<p>nizhoni-berkeley is pretty liberal, so who knows? they may see something really awesome in you to go "yeah we need someone like him there." i think with me and UCLA, i had a lower GPA than several (3.45) in a major that's not impacted but according to stats last year had an admit GPA of 3.5, and i really think it was my ECs, essays, and circumstances that put me over the top. i'm not expecting to get into Berkeley, but in my application i showed who I was as a person and as a student, and i think as long as you really show who you are, anything can happen. best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Garylol: Yes, so which one did you apply for?</p>
<p>If you did CNR I can tell you about it a bit</p>
<p>@Nizhoni,</p>
<p>Did you even follow the prompt?</p>
<p>I was also wondering how he could address all those topics and still be answering the prompt.</p>
<p>Oh wait, maybe that is what he wrote for his school newspaper.</p>
<p>A lot of the admissions essays are read and scored by Cal alumni...read: Asian females - in general a conservative group.</p>
<p>Writing about radical politics ftl. I could be totally wrong of course (maybe they'll like it?). Good luck!</p>
<p>prompt I: it was about my major and im a soc major so i talked about social issues (and how i strive to make a difference), the programs i was in, the classes i took, why i wrote for the paper, the communities i serve; all of it regarding to my work i have been doing in relation to my major</p>
<p>prompt II: i talked about a cultural exchange i participated in last summer where i went to live in the villages of my fellow indigneous peoples in panama. it totally changed everything about me</p>
<p>maybe later we shall post our statements??? or maybe for some other thread afttter we hear the news =]</p>
