Why are you anxious about Berkeley?

<p>Are you a yujah?</p>

<p>^
ROFLMAO, no.</p>

<p>You better go do your homework now, NOW! History Honors project anyone?</p>

<p>Oops!!! “two long” :D. Damn homophones. Spell checker doesn’t catchem.</p>

<p>when I decided that i actually wanted to transfer, it was at an awkward time. I could either take 20 units a semester to finish in a year, or I could take 2 more years for 40 more units. I didn’t want the first option because I don’t have crazy mad skills like some people and i knew i’d be burned out. And, because i had 2 years to complete 40 units, and I didn’t want to pay extra money and work more if I didn’t need to, I took light course loads.</p>

<p>In the extra comments section, I talked about how I used my lighter course load to pursue philosophy further. At my school they only offer 4 philosophy courses. So after I took 'em all, I sat in on two extra Intro to philosophy courses, because all the teachers teach different stuff for that class, so by listening to a different teacher, I essentially took two extra philosophy courses. I also followed entire courses from online free lectures from places like Berkeley.</p>

<p>because it’s my second time applying to cal. first time i did it cuz my parents told me to. but now i really want the acceptance this time around.</p>

<p>go bruins!</p>

<p>Why I’m worried about my application:

  • GPA of 3.72 (psych major)
  • Few ECs because I’ve worked almost full-time while I’ve gone to school (even though work is an EC in a sense)</p>

<p>Why I’m worried personally
-Berkeley has been my dream school since I was a little kid
-My husband and I really don’t want to move for many reasons, primarily because his job, and because his sister is having a baby and is due two weeks before we would have to move if Cal rejects me and I have to go to UCLA</p>

<p>because i got an F in fall 09 that made my GPA drop to 3.6++…</p>

<p>Wow. I’m having a hard time determining CC users’ genders.</p>

<p>Oops, I was talking to her, xD. Ignore my ^!</p>

<p>Oh. lol. Are you Korean too?</p>

<p>I’m not anxious anymore</p>

<p>What ever is meant to happen will happen</p>

<p>^
I keep telling that to my cousin and she doesn’t get it! Congrats, that’s the way to go!</p>

<p>@edmfanatiq
Yes, haha. I’m her cousin!</p>

<p>@bagelsbagels it must be nice jeez!!</p>

<p>As for me, I am exhausted from my hourly mood swings between “I’m definitely in” to " I don’t have a chance." cal is my dream school and I really want this wait to be over.</p>

<p>i’m not that anxious. i got into some schools, the only thing i was worried about was going somewhere else.</p>

<p>I don’t have a 4.0 and my school doesn’t have a TAP program with Berkeley. I don’t know how hot my essays were, and for my major (German), Berkeley is the best in the country.</p>

<p>nvm…</p>

<p>^ Yes they do. It sounds like it doesn’t at your school though.</p>

<p>Yunie put in a good word for your unnie :)</p>

<p>;)
:heart:</p>

<p>Whats worrying me is that the 2 pre reqs arent offered any colleges near me. nothing similar is offered either. so basically no pre reqs. its a easy major though. 40% acceptance rate column. My passion for the Major as written in my personal statement better save my ass.</p>

<p>everything else on my app is SUPERB. grades.ec.volunteerism. activities. personal statement.</p>

<p>I don’t have an upward grade trend. I should have gotten a few B’s to start off instead of getting A’s all the way through.</p>
