Welcome to Berkeley [UC Berkeley]

[PhantomLyric]

I just applied. I read something about being in the top 9% of your class. I believe I am, but that's quite some pressure.

[8soccer4life8]

the 2 couple in the beginning r perfect , and this uc berkly is sweet

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

UC Berkeley ROCKS.

[WHATScivilABOUTwar]

these people are so neurotic

[jvj420]

im so jealous, my path in highschool didnt lead to Berkeley.

[Distinctforever]

Haha I go to Stanford. What about Stanford rejects?

[sighedeffects]

@Distinctforever It's not that Cal students are Stanford Rejects... it is that they cannot afford Stanford.

[girlwatchingvideo]

I got into Berkeley- and the campus was amazing..

but im scared.

I don't know if I'll be too swamped, overworked, and neurotic to enjoy being there.

any advice

[theNimboo]

@girlwatchingvideo I hope you decided to go! Its never a good decision to not go to a place cause it'll be too hard. Accept the challenge!

[toransu]

Stanford is a better school. Period.

[tryanjohnson]

Good luck.  Berkeley is the best. Worst case scenario, you'll be happy when you leave -and well prepared for the world!

[rkartist6341]

"Go back to your rat infested backyard (New Yorka)

Lots of peace and love. LOL

[becusi]

I want to go to berkeley soooooo badly

[gmderieg]

the last two coments are from people who could not get in. UC Berkeley is the most prestigious public university in the world, and has the best graduate program among all universities.

[calolmos]

@gmderieg the last two comments are from people who did get in. I wonder why you thought they didn't?

Go Bears!

[naughtyice]

don't buy what they are trying to sell you

berkeley isn't everything people

[e521soediv]

CSU long beach is way better than this.

[jaeshim1]

I got into CAL BERKELEY, and yes it took a lot of hard work!!!

But, in the end it's all worth it :)

[Rahooligan92]

I pray every day, and I am working as hard as possible to make it into Berkeley. Although my GPA is decent [3.7 unweighred], my extracurriculars are great, and so are my test scores. I just hope my personality can show to the guys at the admissions office, and I can get in.

[stevehwan]

i didnt work hard at all and i got in....

[tensaishusuke]

SAME HERE!!!!

[kulyia]

can i ask what ur gpa was?? and other important stuff? lol..jc

[Cherivier]

GO BEARS :)

[mwan245]

i prefer ucla or usc

[uhhuhcheckit]

Maybe you would for a social scene. But, if you go to college for academics, Berkeley is phenomenal!

[kurenai325]

provided he exists

[lateralPerception]

He does, open the eyes of your eyes!

[cnyeas]

How do you know he does? Data? Evidence? Observations? Experiments?

[SFforlife]

I wish I could go to Berkeley..it's always been my favorite school. I'm a Senior in HS right now...not that it matters, I won't get into Cal....sigh.

[bbang1989]

why not?

[Atoweha]

yea my college advisor told me that i would not make it even tho my grades and SAT scores are higher than the average student at Berkley

[tulipsxw2]

I hope you really didn't listen to your college advisor. My grades are high and I have really good extracirricular activities but my SATs aren't extremely high. What's unique about Berkeley is that they will take everything into consideration and you never know what could happen. I hope you applied because anything can happen and if you did, I wish you good luck. I can't wait for my letters!

[shackleton555]

you brought up SUCH a good point. I am so glad you mentioned this. You have given me hope and i am sure many others, because what you have said is absolute truth.

[MikeyIckey]

screw that, apply anyway!

[Kratosauron0]

Very interesting video.

Unfortunately, "A Lot of Hard Work" isn't exactly that specific. Average GPAs? SAT scores? Extracurricular activities? Obviously, you need a lot of work, but...

[joharmon86]

It's so funny that someone made a comment about race and admissions because UC Berkeley has NO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION and makes admissions decisions based purely on merit, which is why the plurality of students are Asian. That is true with all California public universities because of the ban on race sensitive admissions. It's the law and it has been for a while.

[sputnikANDRE]

I went to Berkeley as an international student from Germany. UC Berkeley is such a great place... but you guys deserve also free education like we have in Germany.

[lhugurl]

I really want to go to Berkeley. I'm starting high school, so, I'll have this as my biggest motivation to work hard. I will be taking as advanced classes as I can, hopefully I can write a killer essay, and do well on the SAT, ACT, etc. I really wasn't to get in...

[Leverandon]

I graduated from Berkeley last year. Its an amazing place.

[TheJawsusNSexmanShow]

fuck they're all cali kids...this really makes my sad since ill be applying as ain int. student :(

[JOODYBOOTY]

Im attending Berkeley as a transfer student. It took hard work, fall 07 i took 22 units got a 4.0 and spring 08 i took 25 units and got a 4.0! So apocalypse1o1.. keep up the good work and just keep up the good work! you could do it... CAls a GREAT school

[skyhighyourass]

The majority of people at Berkeley are fugly.

