The Berkeley Thread!

<p>Yea I guess it's really hard to get into social sciences. Humanities is close to 50% admit, sucks how it works like that.</p>

<p>It sucks that history is a social science at UCB in some other UCs it is considered a humanity.</p>

<p>That is so far from the truth; Torrance, you really should put more thought into what you're saying.</p>

<p>That's not right. I suppose UCB's history department takes an ss approach to history then?</p>

<p>Not sure what they do, but the admit rate sucks. I was looking up data and the last 3 years or so it's been around 29%. 4-5 years ago it was even worst, like in the 15% range.</p>

<p>fijeeboi you're a history major?</p>

<p>Ektaylor-I am emphasizing on how hard is it to get in to Cal!</p>

<p>I don't know if they take more of a Social Science aspect of history at UCB. But whether or not history is a social science is a hot topic at every institution.</p>

<p>Kal: yea i'm a history major. I received income verification paperwork from Cal financial aid. So i'm kind of counting on getting in there. If I don't, I will be looking for the closest tall building I can find.</p>

<p>Torrance I see your point. When I consider the competitiveness of the major with some of the stats from statfinder it seems a lot of the people I know applying to UCB surprisingly fall into that 50/50 category.</p>

<p>That's right, I remember fijeeboi. I'm kind of a fan of that theory so I envy you.</p>

<p>Very sadly true.</p>

<p>any Berkeley theory? besides the Cal Rental?</p>

<p>Yea The theory that Berkeley is awesome. There is a lot of evidence for it.</p>

<p>The #1 public university in the world.</p>

<p>yeah good point!</p>

<p>Hey how many post until you become a senior member Torrance?</p>

<p>exactly 1000 you should become a senior member by 4/30!</p>

<p>No way that is way to many post by 4/30.</p>

<p>no you will get so pumped up @4/30 that you will make it!</p>
