<p>UC BERKELEY OMGGGGGGG!!! </p>

<p>**Decision: ACCEPTED! **</p>

<p>College and Program: Art History</p>

<p>Stats:[ul]

  • SAT I (by section):1880
  • SAT IIs: 640 USH, 660 English Lit
  • ACT:28
  • APs:USH, English Lang, Chem all 4’s. I’m currently taking 6 AP classes and 1st semester senior year got a 4.0
  • IBs:
  • GPA (UW, W):3.73 UW, 4.1W
  • Rank:
  • Other stats:
    [/ul][ b]Subjective:**[ul]
  • ECs listed on app: Average but not spectacular. Mock Trial, Model UN, Volunteer work, Yearbook, Editor at School Newspaper. I was published in an art magazine and featured in some museums.
  • Job/Work Experience: I worked at a pet store and then as an office assistant for a local production company.
  • Essays (subject and responses): AMAZING beyond amazing. My teacher said they were the strongest she’s seen all year.
  • Teacher Recs: Berkeley requested a supplement review/augmented review and my teacher sent one. It was very good.
    *Counselor Rec:
  • Applied on (EA?):
  • Hook (if any): I’m low income and in my additional comments and in the Berkeley supplement I talk about how I was the only one in my family with a job when both my parents were laid off and helped with the bills and whatnot. Also, I’ve had 3.83/4.0 all years expect sophomore year when my grades fell because I had to help out so much with the bills and working.
    [/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
  • State or Country: California
  • School Type: Public
  • Ethnicity: White
  • Gender:Female
    [/ul]
    General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I’m soooo shocked. I’m an average applicant and below average for Berkeley. I am a very good student and my GPA doesn’t reflect it because of sophomore year issues when I had to help out my family with financial issues. Furthermore, I go to an arts school and so I’m very passionate about art and I made sure to really highlight that in my app. The “Augmented Review” really allowed me to talk about this in depth and that’s truly what I think helped. Also, I am an extremely strong writer and I’m sure that my essays helped solidify an acceptance. I’m true testament that you don’t need a 4.5 or 2300 to get into Berkeley. You just need to showcase your passions, talents, and what you overcame (if anything). Berkeley looks for a well rounded individual, not just numbers, because obviously I GOT IN OMG! </p>

<p>** And finally, the most important question of all, were you on the CalNet ID directory before they took the names off (Yes or No): NO! **</p>
