<p>xcb is a pretentious, pompous prick- that should die for his pseudo-intellectual ******** and his castration of what he believes are "philistines."</p>
<p>**** man half the engineers in UCs are from other countries who can't speak good english...xcb you are a moron</p>
<p>or probably just a troll, guys...</p>
<p>i agree with malishka...people who bash others for their grammatical/speling errors online have issues..</p>
<p>ya i dont really talk this way on my english papers, he probably knows he wont get in berkeley or hes been rejected in the past and he wants us all to share his misery, its a basic human emotion, pathethic, but basic.</p>
<p>Come on! We all know that nonwhite and/or ESL students are held to way lower standards, which is quite apparent from what I have read so far in this forum and seen during my time at CC.</p>
<p>Regardless, I doubt the OP will be accepted to this particular program just based on his stats. He doesn't even know who gave him this verbal "guarantee" of admission!</p>
<p>'you're probably in'</p>
<p>is different from </p>
<p>you're in</p>
<p>so it wasn't a verbal guarantee of admissions</p>
<p>WAY lower standards?</p>
<p>give some examples from what you've seen during your time at CC</p>
<p>xcb123xcb- i think what you said is rude and disrespectful. </p>
<p>Even though you might feel that nonwhite/ESL students are held to lower standards, that is not the case. </p>
<p>In most cases, they are given more help because they do not have the same opportunaties that the white kids have. It is not their fault that white kids often times do not choose to utilize all the things that are available to them and take a lot of the "givens' in life for granted. </p>
<p>Majority of ESL/Nonwhite students work their butts of in CC and /or in HS because they strive to try and make a better life for themselves or to utilize the opportunities their parents didnt have.</p>
<p>I think your ignorant and have no clue what your talking about.</p>
<p>(before you start attacking my spelling or grammer, please be advised that i am aware this post is inperfect in those respects, however that isnt the point of the post... if your mildly intellegent , i hope you get the point)</p>
<p>non-white students don't have the same opportunities as white kids? since when?</p>
<p>completely jk</p>
<p>--- not all white kids oviously, i know there a lot of disadvantaged white kids as well, but i am saying in the grand scheme of things... coming to america, not speaking english, oviously leads you to have less opportunaties than the kids raised here. ... you have to make opportunities for yourself, and thats not easy. </p>
<p>I dont think people lice XBC, even realize what it takes to come to a new country, or what it means to have your parents change countires, and how all that impacts your livelyhood and your views and opportunities about your future.</p>
<p>wow so 1200 out of the 1600 applicants were poli sci/psychology majors?! that definately can not be good..haha thanks for totally scaring me now.</p>
<p>you guys are funny. i go to berkeley and although writing is essential, graspin' concepts of your subject is by far more important.</p>
<p>1 more day...</p>

<p>Lower standard??? Do not make me laugh!!!!!!! Even if you study for 100 years, you would not even approach their standards </p>
<p>i guess xcb is from mars or 60's</p>
<p>Maybe just retarded illusionist...</p>
<p>i think xcb is one of those closet racists that blame thier own wrong choices on "non whites". I worked hard for my stats, why would I have a 3.85 gpa just cus im non white, do nonwhites have different grading systems in community college, most of my professors were non white. You are EXTREMELY iggnorant and it is so apparent that you wont get in to a good school, your probably going to riverside or something, its cool, some people are just destined to pick up my trash and what not.</p>
<p>i hate u! i can't believe u get to live above blondies..i don't like blondies that much..btu thats an awesome location lol (despite the druggies/homeless people) then again, they're what makes telegraph, telegraph......</p>
