fr dm me if you need help 
or someone to rant to. which is really all that can be done at this point hahah
my biggest piece of advice is, you guys have done your part now, this is gonna sound crazy but take it easy. get a hobby, take on a personal project, pick up extra hours of work, if ur loaded go travel or something; anything to take your mind off of what is to come!
I’m kinda new to this so idk if this will all make sense…

I saw your stats and they are perfect. I think you have a really good shot at Berkeley. Best of luck
@Blonded1 Your stats are impressive too, and wow calc 3 and linear at the same time! We should link up if we become future econ majors! Best of luck to you as well.
@flaminhaute Omg! You’re awesome lol! What’s the best on campus housing for transfers to meet other transfers?
@CalBear1998 there’s transfer specific housing in martinez commons, which is an all around awesome building also from my experience transfers tend to be somewhat grouped together in on campus housing-- one of my friends lives in unit 3 and her floor is like 99% transfers!
@flaminhaute Wow I’d love to get placed there for housing! How hard is it to get housing as a transfer? Any tips?

I am from Texas and was wondering if transferring from out of state will lower my chances of acceptance? This is my biggest concern…
Thanks so much in advance!
I honestly don’t know. I wish there was some sort of explanation from admissions.
@CalBear1998 Hi, your stats are very impressive! I also applied to USC Marshall. May I ask if you include both LOR for academic and professional? I am a little concern since I only have one.
Wish you best of luck!
Hi! Yes I had 2 letters of recommendations! Good luck to you as well!
@Justkeem i think you’ll be fine!!
@whostolemycookie it’s the leadership award from the california alumni association; youll be invited to apply for it in the upcoming weeks.
@flaminhaute do you know how competitive it is to get admitted to berkeley as a bio major? Like what is the minimum GPA for ppl that got accepted, if you happen to know?
