UC Berkeley 🐻 (2022-2023)

[spring raft]

what major are u?

[frail blaze]

yeah exactly, that's what i said lol. like ucla and rice are the same cost for me but ucla's cost of living is gonna make it more expensive than rice bc houston is a lot cheaper than LA

[spring raft]

if pre-med, i feel like rice over la is a no brainer

but for other things idk

[cloud cypress]

yess

[spring raft]

rice's biggest rep is in premed so

[cloud cypress]

both my sisters in ucla

and the food was good

[turbid spire]

8 rejections today lez go

[frail blaze]

like im deciding between uc berkeley ucla and rice rn but i feel like berkeley seems hella stressful

[gilded quiver]

wait if i got admitted to the letters and sciences college, then does that mean I just do whatever major once Im there or am i in the major I selected while applying

[polar pier]

is cal like confetti as you log in or is it ucsc style

[cloud cypress]

yeah ucb is competitive

[tacit grove]

congratss r u gonna commit?

[polar pier]

where u open a letter

[sour pulsar]

This is why CS and EECS have a low acceptance rate:

[gilded quiver]

letter

[lost jewel]

L take

[gilded quiver]

i got 0 confetti

[polar pier]

okay so i can brace my self once i log in

[frail blaze]

doing like psych/pol sci/ public policy. basically social studies/social sciences

[cloud cypress]

im considering, cuz the major i got for uci is good

[spring raft]

i see

[polar pier]

it doesnt say rejected or not on the spot?

[spring raft]

rice has a really nice public policy institute

[cloud cypress]

so idk

[tacit grove]

wat major

[spring raft]

the baker institute

[cloud cypress]

business adminstration

[lost jewel]

Have not noticed the competitiveness at Cal tbh

[frail blaze]

ik berkeley is super good for politics tho if i wanna do political careers, cuz their political scene is huge. im from georgia btw

[spring raft]

i do policy work as a activity not based around it though so i cant say much but i liked it when i was looking into the school

[cloud cypress]

idk what i got into for ucb i just know i got into letters of science

[spring raft]

politics in texas are weird though

[gilded quiver]

uhh the first word in the letter was congratulations

[wary plank]

Sweet mother of God

[frail blaze]

lmaooo yeah it is

tbh tho, georgia and texas politically are pretty similar

[cloud cypress]

but the major i applied for is econ pre business or stats pre business

[polar pier]

okay..... ion rlly wanna check lmao

[wary plank]

I should’ve put my size 12 foot for scale, it’s shorter than the cup

[spring raft]

ive tried pushing bills for some advocacy legislate work i do and the amount of times ive reached out to people and found out they were republicans only later 😭

[gilded quiver]

do it!

[wary plank]

Don’t worry about politics you’ll find your people

[polar pier]

should i......

idk

whats the link to the portal

[cloud cypress]

yall is it true that its very hard to get into clubs at berkley?

[wary plank]

The competitive, desirable ones yes

[cloud cypress]

ppl be sayin the clubs is like harvard acceptance rate

[wary plank]

But uncompetitive clubs can also be desirable

[cloud cypress]

sighh

[wary plank]

It makes sense given the size of Berkeley

[cloud cypress]

too many talented ppl in ucb i cant compete bro

[frail blaze]

i mean im prob doing a job in politics lmao. but nah im not necessarily worrying abt politics, but the overall ideology kinda influences what life is like there. like i go to a conservative school rn in south GA rn (like hours from atlanta) and it influences what life is like there, the culture, diversity, and the artistic scene

[wary plank]

You’re probably at least average dw

[wary plank]

Yeahh true but that’s an explicitly conservative school it looks like. Rice is pretty liberal. It’s no Berkeley but you shouldn’t have issues

[cloud cypress]

lmaoo imposter syndrome fr

[pliant linden]

is there a discord for Berkeley co 27

[cloud cypress]

do ppl say cal more than uc berkley?

[wary plank]

Yes you’re going to have to deal with Conservative/Socialist/(whatever your opposite is) club dickheads but I promise politics-wise you’ll be fine either way

[polar pier]

idk i cant check lmao i am scared

idky but i dont wanna check

[cloud cypress]

manifest

[polar pier]

im in the page

[wary plank]

Like it’s Rice not TAMU

[polar pier]

i just need to press one more button

[frail blaze]

lmao ik rice is more liberal but i still "stereotype" texas. that's why i wanna visit ucla and rice to get out of my stereotyping. bc i stereotype/romantacize abt LA bc of the media. and i stereotype texas too. cause i havent been to LA in a while and havent been to texas at all, so im just basing my view on the location based on flawed stereotypes/perceptions

[wary plank]

