<p>you are ok. berkely may be close, but being instate makes you have a high chance. good luck</p>

<p>also, just my opinion - dont put "teaching piano" and "teaching tennis" as jobs. i would say they are more of hobbies. i know that the counselor for uchicago told me that a job should have a boss and a time card (his words on the phone!). just a suggestion. it seems kinda cheezy</p>

3

<p>oh well i mean like i teach it independently for pay and i put it down because of that.</p>

<p>yes. i understand what you mean, but still
you dont do it for 20 hours a week or anything. i guess it depends on the school, but i know u of chicago did not want stuff like that under job experience.just a fair warning</p>

<p>i put tutoring a kid as my job and i still got in.
shrugs..</p>
