Berkeley’s been my dream school since freshman year, then I found out about LACs. Applied to some east coast ones and recently visited and found out they aren’t for me. Now I want to try my absolute hardest to get into Berkeley but it’s really all up to chance. I can’t do Global Edge London and I hear FPF has reduced spots.
@bonusoceans When I got waitlisted last year I simply listed my grades for the Fall/Spring and wrote a very brief paragraph simply thanking Berkeley for the opportunity to be on the waitlist.
I received my admission offer from the waitlist on May 3, 2017 as a Spring Admit.
Case in point: Don’t stress too much about the waitlist essay.
Perhaps you can write what you just stated above - visited the LAC’s in East Coast and they simply weren’t for you.