Even TAMU’s ideologically pretty balanced

[cloud cypress]

they didnt even give confetti so i thought i got rejected

[polar pier]

fuck it imma open it

[steep kelp]

how do i checked what major i got in for

check

[polar pier]

dma rejected

[cloud cypress]

ucsd acceptance letter was crazy they had a whole animation

[frail blaze]

lmfao same that's what i thought too. bc as soon as i see the confetti i dont even have to read "congrats" and i automatically react but berkeley my reaction time was kinda off bc there was no confetti

[cloud cypress]

LMAO FR

[wary plank]

Yo should def visit! Upon visiting you’ll know more than me because I’ve never visited. You should def visit UCLA too, I can help you tour as well if you’d like

Lots of great food near UCLA as well

[cloud cypress]

i want boba

[frail blaze]

one of my fav things abt LA is the fashion bc of pinterest lol. im super passionate abt fashion

[dire sky]

Hey, did it say you got into data science in your letter?

[cloud cypress]

me toooo

[frail blaze]

are u from norcal?

[cloud cypress]

yes

[finite pumice]

Guys what is

Seeds scholar

[sharp comet]

duk how to check what major u got into for?

[frail blaze]

ik ppl are good at fashion in norcal too , but is the fashion scene pretty big there too? cuz ik teh fashion scene is super good in la

[finite pumice]

What’s SEED scholar

[cloud cypress]

oh la is not in norcal?

nvm im not in norcal haha, but my sister is working in norcal

i think the fashion is nice too

[wary plank]

Some of the students at UCLA are very fashionable haha

[dire sky]

bro fr

[wary plank]

Like an academia-focused thing

[cloud cypress]

idk eithet

i was trying to find it

[plucky minnow]

was berkeley eecs extra-competitive this year?

[frail blaze]

what? lmaoo nooo

[sharp comet]

how hard is it to join the impacted majors after?

[cloud cypress]

oh mb lmaoo

[wary plank]

Noooo 😭

[frail blaze]

lmaooo

[cloud cypress]

🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

[wary plank]

This is hate speech

Tremendously disrespectful

[steep kelp]

How did u tell u got in for ds

[frail blaze]

norcal is like SF berkeley etc, socal would be like san diego LA etc

[steep kelp]

I got in but idk how to tell what major I got in for

[dire sky]

[cloud cypress]

i pray for u

[frail blaze]

[jade crow]

Ty :))

[sharp comet]

any idea how to check?

[wary plank]

Probably Berkeley, it would have been Northeastern if I didn’t get lucky today

[frail blaze]

i took 7 ap this year it's been the worst year of my life lol

[wary plank]

6 and I’ve just been ignoring them

[cloud cypress]

7????

bro

[jade crow]

For poli sci is Berkeley or ucla generally regarded as a stronger program? I know socially they’re very different but she’s gonna have a lot of factors to weigh haha

[jade crow]

SEVEN?! I took 6 total all years y’all are crazy

[frail blaze]

it's not really worth it. i mean it helped in college admissions, but my mental health got litereally so bad this year

and rn

[jade crow]

0 fresh, 0 soph, 2 junior and 4 senior 💅

[frail blaze]

im ready to graduate, like in georgia, we graduate on like may 20 ish so i have a countdown

[jade crow]

Ah happy early graduation!! We grad in mid-June lol

[left sequoia]

bro

[jade crow]

I lowkey don’t want hs to end

[wary plank]

Berkeley

[frail blaze]

yeah but in georgia, we also start on like august 5th ish

[left sequoia]

my friends gaining calc

Failing

[hasty totem]

did you apply data science as your first or second choice? From Fall 2023, Berkeley does not allow any change of major to CS

[left sequoia]

And he got in

Is he ducked

Fucked

[cloud cypress]

does anyone know ucb discord?

[left sequoia]

they have the like nothing lower than C req

[frail blaze]

berkeley seems a lot more stressful than ucla tho. like a lot more competitive too. ucla gives work hard play hard

[jade crow]

Hmm ok that’s what I thought

[idle grail]

wsg twin

pu

[cloud cypress]

yoo nice i got econ major for ucb

[jade crow]

Ya I get those vibes too

[frail blaze]

that's why i think id choose ucla over ucb

[jade crow]

I think she should go to la but obviously it’s not my choice

[cloud cypress]

i wouldnt say, it depends on ur major

both my sisters said ucla is competitive

[jade crow]

I mean either way it’s less than 5k annual cost of attendance, great programs, etc. no way to go wrong

[cloud cypress]

they doin bio

[hasty totem]

what are the admission chances from berkeley waitlist?

[idle grail]

0, give up.

[left sequoia]

Bro

How do I know what major I got in for

it doesn’t show

Like at anywhere

[idle grail]

what school

[left sequoia]

Berkeley

[idle grail]

bc you declare there you dont get admitted

obv i meant what school within berk

[left sequoia]

oh so

[idle grail]

like for L&S

[left sequoia]

U don’t declare major

It’s just the school

[idle grail]

you dont get admitted to a major

[left sequoia]

Oh nice

Oh word

[idle grail]

ye

[left sequoia]

I got L and S

U get in?

