at the right i am going, my CV will be a fucking joke and no one will take me in for research.
Dude, you haven't even graduated yet. Give yourself a bit of a break.
I know, as a fellow-transfer, you have to work a little harder for those research oppurtunities (mostly because Berkeley has a shitty attitude towards transferred work, which to that I just say: WTF). Hell, I applied for 7-8 URAPs (for two semesters in a row) before I nailed one. Anyways, it takes time to build a research cred, you have a good start with your summer work. Don't stress-- kay?
I think the URAP is kinda based on luck. I think sometimes if the faculty feel your enthusiasm at research and your ambitioun in related career, they tend to like this student more. At least that was how I got a position from a pool of 20+ applicants. I think your life/work experience also shows that you're a hard-working and determined person. You probably know this already, but they typically want someone to commit at least a year to research (so their training on you is not wasted). I think there're advantages being a transfer student; you see more walks of life (even though Berkeley coops are diverse enough--yet most faculty don't know coop culture). Maybe it can be written as benefits in conducting psychology research?
