<p>@Maninder had a feeling you’d see me on here LOL, couldn’t figure out to do with all my 1 hour breaks between classes.</p>
<p>@dreamer95 sorry for the late reply, but if I were you I’d try to get up to 90. I guess if you stayed under 120 by next spring, they’d let you transfer in as a Junior transfer, but I’m not really sure about that. I’d double check with admissions.</p>
<p>Hey guys. I’m a student at UCR and I am working on my application to transfer to UCB.
I’ve called admissions and no one really gave me a solid answer so I was wondering if anyone here could.</p>
<p>Does the minimum admissions requirement apply to us? Or does it only apply for CC transfers?</p>
<p>"Junior-level transfer</p>
<p>To be considered for UC admission as a junior, you must fulfill both of the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) units of transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 if you’re a nonresident). No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units may be taken Pass/Not Pass.</p></li>
<li><p>Complete the following course pattern requirements, and earn a grade of C or better in each course:</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Two transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) in English composition
One transferable college course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning;
Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas:
arts and humanities
social and behavioral sciences
physical and biological sciences"</p>
<p>Thanks to anyone who can answer this!</p>
<p>Ucrhonors, I just transferred to UC Berkeley from UCSB so I think I can help.
Only the first part applies to UC intercampus transfers. We have to have at least 60 semester (90 quarter) units or else we will be ineligible for transfer. </p>
<p>For the second part, all you need to do is complete all the General Education Requirements at UCR and Berkeley will accept those to fulfill all of their general education/breadth requirements. You will just need to send Berkeley a “Letter of Reciprocity” once you are accepted. Its just a letter from your UC stating that you have completed all the General Education Requirements…so its deemed as the equivalent of the requirements which community college students must complete to transfer.</p>
<p>If we want more information about the whole transfer process who would we talk to on campus (current school). Like who do we consult if we are personally considering transfer is it the counseling office or what department is it? </p>
<p>Also where can I find what GE I need to complete? Sry if its a dumb question.</p>
<p>loveologie, That’s a relief! Do you know how we are supposed to relay that information on our application? I haven’t fulfilled the course pattern requirements cc students need (i.e, don’t have classes in English composition), but I am practically done fulfilling the GE requirements at the UC I go to. Yet I do not know how I can explain this on the application without making it look like I am not eligible for transfer…</p>
<p>Do we write in the Additional Comments section and leave the Transferable Courses section blank? How exactly did you do it?</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
<p>But on the Admissions website, GE requirements are listed under “Additional Requirements,” separate from the minimum admissions requirements Ucrhonors posted. Are you sure intercampus transfer applicants don’t need to worry about the minimum admissions requirements?</p>
<p>Twentyone21, all I could find on the UC website concerning UC intercampus transfers is this: “If you fulfill the lower-division general-education/breadth requirements at a UC campus prior to transferring to another UC campus, the new campus will consider those requirements satisfied.” I fulfilled all the GE requirements at UCSB (nothing else) and had no issue transferring to Berkeley. You might want to call the Admissions Office for further clarification…but I believe that those particular minimum requirements only apply to community college students.</p>
<p>Also, in January, Berkeley will send you a Transfer Academic Update form which will allow you to specify how you are fulfilling the general education/breadth requirements. I just checked off a box labeled “UC Reciprocity”. I also believe I specified this information in the Additional Comments section of the application itself just to make sure there was no confusion.</p>
<p>You can complete either UCB’s breadth requirements or your UC GE’s. So long as you finish all of your lower division GE’s, you can request a UC Letter of Reciprocity after you’re admitted and send it to UCB.</p>
<p>With that said, I’m pretty sure Haas has their own requirements you need to fulfill in addition to your GE’s, if that’s where you’re applying.</p>
<p>Some of the UC transfer pages says that admissions reviewers look at whether you’ve taken 2 reading composition courses (along with a math class, and 4 classes in physical sciences/social or behavioural sciences/etc).</p>
<p>I’m hoping to transfer to either UCLA or UCSD from UC Berkeley, and at UC Berkeley, 2 Reading and Composition classes are required. I passed out of the first class with AP credit and am currently taking the second class.</p>
<p>Does AP credit help me satisfy that criteria to apply to be a junior transfer? Or should I sign up for another reading and composition class this next coming semester even though I don’t need to to fulfill any UC Berkeley requirements?</p>
<p>loveologie thanks for the answer bud(:!</p>
<p>I also have another question that is kind of dumb but are lower division GE’s the same thing as breadth requirements?