[hasty totem]

really? no chance for waitlist people to get Cal?

[left sequoia]

Bro my best friend got in but he’s failing calc I’m worried for him 😭😭

He’s failing by 5 points

😭😭

[idle grail]

nah idk its def low tho

he gotta clutch up

[hasty totem]

anyone here waitlisted at Cal?

[tame hull]

@idle grail usc on top.

im in yo hood

wsg???

[idle grail]

wsg buddy what you tryna rep?

yk where the crib it so pu

[idle grail]

see but the thing is you dont even believe that

[tame hull]

i would but im not tryna drive thru oakland

you gotta do that every time you tryna come home 🤣

???

[upbeat orbit]

Dream come true ngl

[plucky minnow]

is it normal to get into mit but rejected from berkeley

[tame hull]

yes!

[plucky minnow]

kinda disappointed that i wasn't even waitlisted

[tame hull]

dw bro

berk ass

[plucky minnow]

agree lmao

[hasty totem]

dont worry, berkeley waitlist is as good as rejection

[plucky minnow]

true tbh

but it's more that my app wasn't good enough for AOs to even waitlist me

[tame hull]

who cares

it dont matter

[plucky minnow]

true lol

[astral fable]

they gave me amazing aid

[safe horizon]

Copium

[keen jasper]

got berkele

y

[hasty totem]

why would anyone not accept berkeley?

[opaque totem]

STOP

[hasty totem]

and probably they offer admission to 2x students so at least 50% would accept

[hasty totem]

??

[plucky minnow]

if they got into a better school

[opaque bobcat]

anyone know the rates this year?

[jade crow]

ucla > berkeley for all things non-academic imo

[hasty totem]

berkeley is #1 CS

[jade crow]

Not everyone does cs 😭

[magic raven]

Berkeley EECS better

[plucky minnow]

#2 cs

[dim lake]

ok DC_at_CMU

[magic raven]

changed it

[viscid falcon]

What’s WL chances?

[magic raven]

Wheres the berk admitted students server

could anyone send a link

[dim lake]

i dm

[frosty sinew]

rejected instate cs 3.9 uw 1570 sat

[jade crow]

They don’t look at sat

[frosty sinew]

ik just giving context

[naive radish]

context for what lmao

[jade crow]

Ikr 💀

[naive radish]

just wanted to flex 🚶‍♂️

[frosty sinew]

bro

[naive radish]

#4 actually

[olive warren]

Isn’t Berkeley the worst UC school to go to in terms of dorms and safety on campus

[forest cypress]

I’ll become a gunslinger if I have to

[sage berry]

Safety atm is questionable, but dorms are fine

[idle grail]

nah the safety issues are just motivation to get built so its chill

[dawn solstice]

arent there homeless on the campus a lot

[sage berry]

I definitely think safety and lack of attention to individual concerns (academic or otherwise) are the main cons

[dim lake]

soka r u eecs

[naive radish]

I'm CS + Applied Math

[sage berry]

probably more than a private? but it's just off-campus that's an issue

[idle grail]

litr same lmfao

[dim lake]

dis u get in as cs

[idle grail]

quant on top.

[naive radish]

Our dorms are above average tbh

[idle grail]

i thought blackwell was suuupperr chill

[naive radish]

Applied Math, but I declared CS already

[sage berry]

berk person 👀

[sage berry]

damn very cool

math + cs, but I should be declaring cs by this sem 👍

ideally

[naive radish]

Unit 2 >>>>

(not cope)

[dim lake]

u cant declare cs anymore right

[sage berry]

u can

as long as you're CO22>

[naive radish]

Na, not anymore Obama they changed it

we're the last class

[sage berry]

Just for the incoming batches

yeye

[sage berry]

:/

[finite pumice]

Wait how does seeds scholars work

Does everyone get chance to apply

[sage berry]

unit 1 supremacy

[naive radish]

basically the same shit let's be real

LMFAO

[sage berry]

also definitely not cope 😃

[naive radish]

I got invited but I couldn't be asked. I think you have to live with that group or something it's kinda weird

just go on the reddit

[sage berry]

they have bags of their own is all i know about seeds

[naive radish]

Hell no

[sage berry]

BRO Y

[naive radish]

don't vote for that shit they do nothing anyways 💯

[sage berry]

a fellow a2cer is running

former staff too

[naive radish]

🤔

when is the vote anyways

[sage berry]

but i do not disagree to this

april 10-12

[naive radish]

you find housing next year?

