@hailey5799 Wow I stand completely corrected - apologies! I actually wasn’t able to see how many they selected of the 23,000, so I just erred on the side of caution. Thanks for sharing that!
my addresses went 2-4-2 and back to 4 again just now. Last name starts with i, philosophy 3.7 gpa
I’m at LMC and took classes at DVC! looks like many are local here.
Honestly, being rejected from UCLA would make getting into Berkeley so much better. Cal is/was top choice either way and the more realistic option for me in terms of logistics.
Btw the new student admit tour notification is gone from my cal central portal
Mine is gone too @GoldenState1
Major Civil Engineering
GPA: 3.76
IGETC: yes
Major Preq: done (except mat lab, no articulation at my college)
Accepted: UCI, CP SLO, CPP, CSULB, CSUF
Rejected: UCLA
Pending: UCB, UCSD
I’ve only been here for 4 years; therefore, I’m an immigrant!
Don’t know why UCLA rejected me.
Last year it seems like a lot of people got into Cal and LA!
What’s the admit rate cs majors? 3%?
@GoldenState1 same
@transfermom18 I’m the exact same. Waitlisted at SB and ? About SD but even if I’m accepted I won’t go. My life and family can’t be changed that much!
Best of luck to Berkeley for you.
Rejected from UCLA, waitlisted from UCD… I’m losing my hope rn
Guys even if you’ve gotten more rejections than you’d hope for so far, don’t lose hope. Berkeley is super holistic, admissions might see something in you that grades can’t convey!
@LittleBear24 @transfermom18 Hey! Locals in the area, yeah I’m really banking on UC Berkeley, fingers crossed.
Weird that that notification disappeared for us.
@hailey5799 are you in Tap?
I’m hoping Tap, Experience Berkeley and the starting point program I’m in give me the weight I need to get in UCB. Crossing my fingers for all of us!
Yeah no kidding, new admit notification is gone on mine too… Maybe Cal caught on lol
What doesn’t make sense to me is that Berkeley students can declare sociology with a 2.0 but I probably won’t get in with a 3.7!
I get it. They worked hard to be there. Not everyone can transfer in. But still. It makes me kinda sad.
Just admitted by UCLA
Major Eco
GPA: 4.0
IGETC: yes
Major Preq: done
Applied: UCB, UCLA, UCD
Accepted: UCLA, UCD
Pending: UCB
I feel like I am a very strong applicant and will be also admitted by UCB
Good luck everyone.
My tips to the future applicant: take the core courses as soon as possible. (English 1A 1B and Calculus) that will definitely increase your chance. Don’t wait for the last semester! I know people saying that it won’t hurt but imagine that if someone has a very similar status as you, what makes you stand out will be the courseload (core courses and major courses)
@transfermom18 I’m a one year transfer, so the Starting Point Mentorship I didn’t figure out about (the counselors were NO help!) until like August after I graduated high school and it was all full so I couldn’t. I didn’t know that TAP was available at DVC for Berkeley, and isn’t it only for lower income students? I have no idea what the “Experience Berkeley program” is. I’m still hoping fingers crossed I get in.
