<p>I was wondering what the stats of those who are receiving the freshman questionnaire in order to see what the apps of borderline students looks like. This would probably be a good baseline for chances threads as well.</p>
<p>I would also be interested to know.</p>
<p>My son got one.
WGPA: 4.3 (UW 3.8ish)
ACT 30
SAT 2000
Lots of EC’s (choir, theater, clubs, sports, volunteer, etc.)
special circumstance (dad died in 2012)</p>
<p>to coquimom: i am very sorry for your loss. all the best to you and your kids</p>
<p>I got one.
WGPA: 3.93 (UW 3.4ish)
SAT: 2110
Strong EC’s, leadership
Special Circumstance (single parent w/ chronic illness, low-income, lots of family responsibilities)</p>
<p>I get the sense that it’s for people with extenuating circumstances. Berkeley wants to give them a chance to elaborate more on it. Two of my friends received them, and both of them have a medical issue that has affected their schoolwork, but not so much as to make them seem like uncompetitive students.</p>
<p>I got one but I don’t exactly have extraordinary circumstances.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.85 UW/4.33 W
SAT: 1590
ACT: 24
Decent EC’s, did a special Health project in my Junior year
I guess my special circumstance is that I’m low income and in a single parent household…</p>
