UC Berkeley Fall 2020: Transfer Thread

All you guys have 4.0s I’m here with a 3.5 lmaoooo. I have good reasoning though I took classes when I was 13 and they count towards my GPA unfortunately. Also have been working 60+ hour weeks since 16(Im 18 now) after my dad started suffering from major health issues. I have great essays and ECs ex/ creating software to take advantage of Instagram algorithm to gain hundreds of thousands of followers. Using scripts built from python and selenium. Last 1.5 years I have maintained straight A’s though so definitely an upward trend.

Ahhh I’m so nervous everyone… Good luck!

does UCB send an email?

I’m so nervous :frowning:

People on here who have CalCentral have been cross-enrolled to Cal. If you never have, it doesn’t apply to you. And it’s not a bad sign.

@“UCLA22CogSci/LINGCS” I have a 3.4 and I applied for economics. my major gpa was around a 3.4 too.

@subwooferlullaby I took summer session courses.

@“UCLA22CogSci/LINGCS” what you lack in letter grades, you make up in ECs! I have the “grades” but literally no ECs haha

Each email alert I get I literally flinch and check it but it’s not out yet ahh

@rt0784 they said they would be sending an email to notify you to check the portal

@Pepsi1022 @tyler25419 I hope they realize that in 10th grade I had a 1500/1520 SAT and 3 Ap scores of all 5’s. If I had the time of a student who didn’t have to help my family out with paying bills among a lot of other responsibilities I know for sure my GPA would reflect that. I have actually tutored several students locally who ended up at CAL. I know GPA isn’t everything but with transfers IK its the biggest factor for schools.

for anyone curious heres proof.

Hey guys, if you haven’t enrolled in summer courses or UCB extension before, you won’t have a CalCentral yet. It’s meaningless and not indicative of an acceptance or rejection.

even if i were to be accepted i still don’t think i’d go to cal lmao but my dumb ego is now invested

So I’m guessing the decisions aren’t released all at once? bc some people already got accepted and rejected?

I feel like all the UC’s already have their results set and stone, they should just release them all on the same day :frowning:
