Berkeley 2011 Appeal Thread

<p>I wouldnt say my new information was “new and compelling.” I basically explained why I choose to not attend a community college and instead went to a 4yr (based of family troubles and financial reasons) My gpa was decent (3.92) and better than some of the philosophy majors that got in, which were around (3.6 from what i saw on college confidential/ statistics)…of course I don’t know why i was rejected but it seemed (thro comparing myself to stats on here and on ucstatsticsfinder) that transferring from a 4yr at least played some role in my rejection. anyways …i explained this all much better in the actual appeal (which was 3 pages long… idk if that is long or short compared to how long they are usually or even what people usually talk about in appeals). On top of that I talked about my respect for specific professors of philosophy at berkeley to show how dedicated i am to the subject/school. I showed a lot of admiration I have for the school and the professors </p>

<p>what was yours about, jordan?</p>
