UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

@judyjacks i wouldnt give up hope either dude, after i submitted my sir to ucla i was expecting to pay my deposit but it said not required probs bc i applied to the uc’s w/ a fee waiver LMAOOO i’ll take the $250 fee waiver anyday :wink: so if you qualified for an uc application fee waiver the sir deposit probably wont show up for u.

@dashi6 no definitive tricks but if you log into CalCentral and click on finances then click on make payment, an option to pay for SIR is showing up for some people

@judyjacks But does everyone have direct? I don’t if it matters…

@judyjacks Thanks. IDK. I cannot log in by using my @Map. They said I should check my staus…

We’ve got less than like 18 hours (potentially) to go, the ultimate hack (MAP) is coming soon guys

sometimes past transfer students are on these forums and if u see this, can u discuss what the housing situation is like at cal? is there any way to get on campus housing as a transfer student??

@flaminhaute . Sorry for asking, but what is “ultimate hack (MAP)” ???

Who’s ready for our suffering to be over???

@manshiwang by that I mean when the application portal, MAP, is updated :slight_smile:

i should really just make a master shared spreedsheet where everyone can put their stats and if they were accepted but like are we rly gonna be that nice to c/o 2021

also when i was at state school and was thinking about leaving for cc, one of my best friends who goes to cal and i made a pact that if i left and somehow got into cal we could get matching go bears lip tattoos so catch me tomorrow w a swollen lip if all goes well

Hm. I’m more concerned about Berkeley in a few years when I apply to the Goldman School of Public Policy. Regardless of the decision tomorrow, I’m going to SFSU since that’s a better fit for where I am in my life right now (and only ten minutes away). Good luck everyone though… I know you’re all coming from both different and similar places

@istudy What I find interesting is that I looked at my buddies profile (a current student) and his says the same plus a few other groups. He says CalCentral is a new platform so there could be a whole bunch of things to be worked out. What’s also interesting is the composite factors for the undergraduate folder… It says “This group is not a direct composite factor of any other groups.” I’m just wondering whether it is related to the group definitions for undergrad students where summer sessions don’t have access, but I guess we will find out tomorrow! I also have the SIR…

@flaminhaute LOL. Now I understand.

@getoutmeswamp I’ve been talking about making a spreadsheet with a few other people with everything (stats, major, cc, circumstances, even conspiracies lmao) we should totally do it once decisions are out (and you’ve gotten your tattoo) I think it’d really help next years applicants

agreed, it would have helped all of us a lot and it’s like giving back to the transfer community (next year applicants if you’re reading this be GRATEFUL)

So lucky I don’t have school tomorrow otherwise I wouldn’t be able to focus

oops double post

i hope this doesn’t come of the wrong way but for the media studies majors, what careers/job are you guys interested in?

@flaminhaute omg! I barely made it past orientation and gave it one semester but even that was too long! it was so not the right fit for me either i am so happy i left and my only regret was not starting cc sooner
