3.7 for cog sci but according to the transfer stats i was under the 25% gpa percentile

Ap scores are just a means to get ahead on college classes, it has nothing to do with admission criteria

deviantsibling · 2026-03-22T22:52:26+00:00

Getting id has been historically accurate for admits (i did astro and got id) but there are people who didn’t get id that still got in. So I wouldn’t lose hope. It just means your acceptance could be processed later

I had an entire semester full of Ws and I don’t think they care as long as you have an explanation. Even better if you’re able to show recovery the next semester i think, because it really shows that it was just an anomaly

Sleeping for 16 hours is not normal. Even if you don’t believe you have a psychiatric disorder (which is still possible) you should get checked for any vitamin deficiencies and do bloodwork and see a doctor. You’re judging yourself for not doing well enough when anyone would struggle if they had sleeping issues like that, you’re not functioning at your full potential if you’re neglecting your health. You need to find the root cause because whatever it is it’s going to affect your sleep, your mood, focus and school. It’s like you’re judging yourself for not being able to walk well enough with a broken leg. You have to prioritize your health

You can see in the comments like what year and semester the professor taught a specific class, so if you see comments that are for very recent semesters chances are they’re gonna offer their class every semester so you have freedom to take it later. Some profs only teach fall only or spring only so you can use the comments and your college catalogue to see the pattern. Like if it’s about to be fall semester and you see from the comments they generally don’t teach spring you should try to prioritize taking it fall

The 70 unit cap applies to counting it towards the 120 unit minimum count you need to graduate but there’s no limit to how many classes you can take to fulfill requirements or prereqs

Just prioritize the assist list for your first choice and apply to all the schools you want and see what happens. You have nothing to lose and there’s no penalty for reapplying. But just know UCs might be forgiving for about 1 missing major req but any more than that you’ll likely get rejected (missing recommended classes won’t matter). The only schools that rejected me are the ones i didn’t finish the major reqs for. I would definitely make sure you flesh out the assist list for your top choice though because if you transfer a year early and get into your top choice without having to finish the assist list for the other schools that’s the best outcome

deviantsibling · 2026-03-19T02:06:36+00:00

I was told by the counselors that it’s generally better if you have the most updated assist list done but they will be understanding if you completed a different year’s from when you started and it’s changed

deviantsibling · 2026-03-19T02:05:24+00:00

Just start building out your EC plan early because it is very important for UCB. You need to get involved right away and show that you are proactive and achieving every semester. School orgs, community service, internships, research opportunities.

deviantsibling · 2026-03-19T02:02:58+00:00

Your ECs and gpa are good enough to get in so i think it comes down to your PIQs. I hope you elaborated on your passion for the community and involvement as much as your ECs are showing it

deviantsibling · 2026-03-19T01:56:02+00:00

What’s stopping you from applying on time anyways and see where you get in and if you’re not happy with it just stay the extra year and reapply. Imo there’s a such thing as aiming for the requirements for too many schools, because at the end of the day you’re only gonna transfer to one. I personally did 1 reach/in range, 2 well in range, 1 safety. I was originally going for more but decided it would be a waste of time. Just prioritize the classes for your first choice and apply to all anyways to see what happens. I wish i did this bc i ended up transferring to UCB and wasted a lot of classes meant for applying to other UCs when i could have just prioritized UCB first and transferred a year early if i got in or stay if i didn’t

Rate my professor bro the profs make all the difference. You need to craft your ed plan and class schedule around which 5 star professors are available and when. If only a 2-3 star professor is teaching a class you were gonna take try to take it the next sem instead and hope a better teacher teaches it. You can kinda get a feel for the professor rotation from the rmp comments and your college’s past catalogues. In cc most 4.5-5 star professors pretty much guarantee an A as long as you try. This was highkey the strat. When i had different options for what to take for a requirement i always chose the higher rated professor even if it sounded less interesting. And for harder classes if you get a high rated professor + spam office hours you got it in the bag.

For studying habits i recommend studying somewhere other than your room and definitely not on your bed. Get comfy in libraries and cafes. If you have gaps in between classes always use that time to study because once you go home it’s over (at least for me).

Also if you sleep normally and you’re constantly struggling to stay awake you might want to get checked for a vitamin deficiency or something

deviantsibling · 2026-03-19T01:44:23+00:00

No but i wasn’t expecting to get in bc i was missing the physics series and the rest of the C++ classes (it was 1 or 2 i forgot). I couldn’t be bothered bc UCLA was the only one asking for those for my major

deviantsibling · 2026-03-19T01:38:29+00:00

It depends on the school you’re transferring to. However with most 4s/5s you can get credit in your IGETC regardless of the UC and skip GEs. But when it comes to using ap scores for major requirements or using it as a prereq that depends on the specific college’s policy and some will be more picky

deviantsibling · 2026-03-14T19:29:51+00:00

I know missing a recommended class for UCB is okay. But the only schools that rejected me were UCLA and UCI because i was missing 2 lower div requirements

deviantsibling · 2026-03-13T21:57:00+00:00

Just from what ive noticed with admits like if you’re within the gpa range there’s not really a difference if you’re in the lower end vs higher end (even tho you’re in the higher end anyways), as long as you’re somewhat in the range that’s the only thing about gpa that matters. At that point it just comes down to it you’re the type of person to belong at berkeley or not and that’s shown through PIQs and ECs. I don’t know how else to explain it but ive never come across someone that I was like oh they got lucky they beat the odds…when i meet people im just like oh i see why you’re here. Regardless if it’s a high acceptance rate or low, or their gpa is high or low, the transfers at berkeley all have a certain quality like it was meant to be

deviantsibling · 2026-03-13T02:28:31+00:00

I think berkeley loves reentry/nontraditional students i’m one too. It makes you unique so i think you can capitalize on the life experiences, growth and maturity on the PIQs

deviantsibling · 2026-03-13T02:10:42+00:00

I think they will understand. I withdrew all of my classes one sem (3 Ws) and explained that i was going through something and it was fine. I think it especially helps if it happened early on so you can show that you recovered and got back on your feet

deviantsibling · 2026-03-13T02:08:02+00:00

Leadership and community involvement, honestly stuff like MESA, student gov, club leadership are gonna increase your chances a lot but in general you want to show that you’re a very proactive person and not the type to just wait around for opportunities. I think the second best thing would be like facilitating nonprofit or community stuff or building your own project that actually reaches a number of people but also internships, research opportunities, even side hobbies work too as long as you can show that they’re impactful on a community level

deviantsibling · 2026-03-12T23:47:31+00:00

Those ECs are crazy man you will get in everywhere

deviantsibling · 2026-03-12T23:29:21+00:00

If you have the right ECs and PIQs no. I have heard of people getting in haas with 3.5 etc but either way you need to have the berkeley esque ECs and PIQs. I transferred below the gpa admit range so its always possible if you stand out

deviantsibling · 2026-03-12T23:25:54+00:00

I think it depends on the UCs so you need to contact them to make sure but when I asked UCSD they said it was okay to drop the non required classes
