Current Students: What were your AP scores?

[KitKatz]

<p>^ Well I don’t know. He was really surprised too, so we just decided that he got in because of his internship at Scripps, cuz that’s not easy to come by Oh, and on top of that, he got a C in his calc BC class before he transferred into my calc AB class, and his math 2 C was something like 680. Yeah, it was very strange. I didn’t read his essays, but maybe that impressed them? idk. Anyways, he’s not going to UCB cuz he thinks that he’ll probably get slaughtered there He’s going to UCSD instead. </p>

<p>Also he was well rounded (speech and debate president and couple of other leadership positions). I personally think that berkeley’s starting to change its admittance criteria. To me, it seems as if essays and ECs are becoming more and more important. I remember at my regent interview, the professor made all sorts of comments about my essays, and ECs but strangely not so much about academics…and usually regents get in because of their impressive resume/academic achievement… idk. It’s all very strange and confusing.</p>

<p>Black rose: I might be presumptuous in thinking that your math brain is on the same level as mine so I’m sorry if I offend! I don’t mean to! But Physics, I find, is really difficult to study, esp because if you have a lot of other AP/IB classes and do not have much time to focus on the subject. Chem, on the other hand, I find that relatively easy to understand. We only studied maybe 3 chapters and did mostly organic chemistry because my school is IB oriented and IB stressed much more on organic chemistry, so I had to cram everything in the weekend before the test. I know you want to get 5s, but even with last minute cramming, I got a 4. So I think that instead of taking chem classes over the summer, maybe try to take physics intead? Just a suggestion.</p>
