-Competitive pianist since the age of 5 (carnegie hall 5 separate times, private lessons with chair of the juilliard music school, Dr. Lowenthal
-pretty below the average stats for berkeley but i believe that my essays really characterized my determenation/ strong leadership and how i’m set on pursuing a path for business that will eventually lead me into Haas.

@jojijoji88 wow that’s pretty wild! I’m glad you shared that. I almost guarantee you that if you had did a Chance Me for Berkeley, I’ll bet most everyone would have said you would have a hard time getting into UCI or UCD, much less Berkeley. Congrats!

Portal still says application is complete and is under review.We are OOS science major.Do we have to wait till march for the decisions?

I heard MET will be mailing out shirts this weekend !! let us know if u receive one cuz I’ll be waiting anxiously for mine

My guess is if you didn’t get notified on the portal by now, March 28 3pm will be the the next big date for the rest of the applicants.

@ProfessorPlum168 Thank you.

I’m still in shock that I got in esp since my ECs aren’t super impressive… maybe they liked my essays?

Some of my friends got a Feb Update: Application In Review email. I don’t have one. Should I worry about that?
