<p>44% is hella high.</p>
<p>Eschatos, how do you know that they read your statment?</p>
<p>They sent me a questionnaire consisting of thirteen items. The first question was: 1) Do you want us to consider the illness that you have disclosed to us during our comprehensive review of your application?</p>
<p>Given that I give absolutely no indication that I've been sick in my life outside the personal statement, it seems likely that they read it.</p>
<p>eschatos, </p>
<p>is the the actual personal statement you sent to them? or is that only a summary of your personal statement? im sure you'll get in....</p>
<p>OMG, i didn't get a questionnaire...</p>
<p>chibiutena...next time post in the Berkeley OMG thread hehe..</p>
<p>don't worry about it..i didn't get a questionnaire either...you need to chill heh</p>
<p>i can.t i have finals tomorrow. its like anticipation minced with freakish panic.</p>
<p>Omg You Have Finals Tommorow...</p>
<p>Thats A Burnn...</p>
<p>chibiutena is the only person who's really put up anything to do with his/her statement. </p>
<p>The gist of my personal statement was that despite having a rare disease that causes me to generate recurring cancer, watching my brother die during freshman year, burying my grandfather--who helped raise me--the same week my brother died, and finding out my mom had late stage breast cancer, I managed to accrue 60 transferable credits and maintain a GPA of 3.5.</p>
<p>thats depressing. I hope berkeley takes you because that sounds really hard to do.</p>
<p>Thanks, Chib. Hopefully we both get an offer of admission.</p>
<p>More likely you than me. I'm half hoping for a rejection because I don't know if I could make a decision between where I am now (Guaratneed pre-professional) vs. UCLA vs. berkeley- before June 1 no less.</p>
<p>3.43 GPA inter UC transfer.</p>
<p>im cheering for eschatos</p>
<p>3.43 is not compleatly out of the question... (I hope)</p>
<p>BobPatterson, I think you'l make it if you're already doing pretty well at another UC</p>
<p>Eschatos, dam it i wish i wrote the whole truth about my personal statment but i felt that surviving sexual abuse and living with my abuser was like a highly inapprorpriate topic, but now i feel like a duma**</p>
<p>I think its a highly moving topic though I do feel like it might be something you find uncomfortable talking about...since its very personal.</p>
<p>you think i could appeal with it?</p>
<p>I was unsure whether or not I should include the fact that I had an eating disorder at the beg. of cc, because I thought it might make them uncomfortable. But I did it anyway...</p>
