<p>today I got an email from Berkeley in which they asked me to fill out a supplementary info questionnaire & submit a letter of recommendation. </p>
<p>I'm definitely a borderline student so it makes sense. My extracurriculars, SAT scores, application essays, etc. were all great, but my GPA wasn't so great. </p>
<p>if I received this request from UCB, might I receive one from UCLA too?</p>
<p>It’s possible but looking around here on CC there have been tons of people who have gotten one from UCB and not from the other and vice versa.</p>
<p>They’re independent of each other. Most people don’t get both.</p>
<p>MSM1704. Congratulations!
Can you post your stats?</p>
<p>3.3 GPA… AWFUL, I know. There were outside factors that affected my GPA so I explained that in the additional comments section of my app.
2000 SAT
my essays were really really good, if I can say so!</p>
<p>UCLA is my real dream school 
but of course I’m SO excited about this opportunity from Berkeley!</p>
<p>msma704, thank you.
You have a good SAT. You have a chance. Work hard on it.
Good Luck!</p>
<p>I received the supplement from both ucla and Berkeley last year and was accepted to both. I know my supplement played a huge part in that. Put A LOT of time into it because it is honestly an amazing opportunity to give the schools more information about you and your situation-don’t hold back. Good luck :)</p>
<p>buttafly13, that is a huge comfort to me. thank you!! do you mind sharing your stats?</p>
