<p>I think the admission committee just randomly draw names from a raffle. How else can we explain their trend? It changes each year. </p>
<p>According to an article (forgot the link) all UC's are going through a budget cut, which means less admission this year.</p>
<p>lackofsense:</p>
<p>for what it's worth UCD Admissions posted this regarding the budget cuts:</p>
<p>Atleast for Berk, I think it comes down to extracurriculars. I mean, the majority of people applying already have a spectacular GPA for the most part. A friend of mine got denied with a 4.0 for psychology I believe it was. Another friend of mine, who also had a 4.0, got in for nutrition; she had been in the US for about 5 years and she was heavily involved in clubs and activities at the CC.</p>
<p>well, what is a more popular major, psychology or nutrition?</p>
<p>still, I am glad to hear this news! this means that I've got the bump!!! whoot whoot.</p>
<p>I don't know which is more impacted, but I thought it was important to state that extracurriculars will definitely play a role in your admission. Another friend of mine got in last year with like a 3.3-3.4 for Bio Sci. She also had great extracurriculars.</p>
<p>thanx for the website =)</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhh i still have the dilemma whether to drop my current calc class or not >.< afkljlkajdsf</p>
<p>Econ is impacted like a mofo. </p>
<p>I need to watch Harold and Kumar White Castle for some inspiration.</p>
<p>Adam: what's your major?</p>
<p>businesseconomics it's 3rd year calc</p>
<p>poppin300: Here is a link to the information regarding transfer essays. It is from 2001 so I don't know if it still applies. Maybe they read all the transfer essays now. Anyway, It's under the question in bold that asks "How about the application process for transfers."</p>
<p>
I guess it depends on the school you want to get in. I know UCLA doesn't require it for prereqs.</p>
<p>is it better to get a W or a D or F?</p>
<p>W (10 char)</p>
<p>does it matter when to W because I am planning to do it after April 30th or before the deadline to drop (may 9th)</p>
<p>Doesn't matter. You'll still receive the W regardless, so the wise thing to do is try and bring the grade up before the deadline. If you can't, go for the W.</p>
<p>calc III != third year calc, unless you're so mathematically challenged that a semester equals a year, in which case, drop.</p>
<p>Ok so HERE is the link. Says in 2001 UCB did not read all of the transfer essays. Read under, "How about the application process for transfers"</p>
<p>i think it depends on the major.
for example business admin at berkeley
if they can't be bothered to read most of the essays why would they require a supplementary essay for the major?</p>
<p>excellent find fijeeboi.</p>
<p>However, a couple of things that should be noted when reading that source:</p>
<p>That interview took place in 2001, prior to:
- The elimination of race consciouses policies ( I bring this up to sort of date the interview)
- The establishment of several transfer agreement programs (notably UCLA's TAP and UCSD's TAA [from what I very briefly looked through])
- The mainstream transferring of students through CCC to UC's (in a report released in 2001, they said they wanted to admit roughly 15,000 students by 2006--which at the time meant an annual 7% increase in the number of students admitted. </p>
<p>In the resource you found, the interviewee states:
"In the future, we hope to be able to read more or all of our transfer applications."</p>
<p>It's been 7 years since that statement was given. </p>
<p>Since then either Grey Davis or Schwarzenegger has passed legislation in order to dramatically increase the number of California community college students who transfer to the UC system (if someone can help me find this article that would be great--I tried searching on google for it with no avail)</p>
<p>Here's the annual report from 2001 on CC transfers:
<a href="http://www.ucop.edu/sas/publish/transfer_ar2001.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.ucop.edu/sas/publish/transfer_ar2001.pdf</a></p>
<p>I think it's a good resource to see how the UC wanted to meet more of CC students' needs all the way back in 2001. </p>
<p>I know I haven't adequately disproven your point that UCB may still only read 1/3 of all applications, but given all the changes the UC and CCC systems have made in the last 7 years, I would find it hard to fathom that they haven't been able to improve their review process for transfers.</p>
