UC Berkeley 2017 Transfer Thread

Also has anyone with CalNet credentials tried to login to the housing application page? Might be a good way to dig deeper into the “admission tricks”

Currently waiting on admission decisions. I think I have a really good shot, but I think the worst dilemma will be deciding whether or not I want to stay in the bay area and go to Cal or enjoy myself at sunny UCLA (I got in yesterday)!!

@rootcause what’s your intended major?

@eel314 I applied as stats, but I’ll be switching over to either pure/applied math with intent to push for grad school and getting a double in CS if possible.

So uh, how do appeals to Cal work?

Hey guys so I’ve been reading this chat for the past week and decided to join in. Has anyone checked your cal grants? because I just saw mine and was awarded an amount for Berkeley…

@ucvalerieames how do you check that?

@ucvalerieames nah, that’s been there for a while now. It just means you chose berkeley as your primary target. They send that amount to Berkeley’s financial aid office so in the case that you are accepted, Berkeley has that info they can work with. It has nothing to do with admission.

I only have 3 notifications.

@williamyang oh okay, yeah I was wondering why it didn’t say anything about the other schools I was accepted to.
On a side note, I also have 4 addresses under my map @ Berkeley

I have four adresses on MAP too. IDK if it’s a glich or what.

Addresses aren’t the main thing. I think it’s all dependant on having that notification on Cal central.

Though this is all speculation.

@amunroeee do you see these? imgur. com/9RLLE8o

so how many notifications are people getting? I have the new admit one and it wasn’t there about a week ago cue shmoney and quite a few other notifications.

New admit is the one that only some people have. That’s the one that matters. If any do.

is everyone seeing these notifications through cal net?
