Yeah… My extracurriculars look kind of unreal but I guess Berkeley was the only school to actually Google what I’ve done. Props to them. My grades were terrible but I spent most of my day doing something good for humanity rather than studying.
General advice: Just apply to all UC’s. I thought Davis was my safety school but apparently not.
@dingdonguc: How about just looking at each UC’s decision thread. All the information is there…
this is a pretty anonymous and respectful board, what are your stats?
that way you’ll get a tailored response.
I’d add, @thrillcosby results aren’t unusual. UC admission is really subjective, especially at the margins so, you have to apply broadly and do a credible job making your case on your aps. people with 4+ gpa’s get blanked at UCs every year.
