<p>“In fact, for California residents with SAT I scores above 1400 who did not apply to one of those three majors and whose GPAs were not below average for the Berkeley admit pool, the admit rate was 98 percent.” ( <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/compreview/mooresreport.pdf[/url] ”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/compreview/mooresreport.pdf </a> pg.151)</p>
<p>this is interesting and frankly unbeleiveable its basically saying that without the people who get rejected from the College of Engineering most people with highly competitive scores are granted admission.</p>
<p>don't tell me you've read the whole report....because that would be [fill in the blank]</p>

<p>congratulations. you may have found a mistake in their report. good job and keep reading =X</p>
<p>nah i just skimmed some parts that looked important</p>
<p>I'm gonna cry.</p>
<p>looking at that pdf file, in 2002 the average admit for physics majors had an SAT I of 1418 and a gpa of 4.35</p>
<p>i scored a 1420 on the SAT I, so that's no biggie, but the GPA!!! what the hell 4.35</p>
<p>I totally regret not taking more honors/AP classes junior year. this totally sucks.</p>
<p>i mean... the AVERAGE was 4.35... AVERAGE. meaning there were people who got like 4.0s and then people who got like 4.7s ....</p>
<p>i'm gonna cry if i don't get in</p>

<p>you gotta factor in people who go in from undecided or other majors within LS to physics</p>
<p>are all the GPAs UC GPAs?</p>
