UC Berkeley Fall 2020: Transfer Thread

Serious question… Not trying to flex just flabbergasted.

They offered me like $40k under grants and gifts and scholarships or whatever. No loans…

Is this for real? Like guaranteed if I supply the documentation that matches what I submitted?

They didn’t answer the phone and this really makes or break my decision.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated
… Thx

Thank you!

Hey guys, seems like ig only allows 32 ppl in a gc, we comin up on that limit?. We can make another ig gc tho if u guys want or maybe one on snap?? Drop y’all @s below for whichever!

I’ll p.m. you my username on Instagram! I think it’d be a good idea if we could find some place that could hold a larger group, it seems like a few other people were interested last night and this thread is fast moving!

True? dm me this, @—

You should not have withdrawn your application until talking to an academic counselor about you only having 59 units after dropping a class.

CSU’s just issued an advisement that due to coronavirus, they are lowering the 60 semester unit requirement to 48 units. UC’s may follow after this.

Congrats all

yes, don worry about it, as long as you submit all the information they want, you can get all the funds They offer you

First off Congrats to all who were accepted! As a parent, I know how hard you all worked!

My daughter was accepted yesterday ( POLY Sci) and UCB has been her dream school since she was 10. My question is about the best way to tackle housing? I have heard it is hard to obtain. She is 18 but will be transferring as a Junior.

Is there a group page for people in search or parents looking for options? Thank you in advance!
