UC Berkeley (2024-2025)

[noble quiver]

They’re really not beating the abg allegations….

[granite dune]

💀

[noble quiver]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an abg before but like yesterday was a treasure trove

[granite dune]

Berkeley is nothing compared to Irvine and some of the others lmaoo

[noble quiver]

They don’t call UCI university of Chinese immigration for nothing

[sweet summit]

well id be assuming i could take a few grad level courses later on

depending on how smart.i am

community environment etc

relationships w profs

[sweet summit]

but at the same time i dont think im smart enought to compete w the best there 😭

[noble quiver]

well the fact that you got into both rice and berkely is enoguh to show that you are extremely capable

[noble quiver]

berkeley defintley does not have an open nor flexible enrollment option if youre looking for that

[sweet summit]

and i can easily double major in anything at rice

even if its not in the same college

same can't be said for berkeley...

[sweet summit]

im just not an incredibly stemmy person

so to compete with those types

i might be a little behind

[noble quiver]

yeahhh thats one of the reasons why im consdierng berkeley for grad or law school instead

[noble quiver]

whats ur major

[sweet summit]

exactly

and ive heard it can be a lil more grad focused

but idk

[sweet summit]

applied math for both

and i can do math above average

but im not a very stemmy person as who i am

if yk what i mean

[noble quiver]

yeah me neither

but i think as long as you take the time to learn

cuz u have great potential

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1jsz6hz/uc_berkeley_coincidence/ also did this happen to anyone too

i was rejected from ucla and uci, waitlisted from ucsb and ucsd so i was totally shocked when i got accepted

[plain hare]

Let’s trade

[jolly relic]

can someone tell me how ap credits transfer

i have like a TON of ap exams that meet the berkeley ap credits

how does it work

[sweet summit]

lol thank you

[sweet summit]

what are you majoring in?

[main prawn]

nah i also got into ucsd and uci both first choice major/college

maybe this is for in state 😭 ? im oos so

[woven cypress]

did you commit

do you have access to calcentral

[jolly relic]

yes

[jolly relic]

yes

i submitted all my scores

[woven cypress]

do you have access to the academic progress report

[jolly relic]

where is that

can we talk in dm

[woven cypress]

on my academics

scroll down

click on view degree requirements and progress

[woven cypress]

https://lsadvising.berkeley.edu/degree-requirements go to this website and scroll through the different requirements

it'll tell you if you can waive stuff w ap

and then do the same thing for your major

[rancid spoke]

is there anyone here who has NOT found a roommate yet?

bro istg the vast majority of people i've chatted with on insta already have roommates

[woven cypress]

keep looking! if you follow a lot of berkeley people off the co'29 pages you'll get more in your recommended who haven't posted there. thats how my roommate found me even though i never posted on any of the pages!

[rancid spoke]

yup i do follow a lot of people from those pages! it's just that some of them don't follow me back, some of the ones that do don't message me back, and with the remaining it fizzles out

i'll keep trying but i think i might have to go random then

[woven cypress]

i know what you mean, its a hard process

hopefully it works out for you but i know people who've gone random and ended up being best friends so not a bad choice!

[main prawn]

nah i haven’t either

i haven’t really been looking

[noble quiver]

Me either I might just do random

[short tusk]

Hey yall

I currently found a roommate but if you’re interested in doing a CK triple dm me

We’re looking for a 3rd

We plan ranking the following

Ck triple +
Ck triple
Unit 1 triple
Unit 2 triple
Any

[jagged obsidian]

Guys I’m just curious what’s the point of finding roommate earlier?

Isn’t random person on discord equally random as randomly distributed

[brave lichen]

They prob gonna talk to the person on disc to see if they’d be good roommates

[jagged obsidian]

hmmm i guess

imma just let fate decide 🤞

[brave lichen]

Damn good luck

[tropic basin]

has anyone gotten appeal decision

[obsidian crescent]

Twin sisters both IN!! one for ChemE and other other Political Economics. 🙌🏻

[winter widget]

congrats!!

