UC Berkeley Fall 2020: Transfer Thread

Yeah, you have to send your high school transcript and your college transcript(s) if you are going to attend

ADMITTED!!!
omg tbh I had no idea I had a chance since I was applying applied math with a 3.60 gpa, but I had all major requirements and GEs done and spent a lot of time on my essays and ECs. Happy for all who got in, and for those who didnā€™t, this is of no indication of your intelligence or hard work.

Admitted: UCR (CS), UCSC (CS), UCI (math, TAG), UCB (applied math)
Waitlisted: UCD (CS)
Pending: UCSD (Math+CS), UCSB (Math), UCLA (math of computation), Cornell, UW

@sleeplessincali Iā€™m psych and got accepted for fall! I had a 4.0 but I think what got me in were my ECā€™s

Accepted!
Political Science / 3.2 GPA
About two years ago I came on to this website to ask about my chances and was repeatedly told no, I shouldnā€™t bother applying. I did another year of cc to give myself the best chance to get in. Just goes to show that anything can happen during the application process!

Waitlisted.
4.0 English Major

I was missing two major courses but it was stated, take as many as you can, and Berkeley was the only school that wanted them so I didnā€™t want to take them lol

Hi guys, I got accepted to the College of Letters and Science for spring, 2021. I am so confused, does it mean we have to go to community college for autumn quarter? Also, in the Conditions of Admissions, it lists classes I planned to take, however, I didnā€™t get chance to take some of the classes? Will it impact my admission?
Thank you

I got admitted to CAL but they are asking for my high school transcript? kind of nervous bc my high school grades was really bad lol I had a 2.5 GPA but could this affect my admission? or can they take it back? sorry if I sound paranoid just making sure LOL (I currently have a 3.7 btw)

Everyone has to send in their high school transcript

Sucks, but we will see what happens. COVID adds a degree of uncertainty that might benefit people on the waitlist, but who knows. Congrats to everyone who got in.

ACCEPTED! 3.86 English Major

Hey guys, if anyone can answer my questions, Iā€™d really appreciate it!
I was not able to continue being in one of my courses that I had stated in my supplemental application for this semester, and I was granted an EW. I couldnā€™t finish due to family issues regarding this pandemic.
Iā€™d still be transferring over with 60 units, and still with a superb GPA. Does anyone know if this will hurt my standing?

Accepted for Biochem!!
Fall 2020
IGETC: Yes

@lolol4565 They arenā€™t going to rescind your admission based on your high school grades, they just need confirmation that you did in fact graduate hs.
