<p>Hello everyone. I am currently a community college (CC) student in Minnesota who is hoping to transfer to UC-Berkeley in fall of 2015. At CC, I am a Mathematics major, and by the time I am finish, I will have taken Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. I would also like to note, when finished (granted I continue to get all A’s), I will have either a 3.86 cumulative GPA or slightly higher. This fall I am going to apply to UC-Berkeley with a 3.79 cumulative GPA and 4.0 technical GPA, do I have a chance at admission? Moreover, can anyone tell me about the Berkeley math department (and if they have an actuarial program)? (I will appreciate any help given.)</p>
<p>I should probably also say I have ADHD. Would this improve my chances of acceptance? In other words, because I have done well in college, despite having a disability, would this improve my chances of admission?<br>
Thank you. </p>
<p>I’m not transferring to Berkeley’s Math department, but here are some admission statistics from this year:</p>
<p>*****L&S: Mathematical & Physical Sciences
Admits: 285/941
Admit rate: 30.3%
Average GPA: 3.83</p>
<p>“Berkeley gives the highest priority for admission to California community college applicants who have completed all required core Berkeley preparation courses—including courses equivalent to Berkeley’s reading and composition courses—as outlined on ASSIST. Lower priority is given to transfers from other UC campuses, other four-year institutions or non-California community colleges.”</p>
<p>Looks like applied math might have an actuarial option/cluster: <a href=“Course Requirements: Applied Mathematics | Department of Mathematics at University of California Berkeley”>Course Requirements: Applied Mathematics | Department of Mathematics at University of California Berkeley;
<p>Make sure you’re doing as many pre-reqs as you can. Assist.org (pick a random CC and Berkeley) should give you an idea of what you should be taking. As for whether or not you’ll get in… it’s really hard to predict. Berkeley admissions tend to be all over the place, so in many cases it could go either way.</p>
<p>Im in my last quarter at UCLA as a math major at UCLA, however I think I can you offer you some insight about Cal’s math department.</p>
<p>By far the most important thing to keep in mind is that… oops I realized that I don’t have at least a 3.7GPA so my opinion does not matter… sorry to interupt your thread. </p>
<p>Another issue is not all your OOS courses may fulfill UC requirements, even though they have the same name and appear to be the same. The UCs are pretty anal about awarding credit.</p>
