• Have a solid foundation in math and the sciences
• Are analytic thinkers who want to solve problems/ develop efficient ways to improve quality of life
• Like to figure out how things work • Enjoy utilizing technology • See themselves as designers, builders,
researchers, and managers of technical enterprises
We’re Interested in Students Who…
![Page 16: Bryan Jones bkjones@berkeley](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56812c32550346895d90b634/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• There’s no secret of how to get into engineering
• We utilize the same screening process for all applicants regardless of major
• Students should apply for the major in which they’re moste interested
• We’re looking equally for competitive candidates for engineering and the likelihood of admission depends upon the quality of the applicant pool and the number of spaces available in the program
Admissions “Secrets”
![Page 17: Bryan Jones bkjones@berkeley](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56812c32550346895d90b634/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Transfer Admissions Criteria• 60 transferable semester units with a strong over-all
GPA (especially in required courses) • 100% completion of “required” courses is a must, note:
– Reading and Composition (R&C) is included in the 100% completion and we require both the 1st and 2nd half of R&C
– Primary reason Fall 2010 applicants denied admission due to lack of R&C completion (due to following IGETC instead of www.assist.org)
– Be aware that some sister schools (e.g. Grossmont & Cuyamaca) say their R&C courses are equivalent from campus-to-campus but they aren’t articulated that way in www.assist.org
• Students encouraged to take as many "strongly recommended" articulated courses as possible so they are stronger candidates for admission and are better prepared for success in engineering
• Transfers now exempt from E10 (Engineering Design & Analysis) requirement
• Please stress the importance of the personal statement including an explanation of their interest in their chosen major

100% Course Completion Required• Sample “Required” courses (Civil Eng):
UCB Math 1A, 1B, 53, 54 UCB Physics 7A, 7B UCB Chem 1A UCB Chem 1B or Physics 7C UCB English 1A and 1B
• Sample “Strongly Recommended” courses (Civil Eng): UCB Engin 7 UCB Civ Eng 60 UCB Engin 10• It is critical that students check www.assist.org for
requirements specific to their intended major

How to Apply for Admission
![Page 20: Bryan Jones bkjones@berkeley](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56812c32550346895d90b634/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
COE Personal Statement How did you become interested in engineering?
Why are you interested in the major to which you’re applying? What excites you about studying this major?
What experiences influenced your decision (i.e. job experience, discussions with faculty, professional engineers or engineering students, related projects, courses, etc.)?
What other experiences, such as co-curricular activities, have you had that relate to engineering? What non-engineering related activities have you participated in? What skills did you learn from these experiences that will help you in engineering (i.e. leadership, time management, teamwork etc)?
What are your goals, aspirations, and plans for after graduation?

1456 •Applications received
864 •Applications read for admission (3.4 GPA & higher)
509 •Applications with 100% completion of required courses
264 •Applicants admitted (18% of applicants, ave. GPA 3.79)*
200 •Applicants accepting admission (188 Fall, 12 Spring deferred)
Transfer Admission Fall 2010
* Fall 2010 admissions more competitive due to 100% completion policy required for review
![Page 22: Bryan Jones bkjones@berkeley](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56812c32550346895d90b634/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Do I have to graduate in 4 semesters? Our program should be able to be completed in 4 semesters, but with approval an additional semester may be granted. In some of our majors a 5th semester may be needed and students should plan accordingly.
• If I am unable to attend the semester for which I am admitted, will COE defer my admission to a later term? No. Admission is valid only for the term in which you are admitted.
• Will it affect my admission if, after I’ve applied, I decide to drop or not enroll in courses reported on my application to be completed in my final semester before transferring ? If students fail to complete core courses which they reported, their admission will probably be cancelled.
