<p>“someone who is attending UC Berkeley IS better qualified to discuss the admissions proccess than someone who isn’t. I don’t know why you guys post on here if aren’t willing to listen to advice from people who have already gone through what you’re going through.”
- you aren’t getting my point. im not saying your opinions and experience don’t matter. im just saying that they arent the sole criteria in answering the question posed by the OP. sure, you were able to get into berkeley by doing P/NP on igetc courses but that doesn’t mean it happens for everyone. so yes, we do value your input and advice but we cant assume that your advice is 100% correct. the only person who can truly answer this question with a right answer is an admissions representative. </p>
<p>“To the normal people out there. IT IS OK TO TAKE CLASSES P/NP as long as it is not a major pre-req. I was assured by people at Berkeley that it would not hurt your chances at admissions and I 100% believe that to be true.”
- You were assured but this is a simple - “he said, she said” situation. Unless a Berkeley representative tells me that in my case, it is okay to take it, i can’t buy into this argument as being 100% correct. It’s definitely noteworthy and valued that i should ask a berkeley rep, but again - situations are different for everyone. </p>
<p>“You people are insane…do whatever the hell you want. I hope you end up at UC Merced. […] If you want to take the advice of future UC Merced students then listen to chibi and sleeper.”
- Okay, this is the part of your post that angered me. So wait, if someone doesn’t agree with you, they are automatically insane? wow, im sorry im not a super-genius like you… mr. “i know it all”. second of all, what are you trying to imply? that because someone has an opposite view on the road you should take in getting into a school is automatically going to end up at a lower-tier school? buddy you should get your facts checked. im sure someone who doesnt take any of their igetc classes for P/NP will not end up at UC Merced. And before you make a personal attack on me, get your facts checked. I have a 3.8 GPA and am Tap-certified. Oh did i mention, I already got into UCSB, UCD, UCI, and UCSD? I signed Tags for them. Guess I won’t be ending up at UC Merced after all… </p>
<p>fljeeboi, you are an example of a truly, stuck-up person that a fellow poster that ive had debates with (for those of you who follow these boards, im referring to anchor) mentioned about. it doesnt help my cause of defending berkeley and ucla students as not stuck-up, when someone like you pops up and makes comments like such.</p>
<p>but i think the biggest thing is… i didnt even side with anyone. so why are you attacking me?</p>
