, UCSB, U of T

Anyone could help me with my question? And do I still have a chance to my dream school?

@plsacceptmeUCs Me too!! Some familiar faces (or usernames) in the new crowd of bears :slight_smile:

@bigvoot I am considering attending the new student recpetion in pasadena (they’re in various locations) and i scheduled a new admit tour on the 27th. what are you thinking of doing?

Is anyone else having touble making a bMail account and completing some of the other steps? I submited SIR but the payment was a check that hasn’t gone through yet. Could this be the reason?

Accepted to Berkeley
4.00 GPA
All major prereqs completed
Full-time job

Welcome news after UCLA’s rejecton, to say the least… I think UCLA rejected me becuase I missed a single prereq course (fulfillable with some stupid biology course). I’m proud to go to a school who has actually shown that they value me, so Berkeley it is.

Is anybody having issues with getting a confirmation mail from trying to join the Berkeley community/group on Facebook? I checked my spam email and everything.

@mightyMETA CONGRATS DUDE!!

Accepted!!

Overall & Major GPA: 3.94
Major: Economics
IGETC: Completed by Spring 2017
Major prep: missing one, completed during Winter 2017
Essays: Decent, nothing dramatic
EC: Internships at 2 student body gov, the rest are from my high school days.

Accepted: UCI, UCD, UCSB, UCSD, UCB
Rejected: UCLA for Bus. Econ :frowning: I was SO upset lol

I haven’t submitted my SIR yet because of some issues.

  1. Do you think it is okay to change non-major prereq planned coursework (a poli class) even though it was on my admission conditions?
  2. I am an international student and my english proficiency test expired a while ago (after I submitted my application). Do you think they'll let me retake the exam if I can do so before the SIR deadline? Actually I've attended a high school under the national Australian curriculum (even though my country was not an english-speaking country), I hope they can consider this fact!

I hope they won’t rescind my admission decision :frowning:

Congrats to newly admitted students!

@rosedarling123 Can i ask whats ur major gpa? : )

UCLA here i come!!! lol

Currently from LMC CC…any other soc majors/LMC peeps?!

UCB is my #1 but I may go check out UCLA as well…will see.

Congrats everyone!!!

Has anyone been rescinded for dropping their course work mid-semester or rescheduling Spring semester?

@laccstudent this is what I’m trying to find out

Did you apply to EECS or CS B.A. @AkumaShokan ? If you applied to B.A., did you take the physics series? And what classes are you in rn in the Spring?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m applying this upcoming fall lol

@elcaminocs Congrats! I see you got into UCB L&S and UCLA, did you take the entire Physics series and Calc 3 to meet UCLAs requirements?

Is there a best way for OOS students to check the pre-requisites?
