The Berkeley Thread!

<p>That is a harsh theory!</p>

<p>I am ready to celebrate my rejection.....</p>

<p>Hongda-you have a good EC and essay?</p>

<p>yeah. However, my ECs are limited since I just came to U.S. two years ago from China.</p>

<p>President of Entrepreneur Club
Controller for Student Government
Academic Director for Student Government
Project Coordinator of Student In Free Enterprise(SIFE)
Accounting and math tutor
other volunteer stuff</p>

<p>I want to go Haas, but there are a lot of candidates who have better ECs than mine.</p>

<p>Essay is good. very compelling</p>

<p>Hondga- are you international student?</p>

<p>no. I have a green card.</p>

<p>you have 4.0GPA, solid GPA, pretty good EC what are you worrying about?
you have very good chance!i would say early congrats!</p>

<p>Thank you Torrancecali. You makes me feel better, but that major is very competitive(plus, I am an asian). Acceptance chance: 15%. Rejection: 85%.
keep crossing my fingers. </p>

<p>I hope you will get in too and I will see you there ^o^</p>

<p>yah i hope so!</p>

<p>Hongda,
Why would you say that acceptance rate is 15% for Asian? Are you talking about the Haas program or are you talking about Berkeley as a whole? Because the Asian population on campus is HUGE! If you want to see a small % of acceptance rates then look at African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American...etc. Those are the ones that have underrepresented areas.</p>

<p>just check Haas program.....My bad....Chinese/Chinese American has the highest Demographics...35%
Undergraduate</a> Program - Degree Information - Haas School of Business
I wonder why.....</p>

<p>It has been on the login page the whole time, I think, but are you seeing it after logging into MyBerkeleyApp?</p>

<p>I can't see after logging in</p>

<p>thatgirltoo, do you see it after you log into myberkeleyapp??</p>

<p>thatgirltoo- what you mean? i dont get it</p>

<p>Any Psych majors applying for Berkeley?</p>

<p>I'm interested in seeing who I'm competing against.
Did you guys finish your prereqs prior to Spring?
More than half of mine were in progress or planned, so I'm already not expecting to get in.</p>

<p>Hopefully someone will read this. I didn't want to create a thread and create more clutter.</p>

<p>@hongda: seriously, even those of us who have a 4.0 and such-and-such EC's still get rejected. ppl always come up to me w/alot of confidence and say "oh, you are in for sure!".... but ppl like me (and presumably, you) still worry just the same!!!!! hopefully it's all for nothing, and we go on to spend several years at cal, but one still can't help but worry. hope this makes you feel better and gL!!!!!!</p>

<p>wishfulone- you don't compete with only psychology majors... you compete with all the social science major people!</p>

<p>oh I didn't realize that. Thanks, Torrance.</p>

<p>Any social science major can reply then. =)</p>

<p>Did you guys finish your prereqs prior to Spring?</p>

<p>yes applied to social science department im going to finish my pre-req prior to spring.</p>
