YOUR REACTIONS WERE SO CUTE I GOT INTO UC BERKELEY TOO AS A TRANSFER :D

[robjohnston]

This was probably the best planned-out research I've seen on YT regarding applying to the UCs as a transfer. You obviously went over the acceptance rates in great depth at each for CS, and then adjusted your intended major at each of your top choices based on how tough the rates were and subsequently the ability to be admitted to each of them. So recapping, you applied to the following at each of the UCs with stats related to the admit class of 2019:

UCI, Computer Science; A/R 28%, 25th/75th Percentile GPA of 3.63/3.90

UCSB, Computer Science, A/R 7%, 25th/75th GPA of 3.87/4.00; Note: only 5% enrolled however.

UCB, Applied Math, A/R 40%, 25th/75th GPA of 3.73/4.00

UCLA, Math of Computation, A/R 46%, 25th/75th GPA of 3.80-4.00; Note: This is a fairly new major and the acceptance rate will undoubtedly go down considerably in the years to come as more people become aware of it.

It was an excellent strategy of yours to both UCB and UCLA not to apply to CS at both and probably USC.

For UCB CS, the A/R was 5% with a 25th/75th of 3.76/3.99

and for UCLA CS it was an A/R of 5% with a 25th/75th of 3.87-4.00, so both would have been extremely tough.


All the best on your choice.

So glad to see a fellow transfer student make one of these videos! Congrats on the acceptances! I also got accepted to UCLA and USC and I’m choosing between those two as well those were my dream schools too!

This makes me so happy ! I’m applying for fall 2021 as a transfer and I’m really excited!!

[carmina]

aww congrats!! Do you mind doing a video on your transfer essays for the UC system? I’ve seen videos of people doing them as freshman applicants but would love to see someone’s perspective on their transfer app!

[alisonpark]

i'm a high school senior and i didn't get into the schools i dreamed of attending (dream school being berkeley). i'm currently considering community college as to have a second opportunity. your video gave me hope and it has inspired me to work hard to achieve my goals. thank you.

Congrats, Jessica! I was a transfer student, first gen, to UCLA, too! Love your videos and the article in this week's Bruin newspaper. Keep going students!!! #stopthestigma #powertothetransfer <3

Accepted to Berkeley and UCLA but denied from UCSB. Sometimes these things are so random

[MrDLJ]

Congrats! Hard work def pays off. I'm also a transfer to USC this coming fall, so I'll possibly see you there. Either way, enjoy wherever you end up!
