General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: There are quite a few other bright students at my school. 2300+ SATS, extracurrics like tennis club and spanish club, etc…I was lacking in EC’s, i joined absolutely no clubs, and i would rate my scores 92/100 compared to other top students at my school.
I think my assets were grades and possibly my essays. My SAT score was great but not berkeley-definite material, but my grade reports show improvement in grades. I had 2 B’s in my whole high school career, but 1 of them was in a famously hard class at my school–AP Bio–and I improved to an A second semester.
My essays–I think it helps that I’m a science major…but I have an interest in the humanities, such as drama and theater and writing.
I’m Asian, yes, but I’m Vietnamese, a smaller Berkeley minority. That might have helped? =O
Anyways, I was so confused/happy/thrilled when I found out I was admitted, but in Spring! Most likely I will be going to berkeley. =] I KEEP THINKIN I PUT SOMETHIN WRONG ON MY UC APPLICATION GEEZ. lol. Anyway this was an epic wait of a day. good luck everyone.
