<p>Everytime I get an email from Berkeley about applying for scholarships it just gets my hopes up more! Like this one, for instance: "As an Alumni Scholarship applicant, you will be eligible to participate in the Overnight Stay Program, which brings admitted prospective Berkeley students to campus for an overnight visit in April. " AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Don't do this to me Berkeley!!!!!!!! I know these emails mean NOTHING, but everytime I get one, my heart skips a beat. Thank goodness the Coachella lineup is up, at least now I have something else to obsess over for a few months....</p>
<p>I know EXACTLY what you mean. Any email that has "UC..." in the sender I freak out!</p>
<p>And Yes, Coachella will be awesome.</p>
<p>hmmm....I haven't gotten a single email from berkeley...I applied to EECS with a 3.78 so I didn't have much hope to begin with...o well</p>
<p>i know exactly how you feel squarepeg! i applied to berkeley last year, and then they sent that alumni scholarship thingy in the email, and i was tempted to not even do it. i think i wasn't even going to do it, but i changed my mind like half hour before the deadline (imagine me hurrying to finish up the application, and the comp kept freezing ughhh) and i submitted it. i didnt feel my hopes come up, i felt my heart sink whenever i got stuff like that from berkeley.</p>
<p>well, now i'm at berkeley AND i did get that scholarship! so i'm glad i went through with it despite the sinking feeling :D</p>
