<p>So if anyone is a spring admit or w/e Cal has, I hope you get moved up in my place</p>

105

<p>Accepted??
Admitted spring and don’t really understand it. Where does the space come from that’s not there a few months earlier? (Are we secondary canon fodder after a bunch of freshmen crash and burn?) What about housing?
The letter says I should be “proud”. Is this true?</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT ~2200

<p>Advice?: Join useless ass (cynical aren’t I?) clubs as prez or vp since UCSD/UCD count that stuff. Academic tests aren’t so much a test of knowledge as they are of your discipline. UC adcoms see you on paper, not in person, so don’t be too sad if they reject you.</p>

[*]Advice?:[/ul] The only thing that distinguished me from other applicants with good grades and test scores was my personal essay, and I really think that helped a ton, especially since it was a more creative and quirky essay that danced around the actual prompt. I’m not sure I’m going yet, but Berkeley is such a great school, especially seeing the type of applicants they had to deny admission to fill their class. People have told me this before when I was rejected, so now I’m passing it on: you guys will really do great wherever you end up going.</p>
