UC Berkeley 2017 Transfer Thread

I completed my housing application, but it still shows up in the uncompleted column. And that’s making me feel uncomfortable 3:-O

@mightyMETA it took mine about a day to become “complete”. You should be fine.

Have anyones AP scores been moved to the “complete” section yet?

@TL0067 Still marked as “Initiated” for me, and I requested them on April 28. I opened a case 5 days ago to ask about the AP scores, but I haven’t heard anything back.

@aymc1104 yeah, two people on the UC Transfers facebook group posted that they had gotten notifications about being awarded regents in their calcentral on the 19th.

@plsacceptmeUCs same story here, I requested mine in april as well and they still say initiated. Im guessing thats probably what is says for everybody then.

Just curiosity. If I am living off campus, I don’t have to apply for housing right? Or is applying for housing mandatory regardless? Thank you.

Hello everyone!

:warning::bangbang: PLEASE HELP

I was recently admitted to UC Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science for Fall 2017. I am transferring from a California Community College.
I was recently informed that my IGETC certification could not be filed as completed because I do not satisfy the Mathematics (Area 2) requirement.

HOWEVER, on my community college’s IGETC requirements PDF page, it does list PSYC 7 (stats for behavioral science) as a mathematics fulfillment… which I took/passed.

On Assist.org, it seems as though that class does not transfer to UC Berkeley. Somebody PLEASE HELP and suggest what I should do. I know it’s a four day weekend so the offices are closed but I am extremely overwhelmed by this.

I understand that it is my negligence for not following up on Assist.org but I have also heard that Assist is not always accurate.
Please please please let me know and thank you so much for your time!

I answered this in the other thread where you posted it.

@Ohm888 Excuse me ma’am, which shops in Berkeley would you recommend one visit in order to get the highest quality Cal gear possible (including clothing, key chains, and novelty chocolate medallions)? My goal is to wear so much Cal gear at any one time that anyone I meet feels an overwhelming sense of social pressure to ask me if I’m a Cal student

There’s a store on campus, one on shattuck and online.

@mightyMETA
IMO, the best store is the one on the southwest corner of telegraph/durant

Did anyone else’s financial aid drop out of nowhere? I’m all of a sudden left to pay for twice what I originally had to and I’m starting to worry… :frowning:

@zellet132
Mine did too

Hey guys, I ended up SIR’ing to UC San Diego. Best of luck to all of you! Cal is going to be a better place with you all there!

YES! My “gift aid” went from 23K to 3K and Idk if its a glitch (bc Berkeley’s websites f***** suck) or if they really switched up like that. Tried calling but phone lines are all busy. Please let me know if you get any updates :(!

SLR HELP PLEASE!

So I did a 4 month long internship program in Florida at Disney World this past Spring 2017 semester. I need to submit my SLR by tomorrow and there is a question about whether or not I have been physically present in the state for the past 3 years. Obviously the answer to that question is no, but does anyone know if this will affect anything in terms of my residency and/or tuition costs? I have lived in CA my entire life, including when I applied for school and have never taken classes outside of the state. I am also back in CA now and will not be living somewhere else for a while. Anyone know anyone with a similar situation or can give me some sort of an answer?

@californiannnnnnnnnnnn I’m a CA resident but I’ve been living in Australia since January, and I was still declared in-state. I don’t think you should be worried, as long as you explain your absence in the space provided.

@itsromeosuckaa Hey! Im deciding between UCSD and Cal what made you choose SD?

Were you told after you put that you have been living in australia that your residency was still fine? Did you receieve any aid, if so did it your declaration affect any of that?
