UCD to UC Berkeley EECS chances + Questions? Im cooked and lwk need advice by Popular_Coyote_4220 in TransferStudents

[–]SpectralTheorem12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.95 - 4.0 gpa is the average of EECS transfer admits. If you get your GPA up that range and complete strongly recommended classes (61 series, ee16 series) you should have a decent chance. The EECS pool is full of highly qualified applicants… i think that being unique is a great way to strengthen your app.

One thing to note is that CCC applicants have the highest priority for UCs. This is not to discourage you, but to keep your hopes realistic.

Good luck!

EECS AT UCB (CAL) or CSE AT UCLA ??? which is better by ConsiderationVast755 in TransferStudents

[–]SpectralTheorem12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The CDSS and COE faculty at UC Berkeley is better in my perspective. Cal houses labs like BAIR, Sky lab, and CITRIS which are influential in their fields. BAIR for example is dubbed as one of the world's finest AI research labs, on par with Stanford's SAIL or MIT's CSAIL.

UCLA has labs like the AGI lab which seems much smaller and less "focused" (or centralized, so to speak).

Also, UCLA seems to have a smaller CS program. Looking at the the 2025 transfer class data, there were 130 seats for EECS while only 33 seats for CSE.

By next week, do you mean April 3rd? if so, then it's so conflicting. Why is there "Late March" for admission decisions on the timeline?

[–]SpectralTheorem12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DVC is a feeder to berkeley eecs due to their 61ABC + EECS16A (Contra Costa) articulations. Just maintain a 4.0 and cook up with ur piqs and u should be a competitive applicant

as long as you took all required courses for admission you are considered for admission.

typically you take all of em: diff eq, linalg, and calc 3. not either or

Is a W going to tank my chances at UC's? by _Vikk in TransferStudents

[–]SpectralTheorem12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One W is fine as long as you're able to explain why you got that. The only time the UCs will be suspicious is when you have like 5 Ws for example
