you are really banking on pity here…
you don’t have anything which would be considered new and compelling
in terms of academics which is the basic appeal req…
very sad about your friend but do you honestly think they don’t
see thousands of this type of story?
a better tribute to your friend would be for you to
attend one of the schools you were admitted to and do so
with all your heart and mind…

ya…i just re-read your letter and you basically provided a bunch of people who don’t care
reasons why your deceased friend would be a good candidate for Berkeley but you BARELY mention
the most important thing========YOU
