UC- Berkeley for non-California Resident

Transfer Students
1

<p>What are the admissions requirements for a non-California resident? I'm a rising Sophomore at a private 4-year University in Massachussets.</p>

<p>I've tried finding this information myself, but most websites cater to california community college students.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Better yet, what is the acceptence rate for non-California students and how do you become an instate student?</p>

<p>to be considered a california resident, i belive you must live in california for the past 2 years. acceptance rates for non-california residents tend to be very low. i am guessing around 16% or so.</p>

<p>I realize that this is a boring topic, but can someone please answer my original question?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>the admission requirements are exactly the same as in state residents. also, you must declare a major and fulfill all the major's req...</p>

<p>UC campuses generally require that transfers have completed 60 transferable semester units, usually those that satisfy the general education requirements. UC Berkeley does not accept lower division transfers. As with most UC campuses, Cal turns away prospective transfers with over 90 semester units. Courses that count towards your major, especially towards the requirements to declare are expected; the more you have completed, the better prepared you will be upon entrance. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.assist.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.assist.org&lt;/a> helps students from California colleges (mainly community colleges) decide which courses are and are not transferable towards general ed and department specific requirements. If you are from out-of-state, it is up to you to talk to counselors and university reps in order to decide if you are taking the right classes. Check course books and guides to check the similarities between courses offered at your own school, and those at Berkeley.</p>

<p>Getting accepted from out-of-state is generally pretty difficult, so make sure you have obtained a great amount of information regarding the transition between schools. Get in touch with Berkeley directly, as I am sure they will have more information to offer you.</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>
