UC Berkeley Transfer Waitlist Fall 2018

@diane6239 Yes I am!! Are you?

@viviantong no I didn’t apply there actually. What is your first choice between the two?

@diane6239 yes it is in L&S,
Gpa:3.2
Major GPA: 3.7
IGETC: yes
Honors program completion
EC: director Of student services
Class advocate 3 times
But I am also a single mom of 2 girls and a non traditional student. I was surprised I got waitlisted at all. I wanted to go to UCLA and was TAP certified to and got rejected. I got into UCR, UC Davis, UCSD College Of Revelle, and waitlisted for UC Santa Barbara, UCI and UCB.

@Arikari wow I did not know UCSB had a waitlist too, I got waitlisted at UCI as well. Thank you for sharing, I really hope you make it off the waitlist at Berkeley!!!

@diane6239 My first choice is LA! But I would love to go to either one

@viviantong oh nice!! Well I hope it works out for you!

Does anyone have any speculation as to when decisions will be released? I SIR’d to Davis already but I am getting anxious since the deadline to SIR is two days away!

Last year, the first wave started coming in on June 3rd (which is probably June 4 this year) and more started coming in on the 6th and so on

@viviantong thank you! Wow so soon! I hope I’m not one of the last waves:/…

@Arikari Actually my mistake, I thought this was the UCLA thread. Sorry! For berkeley, I read that the first wave started coming out on the 20th, for those in the 2017 thread at least. I apologize for the confusion

I tweeted admissions and they replied that all waitlist applicants will be notified on a rolling basis throughout June untill July 1st. Vague but we should all know by the first of July.

@Arikari @viviantong actually last year’s first wave came out on June 6th (you’ll notice if you read carefully the thread until the end). the second wave came out around June 22nd-23rd. My guess is the first wave will come out this year by the end of next week

Hello everyone! I’ve been reading through this thread for a few days and also the 2017 thread and am dying to find out about waitlist decisions!! How are you all feeling about getting in?

@TheRubberBandMan I’m not very confident I’ll get in lol my stats are low but I have hope! I mean at least I’m on the list!

@Arikari I feel ‘okay’ about my stats but I’m still really nervous. What’s your major?

@TheRubberBandMan well godluck! I’m a comparative literature major. What is yours?

@Arikari you too! I’m an astrophysics major. Comparative Lit isn’t too competitive is it? That should make you feel better, there may be a higher chance for you to get in.

@TheRubberBandMan yeah it’s a small department and not impacted, there are 20-40 students in a class and I really like that! I applied for literature majors through out the UC’s so to get waitlisted for Berkeley was a blessing! I will post if L&S sends out decisions first, last years thread L&S department got notified first but it could be switched this year.

@Arikari did L&S release their decision around June 20th last year or earlier than that?

@TheRubberBandMan earlier, they started the first week of June.