[short tusk]

We don’t want a stinky roommate

[mint river]

@dreamy arrow im curious what's ur math major pathway looking like at cal rn?

[dreamy arrow]

I’ve taken grad analysis I, grad algebra, diff top, alg top, and currently im taking grad analysis II, grad compelx analysis, riemannian geometry, commutative algebra

berkeley is very laid back with skipping classes and doesnt enforce prereqs so its very nice

[plain hare]

[frail flame]

Question...

is it easier to go from cc into eecs or cdss?
ping me if yk

[mint river]

oh that's super cool. Apparently, UT's math dept is also supposed to be very chill with enforcing prereqs, but the CNS (college of nat sci) pressured them and recently they began enforcing prereqs for upper div math classes.

is your whole schedule math classes? at least for me im balancing between CS cores and math UDs/grad classes for the first 2 years

F1: Real Analysis I, Abstract Algebra I -> S1: Topology I, Probability I -> F2: Grad Alg 1, Grad Alg Topo -> S2: Grad Complex Anly, Grad Diff Topo, Grad Alg 2 -> F3: Grad Real Anly

those are all the PhD prelim classes

[dreamy arrow]

Yeah, I’ve had a GE class in each semester but besides that only math

Yeah your schedule seems reasonable

[frail flame]

por favor

[alpine galleon]

I have no clue but if i had to guess eecs would be easier than cdss cs

[woven cypress]

yeah probably eecs

[mint river]

dang i remember EECS used to be way more competitive back when my cousin was applying for college

(7 ish years ago)

[jolly relic]

how competitive is cdss

how hard is it really to transfer from lns to cdss

whats the percentage

[inner niche]

how tough it is it to transfer from ds to cs or coe or double major in cs

i needa do one of those 3

[jolly relic]

also for rooming

it says "Your roommate group has been verified."

what does that mean

does it mean its all set or what

[tropic basin]

nearly impossible

double majoring is the only possible one out of those three

but i heard they stopped that after this year

but im not sure

maybe they didnt

[unique bridge]

does submitting housing application earlier help?

or does it not matter as long as its before deadline?

[inner niche]

it shifted to comprehensive review

but theres no data on it cuz its their first year doing it

im not sure if i should take berkeley ds or go to cmu dietrich bc u can guaranteed get a cs double major as long as u mantain a 3.0 there

im leaning berkeley rn but i might be shooting myself in the foot

[tropic basin]

if ur dead set on cs i would do cmu

[narrow dagger]

Successfully convinced someone to commit to the number 1 university instead of this school 🔥

Jk y’all r awesome

ruby where were u waitlisted on ivy day :0

[plain hare]

When appeal decisions

[narrow dagger]

Dartmouth Berkeley and Duke

I also did not apply to all ivies

[narrow dagger]

Real

[noble quiver]

everyone knows the best school is UC Hicago 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥

[narrow dagger]

Should have committed there 😔

[latent pilot]

guys if i drop my physics C would i get rescinded

it doesnt affect my graduation status

[woven cypress]

this

[woven cypress]

coe transfer should be fine, not eecs though

[inner niche]

how tough is it for non eecs? n whats the process

[woven cypress]

not too sure will depend on major, search up berkeley coe transfer

think its just gpa + prereqs?

[signal parrot]

would they allow me to double major in IEOR and EECS?

currently waitlisted for IEOR and my plan was to double major in IEOR and EECS

i saw like tons of ppl on linkedin doing that combo

[woven cypress]

uhhhhhh i think so

[hardy ermine]

you can transfer into coe fr?

[woven cypress]

yeah

[hardy ermine]

i thought that would be like impossible

[inner niche]

Same can u please elaborate 😭

[narrow dagger]

Once you’re in coe can’t you transfer to EECs?

[woven cypress]

you can only transfer into eecs if it's your first transfer

[woven cypress]

https://engineering.berkeley.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/change-of-college/

[woven cypress]

hard not impossible

but don't bank on it

[narrow dagger]

Ohh

[jagged obsidian]

Guys isn’t it so dumb that digital sat isn’t recognized for the ELWR

When the normal is?

