Why are you anxious about Berkeley?

<p>For me, it's because my one and only B was in US History. As of fall, I'd only finished two history classes out of five (I applied to Berkeley as a history major): US History and Western Civ I, so my major GPA is a 3.5, while my full GPA is 3.95. So, two things come to mind: first, I should've applied under anthropology (4.0 major GPA, all prereqs done in fall), second, I should've applied for classical civ and taken advantage of the 40% acceptance rate, versus the 18% for both history and anthro. </p>

<p>So, what's making all of you doubt that you'll get in? Aside from the obvious fact that even with a 4.0 it's a gamble. :p</p>

<p>I’m more nervous than i’ve ever been in my life…</p>

<p>Particularly because I do not have a 4.0… and the fact that Psych has like a 15% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>I hope TAP saves my ass…</p>

<p>It’s always different with Berkeley. I feel like I’m not what they’re looking for?! …even though NO ONE knows what they are looking for (besides having the grades!) It’s super frustrating! >__<;;</p>

<p>Plus what Andj00 said…PLUS my unnie being at Cal and a Psychology major <em>sighhh</em> so much stress!</p>

4

<p>I’m missing a major REQUIREMENT depending on how they interpret my prereqs. Without meeting all the requirements, it’s an auto-rejection without reading any further into my application; my app won’t even touch an adcoms hand if this rule is followed strictly. But here I am, still holding out hope that my app was strong enough for spring admission.</p>

<p>^^ditto empathy…I SHOULD have all the prereq’s, but if they pull a UCLA on me and base the transferability of my classes on the course description in the catalog I’m SO screwed. If, however, they actually READ the R&C questionaires I sent with all the details and crap I might make it past the initial checklist stage. Otherwise, automatic denial with no chance for appeal FTW!..Stupid OOS english compatibility issues!..grr…</p>

6

<p>Because my GPA is exactly their average (better than below it I guess) for my major.</p>

7

<p>^ My problem is with the english requirement as well. My blood is boiling because I was mildly confident I’d get into Cal and didn’t apply to UCLA. I’m totally wasting my 4.0 if I don’t get into Cal. I could have TAGged into Davis with a 3.0.</p>

8

<p>There’s so many things I could say…</p>

<p>…but I won’t. </p>

<p>Sorry. ): </p>

<p>Yunie<3</p>

<p>basically everything important? oih wells least i tried</p>

10

<p>Psssst, PM me, I’ll keep it on the down low.</p>

11

<p>Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Don’t do this to me!</p>

<p>You guys think YOU have it bad! She’s my cousin and I know SHE knows. GRR! X__X;; </p>

<p>I cried and begged like you wouldn’t believe…):!!!</p>

<p>EDIT: I will TRY and distract myself by feeding my puppies. ):! </3</p>

12

<p>^ Wow, that’s harsh sakurax. Yunie, you should be able to read her body language. If it’s smiles, you’re in. If it’s a faked smile with sadness behind it, probably not.</p>

13

<p>^
Hey, HEY! That’s my job! ): They made it clear I could face some serious charges, haha! I haven’t seen her in agesssss…so…<3 Besides, I’m a Psych major ^__~!</p>

<p>I’m so EVILLL, haha.</p>

<p>Don’t forget to send me a kawaii picture!!! <33333333333333333! (emphasis on the <3!)</p>

14

<p>I think the only thing that could distract me is throwing puppies. And I’m not that desperate YET. Save the puppies, sakurax! :D:D</p>

15

<p>bc i applied to haas…i dont have any hw or tests all wk tho so thats good i guess. i can relax</p>

16

<p>I have a two assignments due and a quiz… Better than having a test this week, but I can’t ride a wave of laziness until friday like I’d prefer.</p>

17

<p>I took a really light course load, and have a bunch of W’s. The most units i’ve taken in a single semester was 13 (I think). I know that they want you to finish college quickly, and i’m afraid they’ll think I will be there for two long.</p>

<p>Which is a bummer because I can’t be there for too long (even though i wish i could stay a long time), because it just costs too much.</p>

18

<p>lol two long? Did you have a reason for taking such light work loads?</p>

19

<p>Yunie, are you Korean?</p>
