Transfer decisions for Berkeley are confirmed to be released on April 23rd. This is quoted from the latest UC Berkeley Counselor Bulletin (select March 23 from the drop-down menu):
As we get closer to our Freshman decision release on Thursday, March 25, we wanted to provide you with a few details regarding what students can expect. We hope that this information will be useful to you as your students may have questions about their admission decision. We’ll send out similar information next month before we release Transfer decisions, which will be on Friday, April 23.
By the looks of it, all decisions are to be released on April 23rd, rather than in a rolling fashion.

Just wondering- has anyone received emails from Berkeley? Like every other Uc has sent some sort of admissions emails, about campus life, or transfer experience. Even UCLA has. But, it’s been pretty silent from Berk. I was just wondering if emails have been sent out that I wasn’t getting.
if you check under account tools in your portal, you will see a withdraw application button, it should take you to another page with a message. according to the freshmen c/o 2025, there were three different messages on the waitlist page that indicated whether or not they got in. i think if your waitlist page says “unauthorized”=rejection, “i wish to withdraw my application from further consideration”=waitlist, “i will not come to berkeley”=acceptance. according to the freshies, it seemed like the messages correctly correlated to their admission decisions but it’s still too early to tell for us because their messages only came in a couple of days prior to admissions decision releases
Hi there transfer gang!! Hope all is well. I applied to like 8 UCs last year but only got into 1 lolll, UCLA is my DREAM!!! So I decided to give it a 2nd try

State (if domestic applicant): In-State School Type: Fullerton College (CC) Income Bracket: Middle class
Strengths: Have a lot of ECs and awards, second time applying to UC, more experienced.
Weaknesses:
I think my gpa for my major is too low, (for econ GPA range is 3.83-4.0) it is tooooo competitive. Since I am a one-year transfer most of my transfer Units come from the APs I took in HS (about 32 units), and due to the short time period I have until transfer, I really don’t have time to take much class to build up my GPA. In fact, I only have one B on my transcript but the total classes I took are not enough to sort of average it out ughhhh.
I didn’t get TAP certified because I literally don’t have enough time to complete the honor’s program.
Also due to the pandemic, I don’t really have any cc college experience to talk about…
I heard that we have double the amount of transfer applicants this year compared to last year so… fingers crossed
Schools Applied: UCLA,UCB,UCSD,UCI(TAG)
BEST OF LUCK for everyone!!! Last year was really a mess and we tried our best to survive, now we are almost there, we deserve what we put in! No matter what the outcome is, I am so proud of ALL OF YOU!!
Anyone can see the “Transfer Credit” section on the Calnet “my academics” section? I took summer course at ucb and I guess this is the first time I see this menu.
I was about to take a summer class at UCB a couple years ago but never ended up taking it. I set up a calnet account at the time, which seems to have expired because I can’t reset my password which I don’t remember anymore or login to calnet. Though I can still login to CalCentral and see an empty dashboard.