Old* one

[cinder cairn]

Objectively the new short reading passages are dogshit while the old long reading passages are prolly more indicative of english mastery

[jagged obsidian]

But it’s not like we have the choice which to do

[vital coral]

well uc berkeley doesn't take sat iirc

[rocky dew]

If I got out of the ucla waitlist how probable is it that I get off Berkeley?

[jagged obsidian]

The real question is why is Berkeley acceptance rate higher than ucla

[vital coral]

admissions are independent

[vital coral]

because ucla is better

[jagged obsidian]

💀💀💀

[vital coral]

its true

[jagged obsidian]

Aren’t like most people convinced Berkeley is better at every subject except med

[jovial wolf]

Indeed

Better at cutting homeless people in half too

[main prawn]

no to get out of the writing assessment i think

[main prawn]

some people might not apply to berkeley because of the reputation that it is really hard academically and stuff

ucla has more of a “fun” vibe to it

but there’s plenty of majors at berkeley that have much lower acceptance rates than ucla

[brave lichen]

I’d choose UCLA for an arts degree

😶‍🌫️

[vernal flame]

A

[vital coral]

real

im polisci i got into both and id pick ucla

but berkeley stem might be unmatched

[woven cypress]

berkeley also has a really strong activism culture if that appeals to you

im also polsci and i picked berkeley bc i wanted a stem + soc sci interdisciplinary education

[tropic basin]

when is berkeley appeal coming out

[little sparrow]

Not anytime soon

[woven cypress]

ping

[vital coral]

this is true as well tbh

[woven cypress]

yeah comes down to what you want

[vital coral]

yeah i mean i love berkeley it was my dream school for a solid three years

[narrow dagger]

UCLA does too I didn’t realize how big it was till I came here

[polar smelt]

is there a difference between unit 1 and unit 2?

[woven cypress]

unit 1 is closer

by like 1 block

but apart from that no

[polar smelt]

thanks

Roommate Survey time

• Are you still looking for a roommate (if yes but not at Berkeley where at)
• If yes, would you consider rooming with someone you met off A2C

Workings of It

You would likely make a forum post in a dedicated forum channel similar to #954425230896545792 with a bit about yourself. Personal info rules of the server would still apply, so you couldn’t post your igs or photos of yourself in this forum, but you’d be free to send them out to those you’re possibly interested in rooming with in DMs. Similar to other sites, A2C would also not be responsible for how well your roommate matching goes. We’d also recommend you ask for proof of someone attending the school you’re going to so you can make sure they’re legit, but just like those roommate matching ig pages, that responsibility would fall fully on you
<@&798036634129530890> <@&786570626990866453>

I am asking here bc there seems to be a lot of you

[noble quiver]

honestly yes to both

[desert pewter]

yes/depends

[brave lichen]

can i make multiple groups for berkeley housing

like a group for a person id want to do a double with for my first choice

[trim ruin]

Elaborate on the depends

[brave lichen]

and another group for a 2nd choice for a triple

[desert pewter]

actually

I'd consider it yeah

the same as id consider anyone else

[lost flame]

Not actively looking for a roommate, but I'd consider the thought of rooming with an A2C member (as long as they're not @fathom oracle)

[agile onyx]

yes to both!

ucla^

[fathom oracle]

Fine with me I don't like living with children

[serene tusk]

yes to both

[vocal agate]

Yes to both! USC

[winter widget]

not actively looking but i wouldn't mind (ucsd)

[lost flame]

I'm your favorite child though (pause)

[fathom oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-saul-goodman-my-gif-25351358

[stoic warren]

yes i'm still looking for a roommate

i might room with someone from A2C depending on their interests and major

might go random tho idk

[unkempt imp]

oh yes to both as well, this roommate finding business is hard. (not for berk but usc)

[vocal agate]

which dorms did you apply for?

[unkempt imp]

I did mostly traditional residential halls!
birnkrant
pardee
marks
mccarthy
webb

[mossy fractal]

yes to both but northwestern

[high hollow]

this seems like a good idea, would it be one big forum or multiple forums separated by college?

