UC Berkeley Spring 2020 Transfer Thread

I got accepted at UC Berkeley for Spring 2020! I’m hoping we can talk about housing and school decisions. I’m personally having a hard time deciding whether I should wait or not.

me!!! I am wondering does UCB accept spring transfer students last year? or only this year? btw I am waiting for UCLA and UCSD

@Kthyy I’m pretty sure they’ve been taking spring transfers for the last few (if not many) years too! It’s just not talked about very often?

I also got accepted for spring 2020, im still waiting on ucla but who knows if ill get accepted. im rlly confused bc idk how housing is going to work like im trying to apply for bowles but it doesn’t say anything about spring transfers. does anybody know anything about this? and also they’ve been accepting spring transfers for years now apparently we are high enough to not be rejected but not very high to be accepted in the fall lol

@“Lou.s98” they do have spring housing contracts for spring admits, so they are prepared. However, I am worried because I’ve heard horror stories about UC Berkeley housing. It’s not guaranteed and limited.

My anxiety is through the roof, waiting on UCLA’s decision. I feel like maybe I have a slight chance because I got admitted to UCB, but then again I’m a spring admit, so maybe that says my stats aren’t as competitive as they need to be.

Berkeley Housing is in much better shape starting last year thanks to the addition of Blackwell (added 750 beds to the inventory). They were able to also give out offers to all sophomores who requested Cal Housing this year as well, something that was not possible in years past.

ya i’m also very scared but we’ll see what happens. ucla admissions are gonna be posted tomorrow at 5:00 PM so good luck!
