I recently was accepted to UC Berkeley for spring 2021 as a psychology major. I transferred from a CCC after two years and finished all my psychology prerequisites there.

Is being admitted as a spring transfer a large disadvantage? I worry that I will not have enough time to finish my courses or that certain courses are only offered in the fall. If you have any experience as a spring transfer to UC Berkeley please share!

Also, the possibility that fall 2020 will be online due to COVID-19 may make being admitted in the spring not as bad.

You will still get to spend 4 semesters (two years) at Berkeley before you graduate. The only difference from a fall admit is that you would attend from Spring 2021 to Fall 2022 rather than from Fall 2020 to Spring 2022.

Congrats on your acceptance. May I ask how you transfered as a spring, not a fall? Did you still apply same time as everyone during the regular applications? Thank you!

yup! I applied for fall 2020 but they admitted me for spring 2021 in my acceptance letter.
