UC Berkeley Transfer Waitlist

@hdoan24 ahhh! I know I saw one transfer on the main Cal transfer thread who got off appeal last Friday or so for Haas. But I didn’t know they’ve already started accepting off the wait list! Do you think we’ll be hearing at about 3:30-4 (that seems to be the time the wait listed freshmen have heard back).

@hdoan24 wait, maybe the rep you were speaking to yesterday was saying that transfer appeals (not wait-listed transfers) got decisions yesterday? Look at the last two pages of this thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1876112-uc-berkeley-appeal-2016-p6.html Looks like they found out yesterday.

@hdoan24 thank you! I want to live off campus as well but heard from a friend who goes there that it is really hard find place by end of june/ beginning July.

has anyone heard back yet?

@browneyedgirl20 people received rejections at around 415 today. They posted this on the other thread.

@ricardomata83 those are freshmen though not transfers

Ours should be coming out this week. And most of us should get accepted, there seems to be a very small pool of waitlisted students for transfers compared with Davis, Irvine, SD, and LA

Someone got accepted yesterday. It’s on another thread. You have two on the same subject.

@Ohm888 can you post the link to that other thread please (:

@Ohm888 could you please link the thread? Are you sure it wasn’t the appeal thread, the wait list thread for freshmen, or for a different school? this is the only wait list thread of my knowledge for berkeley transfers.

Sure. Here:

@Ohm888 I also follow that thread and it is not a duplicate thread to this one. It was made for everyone to record initial admission decisions- be it acceptance, rejection or wait list. Its purpose is to be an easy and quick thread for future transfer students to look back on to gauge their own stats and chances of being accepted.

Furthermore, I am fairly certain that person was not wait listed to begin with. It looks like they are just now getting around to posting their stats in that thread, and they just created their account on June 1. They also commented on the other transfer thread about being a regents scholar, which I don’t think would be available to students let off the wait list. They also mention how they have already visited the financial aid office at Berkeley. Don’t really think that would be possible if they JUST received their acceptance on June 1 at 3:30-4:30 (typical time acceptances are sent out), and the offices close at 4.

@Ohm888 I don’t think the recent post on that thread exactly correlates with the person being on the waitlist. That last post didn’t specify that they were on the waitlist, anyway. I just think that was someone who was accepted a month ago when regular transfer decisions were coming out, and just decided to post their stats on that thread a little late. I don’t think that person was a waitlist person.

If people really did get their waitlist decisions already, we would already be hearing about it on this thread, and from more than just one person.

I could be wrong, though.

I was on the official UC Berkeley Admissions Facebook page and one of the comments it read:

“UC Berkeley Admissions: We are anticipating letting transfer waitlist applicants know by mid June.”

Great. lol

@hdoan24 did the person you spoke to a few days ago say if we’d be hearing back for sure this week?

Well I called twice, one guy said we’d find out this week. Another girl just read off the statement about decisions being released by July… lol

So idk, maybe they might release something after 4-5pm today

Hi everyone! I’ve been following this thread for a few days now so I figured I’d create an account.
Just FYI, this past Friday I called the admissions office and the woman I spoke to on the phone said that the transfer wait list decisions are expected to be released on June 7. Hope this helps:) wishing everyone the best of luck!

They keep telling everyone different things!!! Hopefully tomorrow is the date

Good luck everyone!

Rejected appeals were notified today, but nothing so far from transfer waitlist
