UC Berkeley 2017 Transfer Thread

Does anyone know when the orientation for transfer students is?

Anyone know how to find the advisor that was assigned to you?

@kid1234 congrats, what were your ECs like?

hey guys is there a fb group for transfer students. I’m from s.f. and potentially looking for roomates in berkeley.

@napoleonspirit the fb group is called: UC Berkeley Transfer Class of 2019(Official)

Help please:
Trying to choose between UCSD, UCLA, and Cal for premed. Major is biochem.
Any advice, insight, or suggestions? I know I’m going to work hard wherever I go, but some more input would be appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone been able to see their financial aid yet?

@Aerolyze I will definitely let you all know what they say!

@kors03 the transfer weekend is this weekend, but there is limited spots for it. You should have a notification for it on your Cal Central.

@ericbeige Yup, signed up for it as well! I wonder how they are going to choose participants since there are limited spots.

@champagnemami yup, I’m planning on going to bridges if they accept me for it :slight_smile:

what is transfer edge? Is this required?

@lovelyyliz what do you mean by SIR?

@BondoNekat Did you apply to Haas?

is anyone able to apply for housing or is it like financial aid where those of us who made calcentral accounts for summer classes can’t access it? because i only have the option to select “Summer 2017” under the Application tab on the housing portal.
