@caitlynn09 Thanks for the info, that’s what I’ve heard too but it’s nice coming from a Cal transfer student. I was worried initially cuz I only had one “real” EC since HS, but I’ve heard that they value quality over quantity, and that they don’t care too much for transfers anyway when it comes to ECs
@ericbadmon I wouldn’t worry about EC. When a UCSD rep was at my ccc she mentioned that EC don’t matter for any of the UC’s, GPA, pre-reqs, and IGETC are king. EC will boost you but not hurt you.
@FutureHaasBear thanks for the heads up
@goldenstate1 I didn’t mention the major I applied to at Berkeley in my PIQ, do you think they’ll care? I have all my prereqs done though.
@bluevelvet28 hard to tell, but if your GPA is within the range of those previously accepted for your major and your IGETC is complete you should have a good chance.

@ebonylmocanu nice! conservation and resource studies 
Wow. I feel kind of guilty after reviewing the comments since my last post. I was in no way trying to increase the already heightened anxiety of anyone here who shared my situation of lacking a wealth of impressive ECs. I have other factors that could hurt me too, such as being an older student (mid thirties) and only casually taking classes for several years until finally deciding on a definite path two years ago (I’m essentially a six-year transfer.) And at the same time, it is easier to say that I don’t expect to get in because that way, a rejection simply means that my expectations were met. To be honest, I doubt that I could even afford to go if I am accepted too. But I hope you all realize that regardless of what you find out on Friday, you worked very hard and should be proud of yourself!
@caitlynn09 Hey I applied to Berkeley as a poli sci transfer this year- I’ve heard it’s almost impossible to get upper div poli sci courses if you don’t Phase I your classes. Has this been your experience as well? Thank you so much!
hey guys, planning a lil something for all of you in the bay area. friday night if we don’t get accepted i thought we could all line up and i can get someone to hit us with a car? please rsvp if interested ! go bears
lmao ded
@getoutmeswamp let’s not be rash! first we need to get some very extensive life in$urance coverage, and make sure we get hit by the nicest car po$$ible. I’ve seen a P1 around, should be good choice if any survivors are left.
@GoldenState1 Yup I’ve heard the same. Though Cal might care more about ECs than UCSD.
going to get elon musk to hit me with his personal tesla, that should set me up for a minute
@getoutmeswamp make this a Facebook event I’m down
My girlfriend got into UCB as a freshman with two ECs that were pretty standard.
It’s anxiety speaking. You’re over thinking it, I promise.
@getoutmeswamp time and place?
you’re definently ready for the meme culture of berkeley thats for sure lmao