[Incipidone]

got that right, and im a sophomore all the hot ones chose ucla over cal

[devolushun]

I've always wanted to go to Berkeley, but now I HAVE to. As an aspiring freshman in high school, can anyone give me any advice or information that can provide me a bigger shot towards attending this dream school of mine. Of course the GPA and SAT is a given, but I'm stuck as to finding something that will make me stand out, or finding something Berkeley in particular would like to see in me. Any advice is mucho appreciated!

[alyuhua]

I'm heading to Cal this fall :) The only advice I have for you is to be active in some student organizations, athletics, or community service. They also take your transcript into heavy consideration, and they want to see that you can take difficult classes and succeed. And geez, you're only a freshman in HS! Try to have fun in HS too.

[Spike00513z]

Interview skills presented in the video: So i clicked to see and i was like yess and then my dad was like yesSSSS!!!

You are right...

[cyrusthedon]

don't be an asshole

[lorelaigilmor]

hello some of you know how can I do to study there, i'm foreign student.Are there any financial support and scholarships , u can give me any link or somethin else thnx

[ErotikAuthor]

I have the same problem, have you received any new information on the financial problem?

[RMlayug]

That Asian guy who said: it took a lot of hard work... wearing green sport shirt is a very handsome man.

[idricool]

Lot of hard work... I am 15 and I can easily get there. It's just I have to wait becaus eI have jumped so much.

[idricool]

Actually its not hard work. You just need to not be a lazy person like me :)^^.

[vegasbaby4421]

i just got in! im excited!!

[xxximreallycoolxxx]

"thanks to Berkeley, I feel like.. my life is finally starting."

i soo know what he means.

[flirtzwithgirls]

For those of you aspiring to go to UCB, as a community college transfer to UCB, I suggest to go to community college first. To some extent it is a bit easier to transfer instead straight out of high school. But of course there's a lot more to it. If you want to know more, message me or etc.

[apocalypse1o1]

I really want to transfer to UC Berkeley. I just finished high school and I'm in a community colege. Got any advice?

[lilsunflower]

go bears!

[ngandomi]

I love the South Hall's architecture and overall facade! The bear that was added later because it was chosen to be the mascot is incredible!

[berkeleygirl010]

i LOVE this school! and i'm only 14 years old. i love everything about it. i just wish i had more information about it. if anyone out there goes to the school and wants to advise me, feel free! can't wait to go to UC Berkeley when i'm older!

[whiteandgreen]

hey calm down mate

i didnt knew where to go to college and all, so i went to england and then i was transfered and spent a whole semester there in berkeley and its smooth. yeah. but dont get too excited, because it has its flaws and all

one thing i really liked from here was the rock scene, and if you dont have nothing better to do, go to the gilman. fuckin awesome.

[laczkoszilvia871028]

I agree with you.

Where are you from?

[berkeleygirl010]

i LOVE this school so much, and i'm only 14! i really hope i get in when i'm older. i just wish i could go there and just get some information and stuff. if anyone who goes to school there would like to advise me, feel free!

[usayddong]

I wanna go to CAL

I envey all of you guys graduated from there

[usayddong]

I wanna go to CAL

if i had better gpa and SAT stuff

[berkeleygirlie]

yay!

[gobears236]

I agree, Berkeley is the best university anywhere. I'm so excited that I'll be back at Cal in August. Sproul Plaza here I come again...GO BEARS!!

[goblue1162]

is it hard to get in there? and ho many AP courses did you take in high school?

[seans10]

We're doomed.

[cesarlee84]

GO BEARS!!! Berkeley's the best University on Earth, no doubt about it! LOVED MY TIME HERE AND WOULDN'T EXCHANGE IT FOR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

[cesarlee84]

GO BEARS!!! No doubt in my mind, Berkeley is BY FAR the best university on Earth!!! LOVED MY TIME HERE!!!

[RMlayug]

Berkeley is arguably the BEST University on earth!

[krayzel]

i miss you liah

[silverflame111]

i really hope i get into cal tell me what it takes ????

[stevehwan]

when the black guy says "Clean" he means clean compared to Compton.

i can say affirmative action for all the blacks.

[seans10]

Actually, many of the surrounding areas are unclean and unsafe, not unlike Compton.

[orujah]

You're an asshole. Just because you couldn't get in doesn't mean someone else was admitted by special circumstances. Grow up and learn to accept other races and ethnicities. P.S. I'm not surprised admissions didn't want you to become one of us. Go Cal!

[alvaro530]

looks like the best school ever.

:]

[direpoetics]

Yay, Berkeley! I'm moving up in January, cannot wait to be there!! :D

[twankyjoe]

'06 baby! God I love that school. Loved it when I was there, and I love it even more now that I'm not. And Go BEARS FOOTBALL!! Oh, and ACADEMICS!!! woohooo, lol.

No, seriously though. If you little punks manage to get in, make sure you do some good stuff there and after - don't f-up the name of Cal. Make it better.

[mofofosho88]

THIS SCHOOL SUCKS!

[gabsylv]

in some ways, but every school has its ups and downs

[Isosohungy]

you're just spiteful you didn't get in

[reallyanicegirl]

Go to UCSC instead.

[thevigiles]

...and get a second-rate education.

[Crucifier1100]

applying for fall '08.. hope i get in

[ljdacool]

@Crucifier1100 did u get into uc berk?
