<p>anyone got accepted at berkeley for fall 2009!! any tips?? :D</p>
<p>GPA: ~3.8, could be lower (Got B’s in two prerequisite courses - calculus, statistics)
Extra-curricular: Volunteer at Big Brothers Big Sisters, Darfur organization, and member of Alpha Gamma Sigma
Work experience: 3 total - internship at investment bank, in business development, and marketing/communications
Essay: Wrote about how the American business world differs from my culture and how I’ve adapted to it</p>
<p>My advice is first, to certainly finish all your prerequisites and don’t freak out if you don’t have a 4.0. Next, go out there and get an internship or volunteer somewhere that will certainly teach you about something significant you can write about. I think my essay got me in that school because I don’t have the 4.0’s compared to everyone else and my EC’s are slim. Best of luck and PM me if you have any questions!</p>
