UC Berkeley Fall 2020: Transfer Waitlist Thread

Hi, guys figured I would make a thread for those waitlisted. I know stats last year were not hot but figured circumstances may change with everything going on.

Waitlisted
Major: Pure mathematics
GPA: 3.62
I screwed up my physics in the winter quarter. BYE BYE Berkeley

Waitlisted :frowning:
Major: Molecular & Cell Biology
GPA: 3.84

Waitlisted
Major: Computer Science
GPA: 3.75

Good luck guys. Wish I had at least made the waitlist. 3.94 rejected from EECS.

Global Studies 3.63 Gpa Waitlisted

3.5 GPA Cog Sci waitlist, my essays, and ECs are extremely unique though. last year Berkeley took very very little students off the waitlist hoping this year with everything going on may decrease yield rate.

Waitlisted - Physics - 3.82
Currently, a Physics Major at UCI and that’s probably got something to do with it
Anybody found Waitlist statistics yet?

Waitlisted.
4.0 English Major

I was missing two major courses but it was stated “take as many as you can,” they weren’t technically required. Berkeley was the only school that wanted them so I didn’t want to take them lol

Waitlisted
Major: Media Studies
GPA: 4.0
2 Honor Societies, 2 Internships, 2 on campus media-related positions - my application was more focused on Communications because that the major I applied for at other UC’s and I’m missing one prereq

@108Degrees any suggestions? I’m a cog sci major, I’m sure what to expand upon from my essays.

@user_406650 Last year waitlist stats were disgustingly bad because they over-enrolled. Although this year I think they will take more as many students will reconsider attending due to uncertainty especially OOS and international students. Many students don’t want to pay 10s of thousands for an online school.

Got waitlisted as CS with a 3.2 gpa haha. Kinda surprised I didn’t get denied outright but chances are pretty much 0 anyways
