I’m planning to take a summer course at my cc that’s not one of the pre requisites for my major
Do I have to let them know in this case? I’m taking it for my premed pre requisites since I’m a non-bio major
Do we also have to send our high school transcripts to uc berkeley?
Yes ask permission.
You only have to send hs transcripts if they asked for them. Check your provisional/to do list on portal.
Does anyone know when the transfer housing is released? I submitted mine several weeks ago. It would be nice to know where I will be living because all of those that I applied to are all different in prices
Hey all, here is my stats wrap-up to make it easier for future applicants to find.
Current college: Community College (CA)
Major: Anthro & Environmental Policy
No SAT/ACT
College GPA: 4.0 (completed college honors, TAP for UCLA, IGETC, etc)
US/Intl: US (immigrant - dual citizenship)
ECs: PTK Pres, Published, Presented research, Non-Trad, Parent, State-level policy work, loads of volunteer work, UCLA CCCP, UCB TAP, UCB SPMP, very involved on my campus and in my community.
Applied for FA: Yes (Best FA Offers were from Berkeley, Brown, and Williams, worst were Cal State and UCLA)
Applied to: Cal State, UCSC, UCB, UCLA, Amherst, Brown, Swarthmore, Williams, Yale
Accepted: All except Swarthmore (Waitlisted)
Attending: 99% certain it’ll be Williams
Comments: I had my essays checked for grammar and clarity but resisted changes to content because I felt that it was more important that I represented myself accurately than that I changed what I focused on to fit within the box the transfer advisors expected. I felt that it was better to be rejected for who I am than accepted for someone I am not; this worked out well for me. I am in my mid-thirties with a teenage daughter, I immigrated to the US in my twenties, my husband and I are transferring together and got into all of the same colleges. I have a couple of decades of work experience outside of my field and have traveled extensively. I think that this breadth of experience contributed to our unexpected success across the various types of colleges to which we chose to apply.
Does anyone know when we’ll be able to start applying for classes?
Transfers can register for Fall 2019 classes beginning sometime in the second or third week of July, if I am not mistaken.
@RainbowBritey Which CSU did you apply to?
Is anyone doing the transfer edge program over the summer? If so, how did you know which classes to sign up for/ how they related to your major? Thanks
@Blonded1, Enrollment/Registration for Fall 2019 classes begins on July 22. You may peruse the class schedules via the course catalog, academic guide, or berkeleytime until then.
@Art3mis101, this link (http://guide.berkeley.edu/undergraduate/degree-programs/) has a list of course requirements for every major and minor. Cross-reference against summer program offerings.
In my cal central, it says the due date for submitting the college E-transcript is 7/1. Does this mean that I can submit my transcripts (through fall 2018) by 7/1? Because I thought the deadline was June 1??
And my MapBerkeley portal states “Immediately submit Official Full UC IGETC Certification” without specifying any due date. Does anyone know when the due date is? Fyi I got admitted to the College of Chemistry in case the due date differs by college.
Also, I went to high school in another country and from what I see in my Cal central, they didn’t request me to submit my high school transcripts. So would it be okay to not send them my high school transcript if they didn’t request it through cal central?
When is the deadline to apply for the transfer edge program for the summer? I might SIR right on 6/1 will that be too late to apply for the transfer edge program?
IGETC due date is July 15. UCLA is the only UC that wants that first part of transcript through fall postmarked by June 1.
Hey guys, have any of you sent in your AP scores, IB scores, transcripts, etc yet? I sent mine in a couple of weeks back but the tasks for them on my calcentral have not been marked as completed yet. Do any of you guys know how long it takes for the tasks to clear or show as completed?
Yep, sent my transcript 3+ weeks ago and my task on my cal central dashboard says “being processed” Hey Blonded1, maybe they are taking a second look at our transcripts and are considering pulling their admission offer huh?
@Fsswim1
I don’t think it’s because they’re pulling our admissions. Is there something on your transcripts that you think would make them decline your offer for admissions?
@Blonded1 Nah, I was just trying to freak you out 
Congrats to everyone who has been accepted thus far! I was a transfer this past year so if anyone has any questions I would be more than happy to answer them.
Hey guys,
I’m pulling my hair because I’m getting C on one of my class. And it is likely that I will end up with C for that class. I will have higher GPA than 3.0 but is having a C affect my admission?
The terms of admissions says no individual grade lower than C
@Riotseason From my understanding, a C is good enough. Anything lower would be failing and not completing the course, so I think they are just trying to make sure you passed your said classes.
@QueenA101 Thank you for being open to answer questions.
What are the top 2 things you are glad you did your first year as a transfer student?
and what 2 things would you do differently?
Also what was your living situation-did you apply for housing or live off campus?
