UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

How long after creating your email did you see the campus group memberships pop up?

does new admit tours on calcentral show up for everyone?

and can everyone make an @berkeley.edu account?

@quaivoltaire

I have new admit tours but no SIR deposit. However, I did receive a fee waiver for my applications.

I created an @berkeley.edu account this morning.
my account manager says student-type- not registered

I do not see that I am part of any cal groups

ah, I see! I thought it’d be weird for them to let just anyone have that handle. :slight_smile:

@judyjacks finally caught up with everything glad you’re out of jail! Yes I’m poli sci, if I get in I’m going to get drunk for the first time, probs not but I’m going to start screaming and crying also if I don’t get in.

@quaivoltaire they probably delete the accounts made that dont end up registering for classes after a certain amount of time

@quaivoltaire does the new admit tours show up for you?

ahh, that makes sense. and yup, it’s there.
I’m going to Ucla but I’m super stoked for the cal decisions!

Who’s joining me at UCSC if Cal doesn’t work out???

@judyjacks Well I’m pretty sure I’ll get in UCSD, so probs there, if I only get Davis and UCSB and Berkeley and UCSD join the UCLA train and reject me then I’ll go another year at CC, work full time, maybe pick up an AA or two, intern, idk really. It’s a bit terrifying and exciting at the same time if you catch my drift?

@judyjacks I’m almost looking forward to being rejected bc then I have a whole year where I really don’t know what to do and I’ve never had that before, I can really do anything, and then again I really want to get in first time around. Thanks btw, and good luck to you too! Hopefully it all works out for both of us. If all of us regulars on this thread get into Berkeley we HAVE to meet up if we all go!

@flaminhaute Is there an origin story behind your profile picture being of joe biden?

@thecolorblue actually, yes!

My senior year of high school I made this account to bug my sister who has since been b& twice from here lol. Her username was something like FreezingCold so I went with the opposite, and he profile pic was Obama making a funny face. So I had to become Joe. I’m tempted to swap him out for a more recent meme, but it feels wrong!

If UCB rejects me, than it will be UCD for me.

Omg midnight? Argh this is getting harder and harder.

I have a question. If you got a CAA scholarship email does it mean your application is currently under review? Is it a good sign that you have higher chance to get admitted? Does everyone who applied UCB receive CAA scholarship email?

@Kevin19970520 general consensus is that the CAA scholarship has nothing to do with actual admissions

UCSD is out!

Okay so UCSD, UCLA rejected me. UCD waitlisted me. I applied to econ for those schools. For Berkeley, I applied to environmental econ (CNR). GPA 3.75 Do you think I still have a chance?

I do! @blueracoon13

Plus Berkeley holds the personal statements in a much higher regard.
