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 yā€™all iā€™d love to know :slight_smile: thank you and congrats!!

I didnā€™t meet the conditions of admission (I did an exceptional withdrawal from a class because I didnā€™t have the technology to complete it online) and withdrew my application Friday evening. So, Iā€™m 100% out of the running for the 2020/21 school year. I just want to make sure Iā€™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 wasnā€™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! Iā€™m not sure what Iā€™m leaning towards tbh. My friends at Berkeley tell me itā€™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 isnā€™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 coursesā€¦ Whatā€™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 Iā€™ve received so hard to tell. Iā€™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. Thereā€™s no gpa requirement, just have to pass all the pre-reqs

MODERATORā€™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 Iā€™m freaking out right now.

Has this happened to anyone?

Could it be a glitch?

Does anyone have a number for Berkeley which doesnā€™t go to voicemail?

??? Thank you

@anishtheind really? my friends told me itā€™s one of the most popular majors at berkeley now. donā€™t be fooled by the GPA cutoff.

Either way Iā€™m definitely opting for another UC simply because Iā€™m waaayyyyy more interested in CS and donā€™t want to pursue a graduate degree in Data Science.
