@1996Tori It is in Northern California, about 30-40 minutes away from San Francisco and Oakland. It is a beautiful and diverse campus. Admissions largely depend on prospective majors and whether or not you are an incoming high school graduate or a transfer student. As an economics major, I will be transferring to UC Berkeley with a 4.0, though a student with the recommended 3.8 GPA for impacted majors should be admitted. Executive student council members seem to have a decent priority, as well.
University of California Berkeley (Cal) ranking drops. In 2004, for example, the London-based Times Higher Education ranked Cal the second leading research university in the world, just behind Harvard; in 2009 that ranking had tumbled to 39th place
@stuarths@stuarths That's exactly what I would have said to him. I mean come on, Einstein once taught here. The engineering school is tops in the world. This looks more like a smearing effort to me. Eew... :|
What is the percentage of admission for foreigners? And the criteria? I read the website but I would like to know more. This is just after Stanford and Princeton on my list.
@GoAnimeStar you could get in if you transfer in from a california school like santa monica. talk to your counselor. if you want to go here that badly, you can do it.
@520showluo i think so!! I still have to hear back from one more school, but as of now, there's a 99% chance that I will be going! how bout you? are you planning to do fpf?
Ok so I'm a sophomore in high school (in Maryland) with a 3.8 unweighted/4.3 weighted GPA. I got a 2150 on my PSAT and a 33 on my practice ACT. I will have taken 7 APs by the end of my junior year. Captain of mock trial and debate team. What would you guys say my chances are. Thanks.
All of these years, my aspirations were to attend an ivy. When I realize that a lot of the students applying were beyond my level by un-human amounts, I started thinking about the UC system. I didn't realize how good this school was until recently. When I think about getting accepted by U.C. Berkelely, I feel really ambitious inside - and gain motivation to start working hard again. Maybe my dream will come true - and I might see some of you in 2012.
Berkeley is a great school and by most rankings the top public school in the country but I have to disagree with you on it being as difficult to get in to as Ivy League schools. Based on admission rates Berkeley is easier to get into than those private schools.
@Seebr115 That's because admissions rates include California residents, who have a much higher admissions rate because it's a public university. The admissions rates for internationals is as low as the easiest ivy's.
Point being public schools have higher admission rates, and we are talking about overall admission rates if you want to break it down into sub-categories you can.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i got admitted to stanford, berkeley, yale, harvard. I plan on going to cal state fullerton as it appears to me, based on comments on these blogs, matriculating students at these schools are full of manure.
lol, I find it funny that even though you were supposedly admitted to such pretigious colleges, you fail at capitalizing any proper nouns. You were admitted to Stanford, Berkeley, Yale, and Harvard. Right. Keep telling yourself that bud.
Yeah okay, how do you apply to all these good schools and get in and then decide to go a Cal State? You're either lying (which you probably are), poor (which is stupid cause their is always financial aide, and schools always look at an income before accepting students, so if you got into those schools your either rich or well off), or just have a lazy work ethic and don't wanna compete at a good school like those. But I'm sure your just lying. Go Bears!
I got admitted to both UC Berkeley and UCLA. UCLA has always been my dream school, but a lot of people have told me that Berkeley is a good school too. I don't know where to go. Can someone give me some advice, please...
are you sure you already got into UC Berkeley? I got an e-mail saying that freshman admission decisions were going to be posted March 26, 2009 online. So you are either a liar or have some connection to the school that enabled you to get accepted early.
carlos: maybe he got regents? i'm oos, so i'm not totally sure what it is, but i've heard that you can get it and be guaranteed admission. or something like that.
tvwatch: there's no early decision for ucb.
i got into ucla also! waiting a couple more hours for berkeley decisions to come out!
Well....I think that quarters don't give you time to slack off...so you end up with better grades...and better at managing your time. I think this was the least of my worries. They have the same tuition, but since I live in LA, commuting would spare me housing costs. I'm paying my tuition solely on scholarships, so it was a big decision. I couldn't just go and expect to see what happens; money was a big factor which makes me hate the fact that I'm poor.
I got into UC's at Berkeley, Los Angeles, Irvine, and Santa Barbara as a transfer. I'm still deciding where to go...I have been convinced to go to Berkeley because it's a top school, but my financial situation limits that decision. Is UCLA worth it? It's not everyday that you get into a top school like Berkeley in the Engineering department (Bioengineering). Any advise? Would paying for my expenses all out of my pocket worth the Berkeley diploma? (At least 40,000 in debt for two years?)
ALL UC's are top notch, but Cal is the best public institution in the world and recognized throughout the world (over the others). Also the most diverse.
Couple of months ago I visited a startup in Westwood (UCLA) and talked to founders: couple of UCLA profs and PhD candidates. I (jokingly) apologized for having gone to Cal (30 yrs ago); they (jokingly but begrudgingly) acknowledged that I was smarter. :D We had a laugh because we're brothers in a sense. Go to a UC; Cal if you can!
Thank you napaold. I made the biggest decision of my life just on Sunday whether to ultimately send in my SIR to Cal or UCLA, and I chose UCLA. I pondered on it for a whole month, and despite that my heart was set on Cal, finacially UCLA was more realistic, since my whole life is in LA, most importantly my job, which pays my bills. It would had been great to have attended Cal, but I will try not to look back on my decision and be happy with UCLA.
its totally worth it..and if you can get any aid to help, and have some sort of a job while attending, it will make it even easier to pay for. dont pass it up..
information is fine, but you MUST consider your audience. who else is it for? if the audience doesn't like the voice, they don't like it. that's all. take such criticism to improve what you want to do.
very well tour... thanx
