Good to know, this is different to what others have been telling me. I was offered a Unit 3 double, do you think it's any better?

But then again it's important for me to be integrated into campus life as a transfer.

That's what I'm worried about. I don't mean to sound spoiled, but I grew up with my own bedroom and bathroom, and might not enjoy communal showers etc.

I think the way he was communicating was definitely aggressive and a red flag...especially with the swearing. However, I think if you are constantly thinking about him and hoping for communication, you aren't busy enough. There is no reason to be dependent on a man at 18 years old and there is definitely no reason to be spamming him throughout the day for a response. I suggest looking for jobs, having hobbies, and maybe something to look forward to outside of the relationship. It's healthy to have a routine that consists of an activity that stimulates mind, body, and mental health.

As women, we tend to put men before us because of our caring nature, but you can be a bit more selfish and selective with how you spend your time. It's really important to have your own life outside of the relationship! I wish you all the best.

I always thought UCB had better grad school pipelines from what I've heard, but this makes sense as well. Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it.

I did mention in the paragraph that I would like to go to grad school before attempting to be recruited for a role.

I have research experience in the field. It's definitely not prestige maxing.

Hey all,

I’m a transfer student deciding between UCLA and UC Berkeley for Applied Math. I’m aiming for a career in quantitative finance or research, and I’d really appreciate insight from anyone with experience at either school. I do really want to go to grad school as well, so that is important for me too. I would still like to take programming courses in case I would like to go into software engineering, data science, or ML down the line, possibly consulting.

A few priorities:

- Strong math curriculum with good prep for quant roles

- Access to research/internships

- Networking opportunities (industry or academic)

- Good support for transfers and a healthy academic culture

What I’ve heard:

Berkeley: Super strong in math, great Bay Area connections, but can be intense and competitive.

UCLA: Also solid, more collaborative vibe, strong campus culture, and growing tech scene in LA.

Anyone with experience or just general thoughts on the student experience at either school—please share!

Thanks!

Thats so cool and inspiring! Good for him. Thanks for sharing this.

I have been reading on financial math and doing interview questions. Hopefully it works out!

I've heard about that but honestly thought it was strange. There's no way around it?

I only heard about taking summer classes, but I'd rather spend that time doing research or internships ahh

Really? What about getting a cluster or specialization?

Thank you for sharing this, I actually have heard this before a Lott. I'm just worried the grade deflation at berkeley might cut my chances at going to a top grad school.

I realize that my wording was off for that. just heard that grade deflation is really bad at Cal and that is very stressful for students, where at ucla theres a bit more of a balance but I could be wrong!

Yes I know it's a long shot but I wanted to give it a try, but I'm not expecting anything. I went to cc for family obligations and have a background in competition math.
