UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

@flaminhaute lol just another tab to check for me … ill be refreshing that calcentral page allllllllll of this friday

4 addresses, last name starts with S, Computer Science major.

Too late to ask this question, but just for my sanity’s sake:
*) Will a 5 on AP Calc BC qualify as a completed Pre-Req for Math 1A + 1B?
I’m applying for Econ major.

Based on this website, it seems like it should:
http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/exam-credit/ap-credits/berkeley/index.html

However, it is not spelled out on Assist.org for Berkeley just like how it is clearly written on UCLA articulation page.

I am really afraid about my GPA. I got a 2.7 in one English (international student) but all the other major prereqs are 3.8+. My overall GPA is 3.75. I apply for Environmental econ. Do you think I can make it?

Does anyone know what time we can expect our decisions to go live?

@neka4729 The decisions should be up on 4/27. It looks like it was around 3:30pm last year. http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20609994/#Comment_20609994

@blueraccoon13 Did you apply to the College of Natural Resources?

@Sanla124 Yes. I applied to the CNR.

4 addresses; 3.99 GPA; looking to transfer from 4yr UC as Econ major; G last name. Honestly I don’t think it’s an indicator of any sort but I guess for future reference I will throw in my stats here:) Good luck to us all and hey it’s almost Friday!

@hailey5799 i know exactly how you feel, i went to a college prep academy so everyone had that mindset. i graduated a year early at 16 yet everybody still thinks it’s horrible that i chose cc as a 1 year transfer. they don’t understand that i chose to graduate too late and applications were already due. well f them !

getting excited/nervous, guys…

Hello everyone! I was a Fall 2017 community college transfer and I just wanted to say good luck to everyone!
I remember looking at this thread way too often the week of Berkeley decision day as well!

If anyone wants my stats here it is.

Major: Integrative Biology, College of Letters and Sciences
Transfer GPA: 3.84

Oh fun fact, I have an identical twin brother who also applied to transfer into the same major I did! He got in April 28, 2017. But, I got WAITLISTED and eventually heard back on the “first wave” of waitlist acceptance on JUNE 20.

If this matters to anyone: I got my Berkeley notification (waitlisted) April 28, 2017 at 4:04 PM.

I got the notification that I was off the waitlist (after opting in) June 20, 2017 at 3:45 PM.

My brother and I both go to Cal now! Go bears! :smiley:

@DmelanogasterAE hey thanks for sharing! Just wondering, how many addresses where shown for both you and your brother? I’ve been browsing through a bunch of pages on this thread and last year’s and couldn’t find one person that had 2 addresses and had announced an acceptance :confused: definitely feeling a lot of anxiety over something thats most likely arbitrary

@orionk Honestly…mine went to 4 at one point and then switched back to 2. If any of y’all want a tip read below!

My brother was so stressed the hour right before decisions were coming out, he was trying to log into the student portal of Berkeley…AND he was logged in! And a few minutes later he got the letter of acceptance! (All this time I was frantically trying to get in, but I couldn’t because I was waitlisted LOL.)

https://auth.berkeley.edu/cas/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fcalcentral.berkeley.edu%2Fauth%2Fcas%2Fcallback%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fcalcentral.berkeley.edu%252F

Use that website on the top, and to log in, use the same credentials you use to access your application portal. Try logging in at around like 3:55 PM because idk how the system works, but I think the Berkeley student portal itself will add you in first, and then NOTIFY YOU a few mins after to check your application portal.

@DMelanogaster hey I’m an identical twin too! Thanks for the tips. I can’t imagine attending the same school as my sister omg

2 Addresses CS L&S, 3.89 (B/c physics) 3.92 w/o

So many identical twins wow. Two of my younger brothers are identical twins haha

Is the decision really coming out on April 27?

I should really be doing something productive. 4 addresses, 2 with zip+4 (different than my application from UC portal). No alumni scholarship email. UC 3.97, Major 4.0, Haas.

@Windul yes it will.