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-movie-crying-chris-gif-8008659

[sage berry]

Living on northside, got really lucky cause a friend's roommate is moving out

but finding housing do be 💀

[naive radish]

ic, yea—

[sage berry]

how about you?

[naive radish]

still looking

🚶‍♂️

[tall ibex]

guys do you think that my i should report to berkeley if i reported i got 100 on my transcript but actually its a 99

i didn't reliaze it before

[naive radish]

If you sent your actual transcript then I don't think it matters

[tall ibex]

i mean do they consider it

as lying

lol

and will i get rescinded from that

[naive radish]

At worst they'd assume you rounded up, nothing serious would happen

pretty sure the AOs check your submitted transcript anyways

[tall ibex]

ah

true

[tall wadi]

How hard is it to transfer from Rausser to Haas?

[naive radish]

There is no transfer process to HAAS

you just gotta apply sophmore year

[tall wadi]

Then why are people saying they got in now?

[tall ibex]

can anyone tell me

[naive radish]

This is the first year where you can apply directly I believe

[tall ibex]

what this means

[naive radish]

I think the sophmore process still exists

[tall wadi]

Is it possible to transfer from Rausser to L+S

[sage berry]

yep

[tall wadi]

Like right now or for sophomore year

[naive radish]

what do you want to switch to

[tall wadi]

I got into environmental economics and policy

And would want to change to Econ/undeclared I guess if that’s possible

[naive radish]

Yea that for sure is possible

[tall wadi]

I want to end up at haas hopefully

[naive radish]

just take the Econ requirements and declare you'll be fine

[merry spoke]

Guys, wtf is happening. Did many ppl got accepted from here?

[tall wadi]

But I just don’t understand their process at all, like on the haas undergrad website they made a major map for 4 years for business admin

[merry spoke]

Also so many ivy acceptances

Crazy

[naive radish]

A2C is just cracked

[merry spoke]

Actually tell me

What happened

I was sleeping

[tall wadi]

But I thought you could only do it for 2 years if you’re an ongoing UCBerk student

[merry spoke]

I woke up in the middle of the night

[naive radish]

Your class is the first one where this exists, we got 30+ million funding last year so now they opened a 4 year HAAS program

rather than applying after 2 years

[tall wadi]

Can I do this even if they’ve put me in a major?

[naive radish]

yes

[tall wadi]

Oh shoot I didn’t know about that. That really sucks tbh

I only knew about the GMP thing

[naive radish]

the acceptance rate is probably 3-4%

lmfao

[wary plank]

UCLA is indeed competitive

[wary plank]

Don’t say this

[sage berry]

Oski 🤨

[naive radish]

Oski save me from 126

[tall wadi]

Hahah well at least I got into berkley and might have a chance of transferring to haas

[tall wadi]

So what does it actually mean that I’ve been put in a major? Like if I wanted to could I just take the Econ courses/ business ones if I want to?

[naive radish]

Yes

[tall wadi]

Omg I had no idea

That’s so weird

[sage berry]

thank god i dropped 126

[naive radish]

Just get a 3.0 and you’ll be fine

[tall wadi]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[proven bridge]

im taking 126 next sem

[naive radish]

It’s a fire class

[dapper orchid]

Wooo Berkeley admit!! Would have never thought tbh

[jagged mulch]

my school had a 20% acceptance rate for berkeley applicants last year 🗿

[elfin jackal]

L

[tired pond]

don't mind my stupid question but does Berekely accept Waitlist LOCIs?

[viscid falcon]

^^

[unkempt ocean]

wait both cal and la 🐻

so if i just type 🐻 then ppl wont know which

[hasty totem]

anyone got into both berkeley and ucla?

[grand cave]

[tawdry dune]

I got rejected but my ex got in

I am considering moving to Wyoming and becoming a farmhand at the jeffree star yak farm

[hallow kernel]

[upbeat quest]

[dapper orchid]

damn

What major in marshall @timber copper ?

[dapper orchid]

[idle grail]

[astral fable]

Cal ‘23 here lurking because my little sister’s decisions came out. CONGRATS AND GO BEARS 🐻 🐻 🐻

[ancient heath]

How'd it go for her?

[opaque bobcat]

Is there an admitted student discord?

[upper frost]

Accepted!

[hasty totem]

which major?

[upper frost]

Math

[hasty totem]

anyone got L&S Computer Science?

[tired pond]

the 166 kids lmao

[hasty totem]

Berkeley took only 166 students in L&S Computer Science? How many did Berk take in EECS?

[tired pond]

like 500 something

idk

[hasty totem]

hmm so EECS has higher acceptance rate vs L&S-CS?

is this stats published somewhere?

[tired pond]

yup

check pinned msgs

and eecs is like 4.7% this yr

while L&S CS is 2.9%

Berkeley griefed this yr

[hasty totem]

wow, this is for class of 2026 or class of 2027?

