<p>I read this thread and almost everyone on here has gotten only 1 questionnaire. So I’m curious as to why I got two questionnaires along with the letter of rec. I got the disability one, and also the one that asks about “Does your high school provide adequate educational resources (such as teachers, counselors, assistance with course selection and college admission planning, books, facilities, size and location)? If not, please explain.”</p>
<p>Any comments?</p>
<p>I seriously thought that Berkeley was too high of a reach for me to even be considered in the applicant pool. I’m so glad that I received a questionnaire, but hopefully they don’t look forward to seeing a letter of rec. because I don’t have any teachers to ask at this point. Letters of rec. were supposed to be requested last year before December. ;-;</p>
<p>I received the one with 13 questions about the school condition, etc. I didn’t think I had a chance for UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>I have a 3.90 UC GPA, 1500 SAT, 21 ACT… But I believe my extra curricular activities, community service, and personal statements gave me a chance. I’ve been a member of over 10 clubs, in which I took on leadership positions in 8 of them (either President or Vice President), Regional Champion for FIRST Robotics, competed at Nationals, internship (tutor), and roughly 300 hours of community service hours.</p>
<p>I just got this today too, and it was the questions starting with my school conditions.</p>
<p>I didn’t think I had a chance for ucb, I have 3.22 UC GPA and 2110 SAT1. My GPA is the lowest I’ve seen on the forums for people with augmented review… That’s discouraging. But does my family income being $0 for the past few years have anything to do with this? I don’t think I got the disability supplementary review, I got the borderline one.
And I also had really good essays and rreeeaallyyy good ECs. But how can they even consider me…?</p>
<p>Woah, you guys superbumped this post x)</p>
<p>I got the supplement yesterday that the majority on this thread got: the one asking about school facilities, counselor and teacher encouragement, family and friend influence on deciding to attend a 4-year college, work, advanced classes, etc. **Does anyone know for sure if this one is academic borderline or the socioeconomic/family one? Thank you so much. My stats are as follows:</p>
<p>UC GPA: 4.19
UW GPA: 3.87 (end of junior year)
SAT I: 2040 composite
ACT: 32 composite
SAT II: 770 Math II. 760 US History. 750 Chem.
Rank: top 2%, ELC
Low income (<$60k)
9 APs total, with honors and pre-ap classes, graphic design focused electives</p>
<p>If anything, I think my 3 Bs and my essays are what provided the doubt.
I think maybe they sent me one to see if I would continue to get Bs in English (which I didn’t this semester 
- straights A’s yayyy), and maybe to understand why I got so many Bs last year. I was actually a little surprised to receive this, given that my stats are average, if not above average, for UCB admits. Does anyone know approximately what percentage of applicants receive some type of supplement? Thank you!</p>
<p>only a few percent, small single digit.</p>
<p>Approximately 5% of applicants got it this year. 3,000/61,000</p>
<p>What is ucb’s usual acceptance rate for guys like us, does anyone know?</p>
<p>Check out [University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/) for the acceptance rates^</p>
<p>I got the same form as anothergalaxy. My unweighted GPA is around 3.9 and my SAT I is 2280. Maybe we got the form cause most of us applied to Berkeley’s School of Engineering which is highly competitive.</p>
<p>I got the same one as you guys but I don’t know which type of questionnaire it is, maybe we got the borderline, or the socioeconomic one. However I applied to Berkeley for Philosophy.</p>
<p>I applied as Undecided and under the interest of applying to the Haas School of Business in my Junior year.</p>
<p>I got mine on the 10th and I’m filling it out now, so quick question does anyone know if I should just answer “No” and end it at that for certain questions that do not apply to me such as “If you were involved in an academic outreach program (EAOP, MESA, Talent Search, Puente, Upward Bound, AVID, etc.) during high school, explain your level of involvement and what you gained from your participation. How did your involvement affect your academic achievement?” should I just leave it as “No”?</p>
<p>Should the responses to the questions seem as if they’re personal statements? Or should you answer them straight to the point?</p>
<p>My son got the talent one. He used as many words as he needed to completely answer the questions. I think most of them ended up being a paragraph. He made sure that the answers were well written. You want to treat this as a college application. It is better to do too much than too little. Basically, this is your last chance to sell yourself so don’t waste the opportunity. Oh, my son was accepted to Undeclared Engineering. He is now an EECS major. Good luck. :-)</p>
<p>You are indeed selling yourself, and this truly is your last and best chance. Don’t blow it off unless you don’t want to go to Cal.</p>
<p>If you believe in yourself, and believe that you can be successful at Cal, whatever the odds, whatever is thrown at you, here’s your chance to prove it. Take the challenge! Don’t be afraid!</p>
<p>got it on the 18th. applied as a history major. my brother goes to cal. 3 of my friends got it as well. published an ap us history cram kit on kindle.</p>
<p>13 questions=borderline?</p>
<p>3.65 uc gpa. (horrible 10th grade. unemployment problems)
3.67 uw gpa (9-11)
30 act
800 math 2
770 us h
5 ap us</p>
<p>took 13 APs in high school. very involved in extra curs. </p>
<p>how can i take advantage of this opportunity to the max?</p>
<p>where it asks for our fall grades and spring classes - do we list all of our classes and grades or just A-G courses?</p>
<p>i got the talent questionnaire, and i was just wondering if this meant that i was a borderline applicant? i didn’t think my stats were borderline ):</p>
<p>I believe you are not borderline. My son wasn’t. I think they want to know more about a talent you mentioned on your application.</p>
<p>What if one of our answers is roughly 5 sentences? Is that sufficient enough?</p>
