-- Posted by matthewww333 at 11:52 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Can't someone make a decent post, hahahaha...  OH, I actually have something to say though... Did anyone here apply to UC Berkley, AND get in??? That's like my dream school, and I'm doing whatever I can to get in (managing ASB, peer counseling, and a (possible) 4.6 overall GPA AND dive team, and THEN a social life on top of all of that, JUST for this one school, hahaha) =] -- Posted by iinsurgent at 11:53 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 What's ASB? -- Posted by Jadien at 11:53 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 I hope you get in, buddy. :D -- Posted by VALIENT at 11:53 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 I got accepted but then slapped the dean in the face because he promised me 42 virgins, and didn't come through. The guy was beefing on my ball sack. -- Posted by utheh at 11:53 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 on my dream list, one of the fews schools id consider going to -- Posted by californication at 11:53 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 What is your favorite subject right now, on anything. Favorite band, show, thing to do? -- Posted by MrJollyRancher at 11:53 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Good luck.  What do you plan on majoring in? -- Posted by IkBlitz at 11:54 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Good luck getting into Berkley. Two of my friends want to go there. -- Posted by Chevy Jackson at 11:54 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 you dont need a social life to get into the school. i mean, its not a requirement or anything. so if you dropped the social life, then you would have a lot more free time to....y'know...hang out with friends and stuff. -- Posted by effyouseakay at 11:54 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 In that case, I hope you get accepted. -- Posted by whips handcuffs at 11:55 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 i know a few guys who got accepted. fucking genuises. oh and i love berkley too :) -- Posted by matthewww333 at 11:55 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:53 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 What's ASB? Associated Student Body, you know, like treasury, president, vice president, that stuff.. OH, I was President of my middle school too, hahaha =] -- Posted by Bacon at 11:55 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 I got accepted, then I realised the school is made of AIDS -- Posted by carnage44 at 11:59 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 Good luck to you, although I can't think of a school I personally despise more. -- Posted by jennay at 10:21 am on Aug. 10, 2008 its not that hard to get in -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 10:44 am on Aug. 10, 2008 Yes. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 12:20 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 Quote: from jennay at 10:21 am on Aug. 10, 2008 its not that hard to get in It depends on who you are.  It specifically states on their site that California residents are considered first in terms of applicants. State residency matters for a state school, and the major that you are applying for also makes a difference.  Having an engineering degree from UC Berkeley is MUCH better than having an engineering degree from Harvard. --- Do you know what major you want to get in to?  You should probably check in to that.  There is definitely more competition depending on the major that you're applying for. You're Californian, so it will work towards your benefit.  If you don't get into UC Berkeley the first time around, you can definitely go to a community college for two years and try for transfer.  MANY people do this in California, and if you want to go to UCB then it's definitely something that you should look into. And it's good, you have the extra curricular things too, that can go a long way.  Considering you have a higher than 4.0 average, I'm assuming you've been taking AP classes too, and that will also reflect well on you.  Just keep it up, give yourself a lot of things to write on your application. -- Posted by MrIndigo at 2:06 pm on Aug. 11, 2008 I'd think the decisions should have came out like months ago... Are you applying for next year? yeah, I got in when I applied. I think Berkeley have a rather high acceptance rate too, like 20%? So it shouldn't be that hard to get in. From the sounds of it, you'll probably gonna get in for sure.