[tired pond]

i think class of 2027?

[hasty totem]

website source?

[naive radish]

wait how is this info out already

lmfao

pretty sure this is 2026

[tired pond]

um idk for sure

@hexed lance yo where did u get the Berkeley L&S data from and what yr is it for?

[naive radish]

That's last year I think

[twin root]

Gyat econ (me) got fucked

[naive radish]

yup that is for sure last year

[hexed lance]

It’s from cal answers.. a database only available to current UCB students

[main plume]

source

[hexed lance]

UC website

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses-majors/berkeley/freshman-admit-data.html

[main plume]

oh i thought it was this year's AR

and benz

can u send l&s data again

[hexed lance]

This years info ain’t out

[hexed lance]

It’s in the pins

[main plume]

wait what is general acceptance rate for letters and sciences

[hexed lance]

Yea if this is 2027 data, we need the source

[main plume]

those are major specific

[hexed lance]

Oh idk

[main stirrup]

does anybody here know about changing majors in Berkeley

[main plume]

is it 850/12601 then

administered programs?

[main stirrup]

I got into Berkeley today, and I want to study math in college

I applied for philosophy major because my college counsellor told me to do that way

[dapper orchid]

How does Berkeley's financial aid work? I have to commit first to see how much I get?

[main stirrup]

I used math as second preferred major, but Idk how changing major works in Berkeley

[past monolith]

Is everyone Letters and Science????

[south minnow]

Cal waitlist please bless me 🙏 🤞

[wraith brook]

nah

[hasty totem]

you can transfer to many majors other than to direct admit majors e.g. CS, EECS, DS, Haas

[main stirrup]

thank you! and I also heard that business school is for 3rd grade in college

[hasty totem]

which major did you get and which one would you like to transfer to?

[past monolith]

So it is possible to be in haas right away?

[wraith brook]

idk

[wraith brook]

its weird

google it now

they change the policy like each year

[past monolith]

Ok thank you

[main stirrup]

I got into UCB by philosophy and I want to study math

and also stats

I am thinking about business, but I am still happy with math

[hasty totem]

i think business will be hard to transfer to as it is a capped major

but math/stats should be ok

[main stirrup]

thank you!

[dapper skiff]

Holy shit I got in

Applied business but got in LS

I’ll take it

[tranquil ermine]

is there a discord for cal?

[late tiger]

^^

How does it work?

I still don’t get it

[merry spoke]

Cool

What is the chance at getting waitlisted?

Getting off*

[late tiger]

and do the people who don’t get into haas and do econ or data science still have a good chance of going into business/tech/consulting?

[charred glen]

[wary oyster]

yall know hwo likely it is to get accepted off the waitlist?

[wraith brook]

Not very likely

11k wait-lists, ~300-400 admits off wait-list

[viscid moon]

😞 rip got wled

[dapper orchid]

In order to review/see your financial aid package you have to commit?!!!??

Wtfff

[pliant linden]

really?

[dapper orchid]

Yeah it says for them to fully give me aid they need additional documents but i access the portal by committing first

[pliant linden]

I see my coa but they didn’t give the fin aid package yet

[dapper orchid]

dude my COA is like $79k 💀

this is what im talking about

[safe horizon]

Nah I see my financial aid and merit

[dapper orchid]

😭😭😭 Berkeley screwed me over brah

[cosmic meteor]

PU USC

[hexed lance]

It’s from cal answers. You won’t have access to the database since it’s only for current ucb students

[cerulean belfry]

ah ok thanks

[inner mirage]

haas gmp or usc marshall for entrepreneurship😭

[hexed lance]

Try #954425230896545792

[safe horizon]

Berkely according to rankings

[inner mirage]

is haas cutthroat and does it take a lot of effort/focus to graduate?

[left sequoia]

no

[inner mirage]

bc i want to allot a lot of time to my startup

[left sequoia]

Anyone got the admission stats

[dapper orchid]

I applied for haas but got L&S

Is HAAS within L&S or separate

[tired pond]

Separate school right?

There may be join programs?

[dapper orchid]

Does your admissions letter tell you if you were admitted to haas?

[tired pond]

Probably

[tired pond]

Yea

[dapper orchid]

Guess I didn’t get into haas 😦

[tired pond]

It says u got L&S

[dapper orchid]

USC it is

[tired pond]

Was ur second choice L&S?

[dapper orchid]

I’ll have to check when I get home

Maybe haas was capped?

