UC Berkeley 2017 Transfer Thread

@amunroeee did you SIR yet?

So I got rejected by UCSD and I appealed the rejection by saying “if I can get into UC Berkeley, I can get into here too”. They overturned the decision and accepted me. So thanks Cal! Your prestige over the neighboring UC’s and their utter jealousy allowed me to overturn a rejection! Lol!

@itsromeosuckaa do you even want to go to UCSD? B/c appealing, getting accepted, then not SIR’ing to that school takes away someone else’s chance at getting into that school…

I got an email from Bridges with transportation information!! But no email saying I was accepted/formal invite, nor did they tell me what to prepare for or pack :o

Wasn’t accepted to bridges and just got a notification. If you got transportation info, I assume you’re going, have fun!

@futurelawyer88

Hmm same situation here. Got transportation info but no formal invite! Guessing were in though?

@LynAmmo Thank you so much! I’m sorry if that posted sounded a bit negative toward UCLA; they’re both basically equally good schools in my book. I’m usually not the person to let my emotions get the better of me, but that UCLA rejection hurt me really badly.

Congratulations on being the new queen of UCLA :slight_smile:

@FaithGraceUC That means so much to me; I’ve grown to respect and care for so many of you guys in these threads. That rejection hurt, but I understand that UCLA has a philosophy that places heavy emphasis on prereqs (and I was missing one, and taking my last English class during the final spring semester).

I’ll be studying real analysis, abstract algebra and logic in a state of bliss bordering on euphoria these next few months, so all’s well that ends well ;D

@goldencub I would love to Mr. Cub! You’ve shown me support throughout this entire process; let me buy you lunch once I get a car and truck on up there :slight_smile:

@doihaveashot2016 Dude, talk to the professors of the classes you dropped and ask them to give you an add slip. In my foolish despair, I had dropped two courses as well but both my professors added me back after I explained the situation. There’s always a way, good luck man!

@zellet132 Try to add the other course back; I’ve found professors are really forgiving with granting add slips late into the semester for situations like this. It’s not the time to panic yet; the error’s so insignificant that I can’t personally see how it would affect your admission status. Try your best to contact them and to add the previous course back.

@ucvalerieames Yes I did!

how did you all find out if you got into the bridges weekend?

@mightyMETA That’s nice of you! I don’t think I can accept that, but I’m definitely down to grab lunch with you.

@champagnemami

I received an email from “Transfer Weekend” with transportation info

Oh just saw mine and I didn’t get it. Oh well, have fun, everyone!
