Hi! I am an upcoming senior and I’d like to know my chances at entering into the Berkeley EECS program which I hear is very prestigious. From anyone out there, I’d like to hear your honest opinion about my chances and to also give some advice. I know that whether I am the best candidate or not, there is not a guaranteed admission into the program. Although, I’d really like to hear what you guys might have to say and this would really help me. Thank you for your time!