[late tiger]

did u put “intending to major in haas”? i don’t think haas directly admits freshmen until next admission cycle

[naive radish]

GMP is a program to get into HAAS directly

[near compass]

how does transferring majors work at berkeley?

bc i got admitted L&S and im intending to major in applied math

[viscid moon]

just take the required classes and then declare it

[late tiger]

oh i meant for like regular bus admin not gmp

[near compass]

i mean even capped majors tho?

like L&S cs seems impossible to transfer into

or going to another school

[lament fractal]

If u were admitted to L&S and selected a capped or high demand major as your first choice on your app, you’re guaranteed a spot in it

[near compass]

yeah i did applied math at the time bc i lwk didnt like cs as much :/

so is transferring gonna be hard?

[lament fractal]

CS is a high demand major so ye it’s not guaranteed. Idk exactly how hard it is

[dapper orchid]

What about haas?

[lament fractal]

Transferring from LS to HAAS? Prob quite difficult

[dapper orchid]

I heard if you intended a capped major and got L&S, you’re able to declare that major once you meet the requirements

[lament fractal]

Yea this

[left sequoia]

I haven’t been able to find any stats relating admission

[lament fractal]

https://admissions.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/First-Years-New-High-Demand-Majors-Policy.pdf

[lament fractal]

From pinned messages, 10.4% acceptance rate

[cloud cypress]

haas is a grad school

if u got into letter and science it means you are guaranteed your major that u picked on your application

once u graduate, u can apply to haas grad school

youll have a higher chance in getting in

in college of letter and science consists of people who plan on majoring cs, econ, stats, art, etc… but you need to complete your prerequiste to claim it

which is 2 years

[cloud cypress]

and this is the policy they established for this years admissions, people who picked the high demand major in their application will be guaranteed their major after completing the prerequiste

before, if u have failied to hold a certain gpa or grades u would get kicked out

so now they changed it which is good

😎👍

[subtle dew]

can someone slide me the berk discord

[viscid falcon]

Is there a waitlist essay/LOCI for Berkeley?

[solemn sleet]

Same

[dapper orchid]

Im confused

so this is what I chose, how are some people getting into haas as an undergrad?

[cloud cypress]

huhhhh

idkk

but haas is a business grad school

[left sequoia]

Anyone not meet the conditions of admission?

[mystic silo]

I think haas has undergrad programs

[cloud cypress]

then how come when i applied i didnt see any major like that? :0

weirdff

[dapper orchid]

are you sure?

I mean I selected business

[mystic silo]

haas has multiple bs degrees. The application is common. you should see the same majors..

[cloud cypress]

ohhh prob its different for me so i looked it up and it says i cant apply to haas for freshman, i need to apply to econ major then by my sophomore year i apply to haad

haas

ohhh i have to complete the prerequistes to get into haad

haas

[cloud cypress]

u first need to complete your prerequistes

[cloud cypress]

ur technically guaranteed to get into haas once u finish ur prereqs

[dapper orchid]

ehhh

thats like 2 years

so long

[tall wadi]

Can you do the prereqs if you’re not in L+S

[cloud cypress]

depends on ur major?

since i have econ major im prob taking econ 1 &2

also intro

but u have to look into what classes r available for u from the major u got into

[tall wadi]

I got into Environmental Econ and policy

[cloud cypress]

then i do not think so but u should try researching more

cause econ and environment econ is very different

check what courses they provide for that major

[tall wadi]

Yeah I fucked up w the course choice 💀 I thought it was something completey different

[cloud cypress]

ahhh i see well not sure how it will plan out the way u wanted it to be but u can always try switching major later in the years. Its very competitve though cause they are high demand majors.

[tall wadi]

Doubt I’m going to berk anyways so I was really just wondering! Thanks tho

[low anvil]

berk told me to get a 60k parent plus loan 🥰😍

[cloud cypress]

ahh okayy npp

[dapper orchid]

ummm

ummmmmmmm

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[cloud cypress]

u need to send in ur ap scores for 3 or higher

[dapper orchid]

yeah stem aint my thing tbh

[near compass]

hm what ab applied math?

[cloud cypress]

idk for that one

[near compass]

hm

so wait

[dapper orchid]

thats what ive been hearing

[near compass]

hm

idk i was set on doing applied math at berk

and in between applying and now

i've lwk become a lot more interested in cs/engineering

but kinda sad i didn't apply for it and scared i wont be able to transfer once im in

[fathom canyon]

How do I find my CalnetID?

I already paid my deposit

[dapper orchid]

you committed?

[fathom canyon]

Mhm

[dapper orchid]

im assuming your email

[fathom canyon]

It says there will be a link in Cal Central but when I go in it

I honestly don’t know where tf it is

Ah nvm

Found it

[topaz sierra]

hi

[cloud cypress]

yes!

[topaz sierra]

can someone send me admitted server plz

[cloud cypress]

uhh maybe ask in columbia chat?

