UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

did anyone find out the meaning of the $250 SIR on CalCentral? did it happen to people who were accepted in the past

@doglover95 @hopesolo jumping in to say I would love to see UCB/UCLA publish the eligible numbers for all majors/in general. I wonder how many people apply knowing they’re not truly qualified but it’s a f-it why not situation? I know I kinda did that for Berkeley.

I wonder how that would change numbers

I did that for UCLA… straight waste of money lol

Hey @viviantong I’m Society and Environment too! Good Luck!

when we get accepted lets all be friends guys/gals

is anyone here a real madrid fan?

What notification you have?

Ahh! A very niche market for us. Good luck to you too :slight_smile:

WRT Data Science Major

Good: “hot major”, lots of buzz, etc.
Bad: “hot majors get cold”

Good: you will learn how to structure data (data engineering) and learn how to make sense of the data (data science)
Bad: This is not unlike what is done by Business Analysts, Statisticians, and actuaries

Good: you have to learn R, SAS, and other cool tools
Bad: This is not a CS program (OK that might be a good as well)

Good: Companies will NEVER stop creating massive quantities of data
Bad: Cambridge Analytics

@GoldenState1 Wdym? Did a SIR payment pop up on your MyUcla account?

@futjewlaw lol we got mutual friendsss, its a small world

@viviantong_!!!

@GoldenState1 if you’re regarding SIR, please clarify!

@jobsoutofcollege you have demonstrated just how much you need an education vs a degree. I sincerely hope that someday you will understand just how non-woke you are today.

I have the SIR thingy on calcentral but didn’t get in previously, never applied before. ahhhhhhh can it be friday!!!

Does anyone know exactly what time admissions post on Friday?

I never got an sir on UCLA, I have one on UCB that everyone else has.

@futjewlaw I follow you already on IG lol from the accepted UC Santa Cruz FB page I think.

Add me y’all @xwill04

anyone here from the bay area?

hello guys, my question below may seem stupid, but, which school is better for an Econ and/or CS major: Cal or UCLA? Any ideas?

@justtransfer417 Okay that’s what I was thinking. Argh. It sucks to go through all this anticipation again after being rejected by LA today.
