UC Berkeley Spring Admit 2016

They just came up with some new thing that lets spring transfers get involved with fall because they felt the springs felt like second class citizens. I’ll have to look because I read it but don’t recall it all.

UPDATE
Here it is. Not sure what it entails:

Unfortunately, it’s a program entitled to freshman spring admits only :frowning:

Does it say on my degree that I was admitted as a spring transfer? Why would anyone in the spring feel like a second class citizen? Someone please tell me if there’s a reason I should be concerned about being a spring admit (other than the graduation date).

@SWEEP1989 There is no reason you should be concerned about being a spring admit.

Hi, I SIRed for spring 2016 too. And now I’m just wondering what do I do next. I can’t join fpf because I am a transfer. Is everybody else in the dark like I am too?

You know what? I was overthinking everything. I’ll move to Berkeley when the Spring semester flies by. I’m sure I’ll still be a happy camper. Meanwhile, I can be doing many things with my time. Thanks for the input, guys!

If you’re a Spring 2016 Transfer Admit, please check my thread!

@poggibaby Glad you chose Cal! LETS POP SOME BOTTLES…lol in all seriousness the OCR for investment banking and financial services is very legit here. The only downside though is that most ibanks (bulge brackets) recruit in the fall for summer internships.

@damnImwaiting hey I was also planning to move up to Berkeley area and attend CCSF or BCC for this Fall. Have you found out any good places to start??

@helloo0 I actually decided against it after some though. I realized there is no reason for me to move up early, but maybe you can utilize your time there.

By the way, please check out this thread. I need some spring transfers to PM their facebook profiles so I can create a group/page for us :slight_smile:

Hey guys! This thread has been dead for too long. It’s almost October which means it’s almost time for our orientations! We are almost there!! :smiley:

Also, is anyone still waiting for their transcripts to be verified? I’m still waiting on mine! I emailed my rep and she said its normal but I don’t understand what is taking so long.

@SWEEP1989 Calso is going to be on 1/2016 next year :confused: but you can sign it up right now

@SWEEP1989 I’m still waiting as well! I’m sure everything is okay :slight_smile: I have a feeling they should be verified by the end of October when we have the advising session with a counselor in order to register in November.

Anyone having trouble with housing?

@CALbearxo200 ahh that makes me feel so much better. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!! Let me know when yours are finalized. I’m not doing housing so I can’t help you there. Sorry!

Lots of Spring 16 class schedules were released. It’s been fun and stressful looking at them. January will be here before we know it guys! =D>

i don’t understand what’s wrong with being admitted to spring?

personally if i get accepted to berkeley i would rather CHOOSE spring than fall, so i could take a gap half year to experience the real world.

and aside from the self-inferiority of spring admit, don’t all students automatically become just like fall admits after one semester? and what about clubs and frosh?
