<p>Hello there. So I applied to UC Berkeley as an English major. I honestly was not expecting/still am not expecting anything from Berkeley as my statistics aren't that great since I've been ill thanks to my heart condition.</p>
<p>Around January I got an email saying they wanted me to fill out a Supplemental Questionnaire in addition to a Letter of Recommendation. So I get to the site and when I looked at the questions they were all pertaining to my heart condition as I had disclosed it to them in my personal essay and application. In addition, they then wanted a copy of my 504 Plan that was set up with my teachers/counselor/assistant principal. I filled it out and all but...</p>
<p>I know that UCs usually do not ask for a letter or extra questions. So I was wondering, do you think this questionaire/letter of recommendation could impact my admisssion chances? </p>