[topaz sierra]

lmao nah for berk

i haven’t actually committed anywhere

[cloud cypress]

oh ok well

idk how to send link but u can just look up uc berkeley discord on reddit

theres a ton

[topaz sierra]

okok thanks

[cloud cypress]

its possible but very competitive and selective now

[near compass]

yeah and that’s lwk a huge rush

risk

northwestern i got in for engineering

but berkeley has been a dream of mine

[strange idol]

guys I'm in for engineering math and stats

in the CoE

can I transfer to eecs easily?

[tall ibex]

BRO WE CHOSE THE SAME FIRST MAJOR

[dapper skiff]

Same lol

Admitted to LS tho idk how this works at all

[tall ibex]

SAME

bruh

i am confused here as well

[dapper skiff]

This is so weird

[tall ibex]

lsbe kids crying rn

[dapper skiff]

Ion know what that means ngl😭

I been reading all over for hours about how this LS admission works and I still haven’t figured it out

Why the gotta make it so confusing

[tall ibex]

why the heck i can't send what LSBE means to this server

like

i got blocked

Life Sceincis Busines and entreprnooship

yah

this will work

lmao

[dapper skiff]

Ahh

Yeah

😭😭😭

Man I actually can’t wait to go I visited campus two years ago and thought it was impossible to get in

[tall ibex]

u got in yesterday or early?

[dapper skiff]

Yesterday

[tall ibex]

ah

ok

um

[dapper skiff]

I got 3 Ivy rejections and accepted here

😭

[tall ibex]

I emailed the LSBE ppl alr bcs i was accepted early

[dapper skiff]

Oh shit nice

[tall ibex]

and they basically said we are not guaranteed a position in the LSBE major

so what's even the point

[dapper skiff]

Dang

[tall ibex]

of intending that major

i srsly don't get it

[dapper skiff]

I would not mind majoring in like econ but I’m sure that’s attached to haas too

It’s so weird

[tall ibex]

tbh i would rather drop this lsbe thing and go for econ

pure econ

[dapper skiff]

Yeah

Or even something in finance

Not sure tho

[tall ibex]

this is just stupid ngl

like

what is the benefit fofr me stating i intend to pursue biobiz if at the end i'm not guaranteed anything and gets into the undeclared pool

[dapper skiff]

bio biz? Similar as well😭

Agribusiness probably

[tall ibex]

bruh

what are you guys possibly blocking from those four words

[dapper skiff]

No life allowed at Berkeley

[tall ibex]

u decided to commit to berkeley already>

?

[dapper skiff]

Most likely

It’s either Berkeley UNC or usc

And I’m getting essentially no fin aid from any of them

So

[tall ibex]

um

what happens to the rest lmao

why lsbe only 25

[modest junco]

Do u guys know if housing guaranteed first year

[dapper orchid]

holy crap

probably why we didnt get in lol

those kids with their startups and non profits got it

i took CAL off my list anyways

hopefully someone on the WL will take my spot

GL

[tall ibex]

the photo i uploaded is haas only

[proven bridge]

Yes

[modest junco]

Thank u!

[proven bridge]

When the housing apps come out just make sure to select “any housing” somewhere in your preference list

[modest junco]

Hey guys! Who all have gotten into UC Berkeley?

Who all got in for eng at ucb

[magic raven]

got in for EECS

[astral fable]

L&S CS clears

[magic raven]

goofy ahh major

CoE solos L&S

[astral fable]

blud gotta take goofy ass physics classes 😭

[sly thorn]

Guyss I am really confused bout the letters of arts and sciences did anyone apply for English?

Anyone committed?

[astral fable]

You got in for college of letters & science?

[sly thorn]

Yeah haha

[astral fable]

You have to pass pre reqs to declare English, everyone except for the 12 in demand majors doesn’t have a guaranteed spot in their intended majors

[sly thorn]

Ohh I see

[unique ether]

So I have a guaranteed spot in my major if I’m in one of the 12?

[astral fable]

I think so, it’s what their new policy says

Portal sucks though and it doesn’t specify

But that’s how it should work

[astral fable]

To be eligible to declare a major in English, the student must have completed (with a letter grade):

at least 30 units
the L & S Reading and Composition requirement
two major requirements:
1. English 45A or 45B,

             2. English 45A, 45B, 45C, 90, or Shakespeare.

[sly thorn]

Thank you so much

[rose meteor]

is there a discord server just for UC Berkeley students?

[lament fractal]

if u selected a capped major as your first choice and were admitted to L&S, you’re guaranteed it

[unique ether]

Yesssss

[radiant egret]

Hi, I got rejected from Berkeley. Is there any scope if I send across an appeal?

