</p>
<p>err… clarification please?</p>
<p>Hahaha, sex connecting it to female genital mutilation – I related my human rights activism with philosophy and then talked about how I want to be a discipline of John Searle, one of Berkeley’s greatest philosophy professors.</p>
<p>cal posted decisions may 28th, i think, of last year.</p>
<p>Now this thread is getting a little more exciting! 
It seemed like it was just livefree and I for the longest time! </p>
<p>@ Reaper. I think your appeal grounds sound pretty solid. That uptrend in grades sounds pretty good. </p>
<p>@ s01… do you have an appeal into berkeley?</p>
<p>@ Jenn. That is an interesting angle to take. Would you mind sharing your stats? Gpa/ex-currs/etc.</p>
<p>@ livefree… I remember seeing the same thing you did. So we should know this Thur/Fri… </p>
<p>Ahhhh the suspense is killing me.</p>
<p>yes, we should know this week… fingers and toes crossed! but, if not, davis is a great school anth, we should both be proud.</p>
<p>@ anth</p>
<p>Yep I appealed to Berkeley. We should make a list of those who are appealing.</p>
<p>anth8541,</p>
<p>I’ve been lurking at all the Cal appeal threads… I don’t want to talk about my appeal and get my hopes up because getting accepted [through an appeal] is so slim. (I suppose the part of not talking about it is out the window now…) </p>
<p>Anyway, I have a 3.5, probably a 3.4 now. Member of Amnesty International San Diego Hillcrest chapter along with vice president and secretary of treasure of Political Science Society at Miramar College. Planned Parenthood volunteer, advocating women’s rights. I also participate in many human rights protesting throughout California. If it’s not clear enough, but I hang out on the left side of the political spectrum. </p>
<p>I’m an admitted student to UCLA for this fall… I love the school, but I hate the city and want to get out of Southern California and Cal is my only way out. of. here.</p>
<p>I hate to say this, but I really think Berkeley focuses more on grades point average. I’ve taken 8 courses of philosophy and know someone that took only ONE and got in! He had 3.7 gpa though… I’m declaring myself very bitter.</p>
<p>Jenn,</p>
<p>First off you sound like you have a lot going for you. Being the VP and secretary of the polsci society sounds like a pretty impressive feat. The best of luck to you.</p>
<p>As far as Berkeley focusing on GPA I am skeptical. I had a 3.94 GPA as a transfer applicant which as I understand is on the high side. I also met all the prereqes, igetc etc etc, and had a lot of extra curics etc… so who knows lol.</p>
<p>If you can’t tell I’m pretty disappointed. Hence the appeal We’ll see how it goes :)</p>
<p>Emm… Perhaps it’s by major? Oh wells. We shall wait and be hopeful. I am preparing myself for the worst, which isn’t THAT bad considering since I’m already there. </p>
<p>I wonder if we can call and ask why we weren’t accepted. I know they said not to, but that was during the peak of acceptance/rejection period of announcements.</p>
<p>Hmm… Hopefully we will just have to call to submit our SIR A guy can be hopefully can’t he? :)</p>
<p>I think Jennnn sounds like she owns. Get It Girl! ;)</p>
<p>Evan,</p>
<p>You are so funny. I’m going to Blackberry message you right now!</p>
<p>Lol jenn… looks like you’ve got a fan!</p>
<p>anth8541,</p>
<p>Of course, Evan’s a fan of mine. He and I are friends outside of college confidential. Haha.</p>
<p>jennnn,</p>
<p>If you hypothetically got a spring admit to Berkeley, would you (without a doubt) take that over fall admit to UCLA? </p>
<p>I’m a philo major too and sent my SIR to Berkeley for the spring 2010 over fall UCLA.</p>
<p>I don’t think I will. This past semester, I was only in school part time and went crazily bored. Hence if I don’t get into Berkeley for fall, I’m moving to L.A. early July so I can get situated and attend UCLA’s last summer session. [I wanted to take summer school at my local junior colleges, but I’ve already taken all the philosophy courses offered.] </p>
<p>I tend to breathe off of learning.</p>
<p>If you could, cougar lover. Please take courses with John Searle and tell me how his lectures are!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I shall try to! =)</p>
<p>Man you guys know the profs by name! That’s gangsta!</p>
<p>Don’t be too impressed. I only know names of philosophy professors and nobody else. Haha.</p>