[trim ruin]

College wouldn’t be possible bc there are so many and I can’t count the interest rate of each one beforehand

I need to discuss more w team but it’d likely be single forum where you’d put school name in title

So then people can search bar it

[high hollow]

oh makes sense

[trim ruin]

And then maybe we’d have a few tags for more universal stuff

[high hollow]

i was worried that colleges would be drowned out, but if you can filter specifically for a college that would work

[trim ruin]

Idk if you’ve ever searched for threads in this channel but it’d just be like that

So it’s a bit wonky in terms of how you need to type a full word for it to show

[high hollow]

icic

[crystal zinc]

Okay I’m doubting my commitment

I love Berkeley

but

Bio pre med

but ucla won’t let me minor in art like I want

And Berkeley is cheaper

but grade deflation

[signal parrot]

meow

[woven cypress]

what major did you get in for

a lot of premeds do rausser

[crystal zinc]

I’m microbio

So letters and sciences

Berkeley gave me solidly 10k more plus work study of 5k

but they don’t have guaranteed housing

[woven cypress]

ahh

would you consider switching to rausser

and have you talked to people in microbio

[woven cypress]

this is a huge W

[woven cypress]

true but most people are able to find housing pretty easily if you start early + have a good roommate group and know what you're looking for

also almost everybody i know who applied got a housing offer from the university, even though a lot of people ended up turning it down due to finding off campus housing

[crystal zinc]

Okay good to know

I don’t know if I’ll be stunted from being in la for college as well as for high school

But lowkey scared of Berkeley I hear bad things about competition and premed

and how much free time I would have

How hard is it to get in to a co-op housing group

[crystal zinc]

Yes if I’m able

Berkeley I applied to on a whim so I did not fully figure out major pros and cons

then it became a dream school and then it became logically a worse option and then it was cheaper

[woven cypress]

so real

[woven cypress]

would not rec co-ops i've heard the housing conditions are baaaaaad

[woven cypress]

i think its what you make of it! can definitely find all kinds of people here but thats true of every college so

[woven cypress]

also depends on your own schedule/commitments

[wintry nest]

Ngl, I mean depends on what. I thought of that but there’s a lot of resources. They gave out mcat books for free today and, there’s a lot of clubs willing to help you grow

[frail flame]

[green moon]

guys im fine if im cancelling one ap exam right

i was planning to self study it but ended up not...what should i say on the update form LOL (or is it safer to just take it and bomb??)

[green moon]

also is there a transfer table for non california colleges

[signal parrot]

i dont think they care

[polar smelt]

is this happening for anyone else..

[supple maple]

is that the portal

[polar smelt]

housing portal

nvm i got it back!

[wintry nest]

Did a housing offer drop today? If so that usually happens

[ember cove]

BRO it was like that yesterday too

the housing portal lowkey sucks

[ember cove]

todays the housing deadline

[wintry nest]

Ah-

[simple lantern]

yeah i couldnt get in for like 3 days so i just did it in school where there was less traffic

[polar smelt]

when do housing offers usually come out?

[quasi quartz]

i dont understand berkeley's Entry Level Writing Evaluation evaluation

Do i need an A in a college course or can i just be a school course

cuz i took AP lang and got an A

but i didnt take the test

[wintry nest]

has to be a college course

[inner niche]

wondering the same thing

[polar smelt]

maybe u can pass thru sat score if u have one?

[quasi quartz]

I have a 710 but it’s digital 😭

I don’t think they take digital

[polar smelt]

ohhh yeah true

[supple maple]

guys apparently someone got off WL 👀 i saw a TikTok where they said they got off

idk if sending the link is doxxing/against the rules but feel free to DM me for the link

[winter widget]

did u score high on the ap lang test

[short tusk]

College course or 3 on test

[short tusk]

They didn’t take it

[jagged obsidian]

IB language A is accepted I think

[somber umbra]

does it matter if i flop my ap tests?

