<p>CMC is **** in prestige. I live in Cali and I have never heard of CMC until college application season. No, I haven’t been clueless about colleges until senior year. I’ve still heard of all the HYPMS, ivies, caltech, rice, NYU, UChicago, williams, amherst, swarthmore, etc…</p>
<p>but seriously, berkeley is a ****ing big deal in asia. it’s common for people in my school to get in berkeley and go to a more elite school like HYPMS. However, they still keep that Berkeley acceptance letter, sometimes even frame that. this is because their parents care, and want to show it off to friend’s overseas. you wouldnt show off a CMC letter to your aunt in hong kong.</p>
