UC Berkeley Fall 2020: Transfer Thread

@nontraditional my conditional admisison didnt list tht planned class yesterday but today it does, im confused.

hey everyone!

i was recently admitted under sociology! i am interested in joining a group chat/page so we can connect and get to know each other. i know that recent posts including links/ig usernames were recently deleted but if anyone has anyway of letting me know or message me where i can find y’all i’d love to know :slight_smile: thank you and congrats!!

I didn’t meet the conditions of admission (I did an exceptional withdrawal from a class because I didn’t have the technology to complete it online) and withdrew my application Friday evening. So, I’m 100% out of the running for the 2020/21 school year. I just want to make sure I’m doing what I can to still be competitive when I apply again.

There is an official facebook group that you can join. If you search ā€œUC Berkeley Transfer Class of 2022 (Official)ā€ you should be able to find it. Someone also linked a GroupMe chat on there that you could check out.

i wasn’t able to find it! do you mind messaging me the link if possible? thank you :slight_smile:

@littlelu22 I tried sending you a private message, hopefully you got it

@anishtheind I also got into UCSC CS and Berkeley undeclared! I’m not sure what I’m leaning towards tbh. My friends at Berkeley tell me it’s getting harder to get into what you want

@uctransfer2020 do you mind sending me the link also? Thanks!

For anyone concerned about dropping a class, I emailed admissions a week before admission decisions came out and they told me if the class I am dropping isn’t needed for units, my major, or IGETC then I can drop it without it affecting my admission decision

@uctransfer2020 may i also get the link as well?

Does this mean we only have to finish the courses listed? Or finish every planned and in-progress courses… What’s the point of the course list?

Can we pin this other threads are spammed as well

Hello all, I applied as a bio major and got in, but will be rescinding my admission Wednesday if I get into UCSB, so there should be one more spot for those of you waitlisted!
Major: Genetics/ Plant Biology
GPA: 3.83
Honors: hell no
EC: 100s of volunteer hours, club, worked part-time

Honestly I just think I had strong essays, idk

This is the only acceptance I’ve received so hard to tell. I’m 35 and have 3 kids which I think boosted me in many ways financially and with the admissions.

@dwightv, Data Science seems pretty easy to declare. There’s no gpa requirement, just have to pass all the pre-reqs

MODERATOR’S NOTE: Race in admissions is not a permissible topic of discussion. I deleted quite a few posts. Please move on.

hi! I was just wondering if Cal is going to send us a physical package and acceptance letter or we have to SIR first?

I SIRd and completed all my tasks but out of the blue my cal central account says my application was withdrawn.

Needless to say I’m freaking out right now.

Has this happened to anyone?

Could it be a glitch?

Does anyone have a number for Berkeley which doesn’t go to voicemail?

??? Thank you

@anishtheind really? my friends told me it’s one of the most popular majors at berkeley now. don’t be fooled by the GPA cutoff.

Either way I’m definitely opting for another UC simply because I’m waaayyyyy more interested in CS and don’t want to pursue a graduate degree in Data Science.
