UC Berkeley Transfer Waitlist Fall 2018

Does anyone know what the best housing options for transfer students might be? I’ve heard good things about Wada and Martinez. Any others?

Also the “Accept Clipper Card License” task ? Is that something that anyone else is having trouble with?

@caltransfer2018 yeah ofc!! I had a 4.0, but I didn’t have great extracurriculars and a pretty medicore essays.

Finally Friday! Wish the wave comes out today!!

For those recently admitted and wondering when our housing offers might come: “You can anticipate being notified about a housing offer in the last week of June/ first week of July.”

Today is not the day lol

@juliaweiland Julia! I’m going to Berkeley :slight_smile: Didn’t get off the UCLA waitlist, but it’s okay because Cal has always been my dream school. I guess I’ll see you there?

Please be patient and waiting until 20th…

@viviantong congrats vivian. Good that you know from both of them. I bet it was such a relief :slight_smile:

@bicboi88 Thank you so much!! I hope that you hear back soon and that it is great news :slight_smile:

@viviantong I hope so finger cross

If I sird to Berkeley and had previously SIRd to UCR but now I want to go to UCR. Can I withdraw from Berkeley and stay at UCR since I just accepted Berkeley’s offer last night? I never withdrew from UCR

@itslit Yeah you can do that. I think there is a place where you can withdraw or cancel your acceptance on either MAP or CalNet. If you couldn’t find it, maybe give admission a call?

@itslit yeah ofc you can like @bicboi88 mentioned you can do that either in MAP or CalCentral. I’m wondering tho what are your reasons to chose UCR over UCB if you don’t mind me asking

Hello all,

I am also on the waitlist and nervous as can be. Stats: 3.4 gpa overall
Major gpa: probably a lot higher
Major: CS in L&S
EC: Intern at NASA since November and Technical Expert at Apppe for 2 years. Also a NASA CC Aerospace Scholar.

Hoping to get in with you all in the next wave of admits! Has anyone for CS gotten in thus far?

@LoganKilpatrick wow pretty impressive EC’s. I’m a fellow CS major here and nope none of us CS in this thread got in yet.

I’m pretty hopeful we’ll hear back by/on June 21st. so fingers crossed

Thank you I appreciate the kind words. That is good to hear. I really don’t think there can be that many of us for CS since they usually only take around 50 people every year. My hope is that we all get in!

What is your backup if you don’t go to Berkeley?

@LoganKilpatrick my backup is actually stay another year at CC. I only applied to three schools and got waitlisted at both UCI and UCB so if none of them work out I’ll apply again next year. tho I really hope it does work out I am so ready to transfer!
