<p>i turned down berkeley for ucla</p>
<p>worst decision ever the more i think of it</p>
<p>i hate myself</p>
<p>why did i do that....</p>
<p>i thought i would be happy going to either one...</p>
<p>i guess i didnt see the true values of berkeley until i lost my chance to attend...</p>
<p>sigh life sucks</p>
<p>Could you be anymore selfish? Thousands of people work their off to get into these prestigious schools and few don’t even get into either; you should really appreciate what you have right now.</p>
<p>how do u you’ve made a bad decision already?</p>
<p>andrew:</p>
<p>you can always transfer. And, bcos you were accepted to Cal, you can apply as a transfer after one year. (It’s buried in the minutiae of admissions rules.) But to transfer UC to UC, you better have a good reason besides the fact that you want to leave the Southern Branch.</p>
<p>you know, you can un-decline a school. you just have to notify their admission office ASAP.</p>
<p>“And, bcos you were accepted to Cal, you can apply as a transfer after one year.”</p>
<p>Wow! That’s good to know. Can you direct me to where I might find that in writing?</p>
<p>Look at the second paragraph [University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer.html)</p>
<p>Contact the admissions office immediately, Berkeley’s first. See if they can do anything at this point.</p>
<p>If you get lucky, you can still secure a spot, though it may be too late to secure housing.</p>
<p>Haha…Hindsight is always 20/20, eh?..;)</p>
<p>Good luck on the appeal.</p>
<p>is it easy for one to transfer from one UC to another UC that they have been accepted in? how would one pursue this? is it too late to transfer?</p>
<p>hindsight IS always 20/20. I was admitted to UCLA and CAL as a freshman, chose ucla, and now i’m transferring to Cal! yay! and i didn’t see anything on that site about the one year transfer thing… I was told UC students would be considered like any other 4 yr college student, regardless of prior acceptance.</p>
<p>“Look at the second paragraph University of California - Admissions”</p>
<p>What the hell are you talking about?</p>
<p>yea… i see nothing about the 1 year transfer…</p>
<p>My mistake did not see the one year transfer, brain fade. Some UC’s allow for a freshman or sophmore transfer see [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/askuc/answers/miscellaneous.html#1]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/askuc/answers/miscellaneous.html#1)
but not Cal according to the Berkeley transfer site. Sorry for the misinformation. Hope you get what you want.</p>
<p>Just contact Berkeley admissions right away and take it from there.</p>
