<p>Texas > Cal</p>

<p>just trolling ;)</p>

22

<p>i got the optional questionnaire and letter of recc. thing as well...oh gosh I really hope I get in.</p>

23

<p>What's the rate of acceptance for those optional questionnaires and letters of rec? I also got one and would like to know what to expect kind of.</p>

24

<p>


yea i got the same thing... hopefully ill get in... though im prbbly not gonna go there anyway (ucsd is better for pre-med)</p>

25

<p>nice. good luck to all of you. After reading some old posts, it looks like people who received the questionnaire and letter of recommendation request were in the exact middle. The information they get from these supplementals will help them determine if you're in or out. For people who didn't get the questionnaire it just means that they were already in or out.</p>

26

<p>yep exactly we're the borderline cases
prbbly grades werent good enough, but good essay + ecs
or other way around...</p>

27

<p>alright good luck everyone, i know i m screwed lol</p>

28

<p>its ok, you can play the oboe elsewhere</p>

29

<p>yeah i guess</p>

30

<p>and probably get a good scholarship because of it</p>

31

<p>:crosses fingers: Good luck everyone!</p>

32

<p>i'm at the lower rung of applicants.. if i didnt get augmented review, i can assume i'm totally out?</p>

33

<p>I don't think anyone is ever totall out. Berkeley can always see someting interesting in you and accept you whether its a personal situation, certain ECs, etc - so there'se always a chance!</p>

Any truth to this?
"The report found that in 2002, UC Berkeley rejected 641 applicants with near-perfect SAT scores, while accepting 378 students who scored between a 600 and 1000, with 1600 being a perfect score.</p>

<p>About 62 percent of the students with low SAT scores were underrepresented minorities, said Richard Black, assistant vice chancellor of admissions and enrollment at UC Berkeley. Less than 15 percent of these were student-athletes. "</p>
