UC Berkeley Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

@ohmm888 ahhhhhh that makes me to debate even more lol
I’m first gen immigrant Asian, so little afraid of leaving California and settling in NC where there’s fewer Asians, but again, I want to live in East cost because my dream job is working in the State department or DOJ…

@mochicheese I can’t say for sure how stern Cal is with prereqs (I’ve heard varying opinions), but if you do get rejected, you can submit an appeal with the new class info. I’ve heard the most successful kind of appeal is one that corrects missing units or classes. Good luck!

What time does the decision usually get released??

good luck guys!! i will be on a 10 hour flight all day, so i probably won’t see my decision until tomorrow ahhhh

@Jiminlovee check out the UC Berkeley admissions twitter (I dont have a twitter but it’s open so anyone can see the posts) they will post there when the decisions are released. You will also receive an email when to check your admission status.
So mostly trying to keep everybody in the dark until then, but in previous years they release their decisions at around 3-5 PM, but this year Berkeley is steering away from previous traditions, so I honestly can’t tell you when… just be patient and try to relax. I know I have become a bit obsessed and check my email and my Berkeley portal like every hour… dont do that please, it is damaging to your mental health

Thank you so much :slight_smile: So nervous haha good luck everyone !

@mochicheese I almost switched out of media studies and into IS. This was after I was accepted, though. I only had one of the pre-reqs done and was going to do second at Cal. That was okay. While it’s not quite the same thing, my feeling was they care more about the path you want to pursue and GPA rather than that one course.

Just spoke with someone from UC Berkeley Undergraduate Admissions through the phone and she said it would be coming out at/after 5:00 PM. I have a feeling it will be between 3 and 5 though.

The twitter account just said that decisions will arrive before 11:59 PST, so that is strange.

What happens if you don’t submit the supplemental forms by January 31st? My friend forgot to send them, and ended up never sending them. Also, what even are the supplemental forms?

Pm or am? Will make sense if they meant 11:59 pm

@boblmao1 If your friend applied to Letters and Sciences, the supplemental forms were to indicate how you would fulfill the general education requirements.

So that basically means he’s automatically rejected? I understand.

Transfer decisions will be released sometime today before 11:59pm PST. Applicants will receive an email indicating to check their MAP@Berkeley portal for their official decision. We will also post here when decisions are out. Until then, thank you and good luck, everyone!

@Lin_2016 Your’re right, it was pm. My bad.

@Ohm888 thanks for the reply!! so if I understand it correctly, you just have one pre reqs done out of…?

I did not even know they required supplemental forms for all majors…

i applied to berkeley as a computer science major. am i able to change my major if i get accepted? i’m reconsidering going into that major at berkeley.

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!! NO MATTER WHO GETS IN OR NOT, ITS IMPORTANT THAT WE RECOGNIZE HOW WE ALL WORKED HARD AND FOR REALS GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!! <3

Ucla just send me their Regents Scholarship invite and to fill out the application for it. Do you know if there’s a supplemental app for Cal Regents Scholarship? @Ohm888
