<p>On my essays:
I talked about (for the essay about the 'world') how I am Indian (both parents are immigrants) and about how although my family is very traditional, I have adapted to American culture and have drawn the best aspects from each, creating a unique individuality. I also talked about how the traditional Indian male's goal is to get a good job and provide for his family and how, being influenced by American society, my goals are loftier; I talked about how I want to make a large impact on the world and how I can use the facilities at Cal Berkeley, including the student body, to make these changes.</p>

<p>For the second essay, I chose to write about an experience: I wrote about a Robot Competition that my Engineering Physics class was part of and talked about how the experience allowed me to learn about hard work and teamwork. I also discussed the flaws of our project and about how we were not organized. I parlayed this into a paragraph about how I have learned to become a better leader and have realized that in order to organize a group, I must be able to take criticism for better or for worse in order to advance the group - I also talked about how I can use the newfound leadership in order to be a leading figure in the Cal student body.</p>

<p>By the way, I applied to Nuclear Engineering for all that it's worth. If I do not get into Nuclear Engineering, will I be referred to another program or will I just be rejected?</p>

<p>Thanks and Please reply/chance me!</p>

<p>If you don’t get into NE then you will just be rejected. But I heard NE has a shortage of students, though I suppose it will still be more competitive than L&S.</p>

<p>Your stats look pretty good. If you played up your leadership roles you stand a good chance of getting in. I don’t know how much OOS will play into it.</p>

<p>yeah. i think you have a good shot. Your gpa weighted average is a bit lower than the average Berkeley admit, but your SAT and ACT make up for it. </p>

<p>Getting in as an out-of-state student is a lot more competitive though. goold luck!</p>

<p>nice i got into illinois engineering today as a backup but im still super nervous about Berkeley</p>
