@TL0067 Breadth courses? If so, breadth courses must be completed to graduate.
Major: Business Administration
Current College/University: CCC
IGETC: Yes. Done by this Spring
Major Prep: Yes. Done by this Spring
GPA: 4.00
College ECs: Internship with school’s accounting dept. Honors Program. Limited ECs unfortunately.
Highschool ECs: Band etcetc
I will completed 64 semesters by this spring in three semesters+summer school. I took 19-20 units every semester so I didnt have time for ECs and wouldnt know what to do actually.
In-State, Out-of-State: In-State
Chance me maybe? :o
@babybear232 You’re definitely competitive but hard to say much more beyond that since the acceptance rate is so low for Haas. The lack of EC’s doesn’t help (and HS is irrelevant), but having a 4.0 and a high unit count might make up for that.
Hey everyone. I’m filling out the MAP@Berkeley form that has to do with IGETC and the very first class to input is English Communication. I took English 1A & 1B. Are they looking for those two classes or a communications class? I thought that the UCs don’t require that you take communications classes. Thank you.
Anyone else at all applied to CED?
@briank82 Thanks, and yes thats what I meant. Do you know what breadth courses are needed to graduate that aren’t satisfied by IGETC?
@TL0067 I’m not sure. I didn’t need IGETC so I didn’t look into it very much. Explore assist.org and you’ll likely find answers to what you’re asking.
Get as much breadth requirements done before transfer though, it’ll give you a lot more flexibility in your scheduling once you get to Cal if you’re accepted.
I’m not clear on the question exactly, but if you are applying to Berkeley and doing IGETC, I believe Cal only accepts full IGETC and it must be completed by spring.
Hello I am trying to take math 54 this semester with James Sethian and it says the class is in the Pauley Ballroom. Is this accurate? Because how can that room fit 500+ students? Thanks
@wilsonusopen Wrong thread.
Hello everyone! 
I would like for you all to chance me.

I’m too lazy to state everything else but basically all of my sections are full lol.
I feel as if my personal insight responses were pretty strong, went over them various times with an admissions reader helping me through the process.
Here’s to waiting until April 28th! Go Bears!
Shay, I’m currently going through the same process for your first question. My counselor just emailed me saying to list it in the first field only and click I completed the lab with my four units. I’m going to submit my form soon and let you know if that works.
@Lovelyyliz, You’re pretty much guaranteed to be in. Unless you insulted the school in your personal statement there’s no reason for them to reject you. Your grades and EC’s easily put you in the top percentile of Political Science applicants and in the top percentile of applicants in general. I think you should have an extremely strong chance of attaining a regents scholarship.
Does anyone know what kind of stats/ECs it usually takes to earn Regents?
@Orangered123 I’m really hoping that I do get accepted! It’s my dream school. I very highly doubt that I insulted UC Berkeley in my personal statements so there’s that haha. I was working with an admissions reader for UC Berkeley on my personal insight responses so hopefully that makes them stand out as well. I feel that they are very strong. Crossing my fingers for the regents scholarship, but not getting my hopes up!
@Ryan1812 Wow. You and I have basically the same resume, other than that I was a Math tutor as well, and did some Community service stuff. I was actually also thinking of taking a gap year, but thought otherwise. I talked to a UCB admin lady, and she said that you apply for the “Deferral year” after you get into the school. So, it won’t have any effect on your application as long as you didn’t imply you were going to take a gap year in the application. But good luck
PLEASE CHANCE ME!!!
Hello,
I was just wondering if you guys could give me a guess at my chances at transferring to a UC.
Applied: UCB, UCSD, UCLA
Major: Computer Science (CS L&S for Berkeley)
UC Transferable GPA: 4.0
Completion of Major Prerequisites? (Y/N): Y (At least all that was offered at my college)
Completion of IGETC or other GE requirements?: not IGETC, but finished the general breadth req.
Extracurriculars & Honors/Awards: President of the Computer Science Club,
Tutor at my colleges Math Lab.
Went to several hackathons and placed in a couple.
Community service by coaching a First Lego League Robotics team.
I am an eagle scout.
Dean’s honor list.
Qualified and placed in several High School math competitions.
SI tutor (basically TA in a CS class)
CS Tutor
Private math tutoring
However, the things is, I am only 16 years old, and applying for transfer since I took the required amount of units to transfer. Will my age be a limiting factor for the UCs decision? I am worried all three colleges I applied to will all refuse me because of my age and the lack of experience. It would be great to get your opinion!
Thanks for reading this.
@Ciceroo @ssnewman Probably a little late response, but if you google Maps@berkeley, and put in your information, it will pop up on the page.
@annbern For most UCs, they ask for them right before or right after they accept you. BTW, is anybody applying to Private schools?
Hey guys, I’m a first year student at a California CC with some transfer questions about my future academic performance. My current stats:
Intended major: EECS
GPA: 4.0 (first semester)
ECs: Math tutor, personally create browser plugins
Major prep: Planning to take all required and articulated recommended courses
My questions:
- How does Berkeley weigh ECs compared to GPA?
College counselors and Berkeley reps told me that so long as you have nearly perfect GPA, ECs aren’t important and only show your interest in the major. On the other hand, my peers and many of the transfer profiles on this site have 4 or 5 president positions, internships and whatnot. Are the reps downplaying ECs or is having that many ECs overkill?
- How important is completing non-required courses from ASSIST.org?
There is a “Strongly Recommended Courses” section on the EECS articulation agreement. I’m planning to complete all the articulated courses in that section (I’ll need them to apply to transfer to other UCs anyways), but there are a few (namely CS 61A and some EE courses) which are not articulated at my current college. I’ve heard that my peers will be applying to other colleges in order to take these courses. Will not taking these non-articulated courses greatly lower my admission chances?
I’m feeling like I missed a memo on transfer performance, but if taking 20ish units a semester and working 15 hours on ECs a week the expectation, I have a lot of work to do. I’d greatly appreciate all input, thanks!
