<p>@JohnnyToledo I applied to their joint major ChemE + NukeE program.</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.84 but I doubt i’ll have the best chance. I’d say you on the other hand are probably exactly what they’re looking for, so don’t sweat it!</p>

<p>What are my odds if I’m a CC transfer that’s been accepted by UCSB, UCD, and UCI?</p>

<p>3.8, Film Studies, good EC’s, strong essay.</p>

<p>@mrandall</p>

<p>Yeah I think Calc is pretty important. Do you have any ECs or a compelling PS?</p>

<p>So I felt pretty confident with a 4.0, completing my IGETC, and completing all of my prerequisites, but after looking at the 2012 thread, I have no idea! How are you all feeling?</p>

<p>It’s so hard to tell! That sounds like a strong contender but you never can tell…</p>

<p>@Norcaler yeah it certainly is I’m sure haha! Uhm as for EC’s nothing spectacular I volunteered as a soccer coach at my local high school and I’ve worked since I began high school. I usually write pretty good essays but didn’t have them checked and so on so probably nothing that will impress them greatly. Like I’ve said though I know I have the tiniest of chances and if I don’t get in UCSC is straight beautiful. </p>

<p>The only thing i really have going is that my GPA is higher than the average admit, but yeah. </p>

<p>I think you have a really good shot assuming you have some EC’s and so on. Good job! Whats your major?</p>

<p>Edit* I see you are a fellow Econer! I’m going to say you get in, because if you don’t then I have absolutely no chance :D. Also, if we both do get in we will certainly see each other in a class or two!</p>

<p>To be honest part of me hopes I’m rejected. From what I hear from friends it’s not a great college experience but if I was accepted I’d want to go because well, it’s Berkeley.</p>

<p>@Jean</p>

<p>I know the feeling, but I want to have that option. What school are you going to attend if you don’t get into Berk?</p>

<p>Probably UCSB. You?</p>

<p>I got into SB and SC, and I’ve had my heart set on SC since I began CC but SB is nice as well so I think we will both be happy regardless of whether we end up at berk!</p>

<p>Agreed. I know plenty of people who have turned down Berkeley for other UC’s and they don’t regret it a bit. Seems like a pretentious, overrated school to me. Good luck either way, mate.</p>

<p>Same here JeanMark. I’m a CC transfer that’s been accepted by UCSB, UCSD and waiting for Cal decision - 3.8 Film studies as well. I will def’ choose Cal over the others but if not Cal I’ll sure SIR UCSB.</p>

<p>@mrandall</p>

<p>I have some ECs, including working as a tutor for the school and a semester long internship, but it seems like some people actually make a difference in the world and I haven’t done anything close to that caliber. </p>

<p>I see you got into both UCSC and UCSB. Congrats on that.</p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck on Berkeley!</p>

<p>Any Psyc majors applied to Cal?
I’m from a CCC with a 3.84 GPA for psyc.
Went to CalDay yesterday; fell in love with the campus, the people, the area, everything about it.
Super nervous about decisions…any other psyc majors out there? GIVE ME SOME PEACE OF MIND knowing there are and in my same position!!</p>

<p>@Norcaler thanks man! I think you got enough going for you to get in. If you don’t get in though do you have a backup? I’m just curious as to where the other Econ majors are going haha. </p>

<p>@Jeff How was the campus? Have you been to any other UCs? If so how did it compare? I know so little about the campus.</p>

<p>@Jeffjenks I’m a psych major waiting on Cal and LA too! 3.85GPA. I already got UCI and UCD but i’m sososososooo nervous for these last two! Good luck :)</p>