I got some cool updates but still not sure if it’s worth it

[dapper orchid]

are you sure?

ive heard a mixture of things

especially for Haas

[lament fractal]

What I said has nothing to do with HAAS

[lament fractal]

https://admissions.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/First-Years-New-High-Demand-Majors-Policy.pdf

L&S, not Haas

[dapper orchid]

oh mb

i read wrong

[solar oar]

Can you find your major anywhere on the cal website? It literally only shows I got into L&S

I applied for Econ and idk if I got it since it’s an impacted major

[lament fractal]

We were just talking about it (scroll up). If you selected the capped major as your first choice in the application and were admitted to L&S, you’re guaranteed a spot in the first choice major you selected

@solar oar

[dapper skiff]

I applied for LSBE in Haas and I got in for L&S do I count as “pre-Haas” or how does that work

[sly thorn]

Guys have any of y’all committed?

I just committed yest

[dapper orchid]

I think those are only for majors within L&S

[dapper orchid]

iirc, youd have to transfer from L&S to Haas, which is difficult

could be totally wrong tho

[dapper skiff]

Yep couple hours ago

[dapper skiff]

Oh shoot I hope not

I heard only GMP students got into haas now as freshman everyone else can get in sophomore year at earliest

[lament fractal]

as we already established... we were talking about l&s

as the title of the document reads "NEW HIGH DEMAND MAJORS POLICY FROM
THE COLLEGE OF LETTERS & SCIENCE"

[dapper orchid]

Aight bro

[lament fractal]

sorry that prob read harshly but I thought we agreed it was l&s right before u sent that message 😭

[past monolith]

How will we know the new chances of the interest change pathway

Or will class of 2027 be the test subjects

[sly thorn]

Samee!

[dapper skiff]

Let’s gooooooo🤝

[sly thorn]

Ayyy Yayy congratsss!!

[astral fable]

Is it possible to appeal for aid as an oos student?!

[cloud cypress]

[astral fable]

Is UC Berkeley worth it as an oos?

[magic raven]

whats the total eecs enrollment at cal?

per year

[hexed lance]

Idk about enrollment, but the admit rate is in the pins

[hexed lance]

Not really

[glossy lava]

Anyone kno what it means by “good academic standing” to be guaranteed my major

[unique ether]

No I tried

[unique ether]

And it depends what your in state is

[lament fractal]

Guessing it’s just decent grades (3.0+ gpa) and you’re not failing miserably

[glossy lava]

3.0 iseems p high tho

[lament fractal]

before declaring I think its not bad

After it’s prob harder

[astral fable]

Oh shit damn. Im from NY, would it be possible?

[astral fable]

I’ve heard that if you applied to 2 high demand majors you need to call and ask which accepted you

Currently praying waiting til the phone opens tomorrow

[unique ether]

It’s not possible to get aid unfortunately

Especially as an oos student

It might be worth it tho depending on where else you got in

[round prism]

anybody get a physical letter/package?

im really hoping they send one

i need stickers 😈

[lament fractal]

source? their policies imply the first choice is given https://admissions.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/First-Years-New-High-Demand-Majors-Policy.pdf

Obviously, it could just be an intern replying to emails with no clue but 🤷‍♂️

dyk if someone who gets in for l&s data sci can double maj in l&s cs?

I want onee of those stickers too haha

Idts cause Cs has a limited number of seats

Guys are any of y’all doing the IB?

[grave root]

yes

[sly thorn]

Is there any particular IB score we need to get?

[grave root]

just don’t drop too much from the grades u submitted, id say if ur +- 3 or 4 points max it should be fine

[sly thorn]

okay okay

[grave root]

still do the best u can tho

u never know, it’s always useful

[sly thorn]

Oh yeah ofc

[sly thorn]

Yeah def

Cause I think it gives extra college credits too

What are ur subjects

For IB

[grave root]

yeah defo

don’t know about berkeley but elsewhere yea

[grave root]

HL maths physics econ
SL chem french A LL eng A LL

u?

[sly thorn]

Oh nicee

We have couple of similar subs😂

Eco hl math hl and eng hl

Chem sl french sl and thwatre sl

theatre*

[grave root]

that’s actually quite similar lmao

[sly thorn]

That’s whatt haha

[hasty totem]

Not sure but doubt it. L&S drastically cut CS admits in last 2 years, e.g. they admitted only 90-95 students to CS this year via direct admit which i believe is the only path to major in CS at L&S.

[viscid falcon]

Does Berkeley take a lot of intl of people off waitlist (to get more $)?

[solemn sleet]

I don’t think they consider that

[sly thorn]

Guyss quick question are any of y’all from Mumbai who are committed to ucb?

[upbeat orbit]

indian but not from mumbai

[shrewd sable]

how do you know what major you got admitted for Letters and Sciences, is it based off the first-choice major you put on UC App

[spring raft]

is there a accceptance package

anything nice?

[simple grail]

any turkish bears??

[spring raft]

is there a disc for '27

[astral fable]

If you had a high demand major probably. But everyone goes into L&S undeclared

[unique ether]

If I applied for a high demand major I go in with that major though right?

Like I go in?