The only classes I have been taking are lower-division Major Courses. I have taken no breadth courses except for one english course.</p>
<p>Is this going to be a problem for me if I’m trying to transfer?</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>@UCRhonors I’m a UCR student interested in transferring as well! Do you happen to know if entymology would cover the biological sciences requirement for other UC’s? I know it fulfills a breadth course for UCR (or is it major-specific? please correct me if I’m wrong), but I’ve checked other UC’s and they don’t seem to have an entymology class which worries me. I’m currently making course plans covering the span of the next 2 years and I’m not sure whether to take entymology (class actually seems interesting) or the safe route with Biology 5A which will most likely cover the breadth courses for here as well as other colleges; it opens up other routes to other majors as well if I want to switch. I just joined today and I’ve read some threads/faq’s regarding UC-to-UC transfers on this forum but any other useful tips/links you would be willing to give me would be awesome 
</p>
<p>If anyone else can answer the above question that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>I’m currently at UCSD,bio major. Here are my questions:
1.My GPA is kinda low at this point,only 6.33. Can I not transfer certain classes when I apply?I’ve got B on a calculus and B on an econ.4 Bs on writing cause I’m an international student and I definiely struggled with writing.I read somewhere else that classes taken at on UC can all be transferred to another one…
2.Is there any admission officers I can talk to in SD? Cause I don’t really want to afford flying up to Berkeley…
3. Worried that berkeley would deny me because SD has great bio programs too and they’ll think there’s no reason for me to transfer… But I do want to transfer to Berkeley!</p>
<p>Thank you so much!! And good luck to everyone else who is transferring!</p>
<p>@Christopho Nice, what year are you? And that is a pretty tough question to answer so I would advise calling Berkeley’s Admissions Office. </p>
<p>@musicwand 1. All of your classes that you’ve taken at UCSD will show on the transcript when applying to transfer. Sorry but you can’t exempt certain classes when applying because that would defeat the purpose of being competitive.
2. You can try calling Berkeley admission officers for any quick questions. Or you can try emailing them if you have lengthy questions.
3. You can do it! Just make sure to raise your GPA before applying! My biochem friend from UCSD transferred to UC Berkeley this year. What year are you?</p>
<p>I just called Berkeley today and they told me that you must finish all Breadth Requirements before transferring 
I took lower-div major courses my first year so I don’t think I can transfer to berkeley anymore…</p>
<p>@UCRhonors Thank you so much for your reply! My GPA is 3.63 which is… not good enough I guess. I’m a second year and I’ll finish all my lower divisional classes for my major by the end of the year. I’m hoping to transfer to molecular and cellular biology program in Berkeley. How were your friend’s GPA and ECs? I just want to have a picture of how demanding Berkeley is if you don’t mind telling me. Thanks!!</p>
<p>i want to transfer(from UCD) to UCB for math major. in this quarter, i probably will get a C in one of the math class(well, the class is offered thru the computer science department, but it is still a math theory class) would that ruin my chance for UCB? My GPA will probably be around ~3.0 after the fall quarter. I just want to transfer to UCB to cut down on my expense to attend university because i am from the bay area. any advises?</p>
<p>@musicwand no problem! And a 3.63 should still give you a chance. My friend had a 8.64 as a biochem major at UCSD and transferred to UCB as a math major. I’m not too sure about his ECs though. And thats cool, im going to finish my lower divisional classes by the end of this year too. Have you taken any general ed/breadth courses yet? I called Berkeley and they said that I must finish my breadth/general ed to be considered… I’m not sure what to think about that.</p>
<p>@sinxovercosx Sorry to be a downer but i think a 3.0 would be very low for transfer you can still try though!</p>
<p>Wow, thank goodness I found this thread :O</p>
<p>I’m also a UCSC student looking to transfer to Berkeley/UCLA. It should be known that I am a first-year bioengineering student with sophomore standing, with a combo of AP credit (mostly) and some classes I took at UCSD (I test out of some of the science and humanities reqs already). My goals for college (whether I stay here at SC of transfer) are to have a high GPA and be involved on campus. Since I got here, I have around a 3.66 GPA at the moment, trying to pull it up (its only my first quarter) and I’m already in student government, BMES (BioMedical Engineering Society), lacrosse, and pending are my admission into a pilot program for freshman engineering design as well as a sustainability project on campus.</p>
<p>Assuming everything goes well, then I feel like a good app, essays and all, could give me a good shot, but I’m a first year. I wouldn’t have covered all of the math reqs for Berkeley (no 53-54 equivalent this year) and I don’t think my CS class at SD is class equivalent. And I’m mostly focusing on major reqs this year, so I’m missing some of the GE’s.</p>
<p>So all of this puts me in an uneasy situation in terms of transferring after one year here. I would love to go to Berkeley or UCLA for bioeng, they’ve been two of my dream schools for as long as I can remember, but I’m very worried that the effort won’t amount to anything without something more convincing, given the major and circumstances.</p>