[brave tendon]

is anyone able to help me kinda plan my courseload(especially for the math courses)? Microbial biology major on a premed track btw! I have no idea which major requirements i can skip with AP credit and if I can even skip any ;-;

[narrow dagger]

Avoid skipping any med school recs (I.e. bio, chem, etc) unless you’re taking upper div classes in that subject

[jolly relic]

asking this too

[torpid flower]

If you did well on the AP courses/exam, went to a good high school that taught the subject, and the class is not notorious for deflation (you will have to rely on word of mouth from upperclassmen), you should not skip any premed prereqs. You really won't be saving any time as a premed by skipping, and you will want to boost your sGPA and cGPA as much as possible for the AMCAS application. However, of all the STEM classes that you can skip, math is most skippable if needed (i.e. your school's math class is heavily deflated). Many medical schools do not have math as a hard prereq, and of those that do, you can usually apply anyways. There have been many students in the past that have gone straight through (applied junior summer) with AP credits in math, been provisionally accepted to a school that requires math, and were simply asked to take a math class their senior year. However, if you can just take it at your school or at a nearby easier four year during the summer or even during the school year, that would be the best.

[torpid flower]

as a side note, try to avoid taking too many of the core prereqs all at once if you can. While getting a bad grade in a core like genchem or orgo is not the end of the world, you should try to set yourself up for success and take them one at a time in succession. In particular, the chemistry pathway should probably be taken one at a time. I would personally avoid taking biochem and orgo in the same semester/quarter. However, this is school dependent, and I don't/didn't go to Cal, just take my words as general advice.

[brave tendon]

thank you so much for your replies!!!

[green moon]

wait is orgo not a prereq for biochem

[torpid flower]

It might be at Cal, I don't know. At many universities, it is not. I have seen some students take orgo and biochem concurrently in order to rush straight through to medical school. It rarely makes for a better application, but many people have different priorities and that's okay.

[green moon]

yeah that seems like it would not end well

even i dont have to do that as a chem major gobbless

[noble quiver]

i just called the admission soffice

The waitlist process has not started yet, and no one has been taken off yet. The AO said they will definitely go to the waitlist though, but he said there’s a guaranteed response by August 1st, and they take people off in waves. There is no distinction between in-state and out of state students when making waitlist decisions, that’s not something they look at. They also don’t look at which school in UC Berkeley they applied to when making waitlist decisions, so that doesn’t matter.

[winter widget]

what the fuck lmao

[noble quiver]

yeah

[azure badge]

Current Berkeley students, I got into Bowles Hall but haven't heard back from regular housing and Bowles wants an answer by Monday so I'm speed running trying to research while comparing it to like u3 triple.

Could anyone tell me more about Bowles and maybe give me like pros and cons?

Obviously I know it costs a lot more but was wondering if anyone could tell me if it would be my money's worth.
I'm a Meche major so being near the engineering buildings is def a plus for me and hopefully people are social in Bowles bc I heard foothill is more quiet which I wasn't the biggest fan of.
Thanks!

[faint trail]

so i have a chance!

[wintry nest]

I have friends in bowels and it’s amazing. Like good socialization, they have their own dinning hall that is good. Unit 3…it’s its own world, but if price isn’t a factor, Bowles

[rotund ravine]

🙏 🙏 🙏 😭 😭 😭 bruh my committed college starts like aug 13

[signal parrot]

that last part makes sense tho since its just based on yield for the specific major you applied for right?

[azure badge]

Any chance I could connect with some of your friends from Bowles?

[wintry nest]

Yeah, send me a DM

[azure badge]

Thank you so much!

[brave tendon]

guys just making sure, theres no chance of them rescinding me for failing one ap test right? (even getting a 0)

[dreamy arrow]

Just don’t report it

[brave tendon]

but its one of my admissions tasks ;-;

[winter widget]

little to no chance, yes

[dreamy arrow]

Oh wait idk then, I think what I did was submit a form that I wasn’t taking some of the APs I said I would be and it got taken off my task list

In that case yeah I don’t think anything significant will happen from it

[main prawn]

the lowest you can get is a 1 dw

but yeah no the only thing is that you won’t get credit for it if you don’t pass

[brave tendon]

tysm! i wanna just not take the physics exam but my parents r making me ;-;

[brave tendon]

ok thank you!!!

