[@deborahfranza2925]

Super useful thank you!

[@Example_gaming1]

Great video , I’m watching a year later after finishing my first year year at a cc. I honestly can’t wait to transfer you video was very reassuring

[@jess2166]

Omg I feel like I relate to you so much! I wish you still went to cal bc I’m transferring in the fall and I’m excited but kind of nervous about everything

[@kimikochelsea]

Congrats on getting in! Go Bears! I was nervous too! ahaha don't worry I promise there will be other people who are also nervous/excited too :) I'm glad you could relate to me !

[@miajoy7670]

Hi Jessica! Congrats on attending Cal! If you’re feeling nervous about your first semester, come visit the Transfer Student Center. Everyone there is super supportive, knows what you’re going through, and cares about your success. We also have an EDUC 198: Transitioning to Cal class you can take which will introduce you to many other students who all want to find a community. Here’s the link for the class list: transfers.berkeley.edu/transitioncourses/. I loved my EDUC 198 course, it was only 1 unit, and I met awesome people there. If you want a peer mentor in your same major to give you some tips and guidance during your first semester, you can sign up here: transfers.berkeley.edu/majorinsights/. There’s also tons of cool activities that the center puts on for transfers, like movie nights, tree planting, etc. I was nervous too, but after finding ways to get connected, I feel just fine. Hope you will too 😊

As a Fall Transfer to UC Berkeley, it's really interesting to hear from your experience of transferring on Spring! Are you graduating soon?

[@kimikochelsea]

Actually I just finished!! That's why I can post every other day! Hahaha

[@EG-ge7lz]

What was your GPA/SAT Scores in HS and GPA in college before transferring? Thank you!

[@wolfgangi]

what's your major? I got admitted and kind of deciding between UCLA and UCB

[@kimikochelsea]

I am an English major and was also pre-med for most of my time at UCB!

[@BrendaGarcia-mi3lc]

Who is the dude in your icon? I got into UCLA and UCB too :)

[@Azian2DaMax]

That's Glenn Gould, a famous pianist that was known for his Bach interpretations. and btw Wolfgang, please don't call Cal "UCB." People hate that shit.

[@haley2121]

Brenda Garcia what's your major if you don't mind me asking? I'm in cc rn and those are my dream schools

[@haley2121]

Wolfgang Icarus what's your major if you don't mind me asking? Those are my dream schools

[@alimusic2691]

Thank you so much for sharing this video, and you've offered a lot of wonderful, useful information! Please share more! Thank you!

[@ForeverInfinite16]

Thank you so much!! It really helped me a lot, I'm a senior rn and I'm deciding between going straight to a UC or start in a CC. My mom and my aunts were all in sororities in college and I kind of wanted of wanted to have that experience, are transfers able to join greek life? sorry if I'm asking too much but I'm kind of freaking out of what to do

[@kimikochelsea]

Hey! Yes you can totally join the greek life as a transfer student! Is the social life your main concern? Or are you also wondering about other pros and cons?

[@ForeverInfinite16]

prettyinpixie I was almost positive I wanted to attend CC first but a lot of people have given me so many misconceptions about how cc students are overlooked when they transfer and how it's so hard that it really confused me at a certain point

[@ForeverInfinite16]

Thankx again for all your series of videos in general they have helped me a lot

[@Memento1Vivere]

This was very informative, thank you! I've been admitted to Berkeley for the Spring semester and am also an english 😊 The chem class you took, was that a requirement for your major? A UCB series would be so awesome and helpful! 😄

[@kimikochelsea]

I took the Chemistry class because I was trying to fulfill my pre-med requirements! :) It was separate from my English major! Also, I totally agree! Any specific topics I should cover?

[@Memento1Vivere]

prettyinpixie Ohhhh, thank goodness! I had a feeling it was for another major, but just wanted to confirm lol Possibly a vid on how your experience as an English major at Cal?

[@Azian2DaMax]

When or if you go to Cal, please don't refer to it as UCB. You'll get eaten alive.

[@Memento1Vivere]

Azian2DaMax LOL Thanks for the heads up! I'll stick to referring to it as Cal, seems to be what everyone calls it.

[@Sam-hl5sd]

I personally would really love to hear your thoughts/advice on housing!

[@kimikochelsea]

I will make a video on this topic soon! :)

[@apnapunjab8039]

Please tell me professor names of liberal studies in Berkley city college

[@Azian2DaMax]

Anybody else a political science major transferring in the Fall?

[@branybarragan5302]

Azian2DaMax me but for 2021 class

[@BiggyFo]

How was your premed experience? I've heard some good things then some horror stories

[@kimikochelsea]

:) I have honestly been meaning to address this in a video. And what you heard is probably accurate. It totally depends on the type of person/other commitments you have in your life. It's a lot of hard work, but I'm sure you could have guessed that! I don't think I should have tried to do both English/pre-med at the same time. I was not able to give an adequate amount of attention to both areas. What's your major? Are you pre-med? :) I think I will make a video about this soon!

[@BiggyFo]

Yea I'm premed. I'm an applied math major, fortunately I shouldn't have a terrible amount of premed work left. I was able to finish everything except for the chem sequence at my cc I'm transferring to Cal this coming fall, and was considering if o-chem got too hard, maybe take it over at Berkeley city college if that was all possible.

[@kimikochelsea]

Tbh, I don't think taking OChem at Berkeley city college is a bad idea at all! Sounds pretty smart in my opinion! I would totally recommend that! Chemistry at Cal consists of a huge lecture hall and then smaller lab classes. You had separate grades in both because they are technically two separate classes. I personally struggled with chemistry a lot but maybe that's just me. Your grade is based on like three exams and one final.

[@BiggyFo]

Thanks for the info! I will definitely have to try the first chem class at Cal though.

[@juliachernova9069]

Hi! Thank you so much for this video! You're awesome! Could you tell which university education is better for the future career as a Marketing Manager (Marketing Director) in the USA: Harvard or UC Berkeley? Maybe you can advice more valuable educational program? - Certificate Program in Marketing at UC Berkeley Extension, - Master degree in Marketing at UC Berkeley, - Full-Time MBA at UC Berkeley, - Marketing Management Certificate Courses at Harvard, - Management Degree at Harvard? I have a Bachelor degree in Advertising and 6-year work experience as a Client Service Manager at digital advertising agencies in Russia.