[main prawn]

HOLY REAL.

[jagged pulsar]

they definitely will not

colleges don’t weigh failing ap scores super heavily as long as you did well in the actual class because they know that students’ performances on an hours-long exam (esp. when sometimes students take multiple in one day) are not indicative of their actual potential for college courses

especially for physics considering more than half of the people who took it last year failed lol

[brave tendon]

tysm!!

[brave tendon]

why is physics 1 pass rate so low 😭

mines physics c tho

[jagged pulsar]

np!! i’m ngl this was a massive factor in me choosing to not do APs my senior year because i knew i would not gaf once i had already committed to a school lol

[brave tendon]

same i litearlly skipped my calc exam today cuz i just didnt have the motivation to get my 4 to a 5 😭 and also MY MAJOR DOESNT EVEN TAKE PHYSICS C CREDIT 😭

[dreamy arrow]

I don’t know if they look at it like this and I think you’re correct about the net impact it has on your decisions, but “hours-long exams” are literally how you get your grades in college from your finals and midterms unless you’re taking some silly GE class

[jagged pulsar]

the vast majority of college exams are not 4 hours long tho lol

and there’s also a massive margin for error when the test is standardized but each individual class isn’t so students come in from very different backgrounds and levels of preparedness

[dreamy arrow]

They are 3 hours at Berkeley

[dreamy arrow]

Everyone has access to the material and unless there are some extreme circumstances (like your school being absolutely horrible or you having literally no time to study) you would be learning the material in school and having enough time to study it

And I’d wager that most people on A2C don’t come from 2/10 high schools or anything like that

[jagged pulsar]

idk why this is turning into a debate but i went to hs in appalachia and had to self-study for all of my APs lol

[dreamy arrow]

Sorry I’m not trying to draw it out or anything I just wanted to make a comment

Anyway I won’t continue the discussion if you don’t want to ig

Huge mistake

[inner niche]

same am i cooked

[lime lichen]

hi guys so i am v scared lol

im out of state and im going to do FPF

for context

i am just worried bc i reported some of my courses as full year and stuff when it shows up on my transcript as 0.5

0.5 credits (?)

i was wondering if anyone knows how strict they are - is this something i need to submit an update for ? I've sent an update previously with my unofficial transcript for review

im specifically asking bc ik ppl who are rescinded for example are mostly students who misreport on thier uc app

[lime lichen]

i dont think theres a good way to predict obviously how strict something/someone is but if anyone can answer from what u know that would be helpful

[supple maple]

they def won't rescind you for something like this but i think you should submit an update

i think it's a fairly common mistake esp for OOS students

[lime lichen]

thank uu

[mint river]

i’ve seen people get rescinded from UCLA for similar things so

[plain hare]

when do appeal decisions come out

[brave tendon]

just making sure, housing hasnt come out yet right

[agile onyx]

im p sure it has for anyone who submitted before 5/2

[brave tendon]

wait it has 😭

how do we see our assignment?

should be the same place u submitted

They take a while😭

[supple maple]

omg that’s insane 💀😭

why would that lead to a rescind though

is it bc it affects gpa calculations or something

[jagged obsidian]

when are we expecting Berkeley housing offers to come out?

It’s an optional fee that helps out UC student govs

[polar smelt]

hmm i see

do i need to do anything about it? it’s weird that it appeared overdue when i didn’t even have access to the portal then

[trim ruin]

You need to either opt in or out I’d assume

i think if you opt out you cant ever run for the student gov

sorry if this was asked before, but do yall recommend doing l&s first-year pathways or nah

[woven cypress]

i've never done it myself nor do i know anybody who has but looking on the website it does seem interesting

i will say first make a spreadsheet and list down all your major(s) requirements and then gen eds and see if it would be useful for you or a waste of time

bc at least for me a lot of major requirements overlapped with breadth requirements so i didnt have to take separate breadth courses

but also if the classes are interesting to you like go for it lol
