<p>what happened to the 2nd language req?
i don’t see it… but what do i know i might be blind</p>

<p>My first language is Spanish and my Second Language is English… do you think this will work?</p>

<p>err… ah iono about that… lets wait for the next response ^^ i’ll be curious on the answer too
but if u want my gut feeling… doubt it’ll work</p>

<p>I’m going to call UCB tommorow and see what they tell me about that.</p>

<p>Besides that what do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>i m applying as well
ur grades are flawless
u better recheck their req courses coz if u don’t fulfill them ur chances are 0
u and i are in the same group. ECs lack uniqueness =/ sigh
it all comes down to ur essay i guess
i m still casting a mold for my silver bullet essay ^^</p>

<p>yeah ECs arent that great, but, REsume is only 15% of the whole thing… grades and essays are more important…</p>

<p>are you applying to Haas?</p>

<p>what are ECs??
im also working on my requirements for Haas school</p>

<p>yes sir~ applying to haas…
sigh… stressed</p>

<p>ECs = Extra Curriculars…</p>

<p>so did u call UCB? what did they say</p>

<p>Haven’t had the time, will try tomorrow…</p>

<p>Bump… any more chances?</p>

<p>@Guardiangel: I called UCB and they say I can submit my HS grades for my Spanish Classes for my foreign language requirement.</p>

<p>Transfer student admit rate for those that have the right prerequisites is ~20%.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>eh…pcristiani…the UC system doesn’t use affirmitive action anymore so you can drop trying to play the race card. </p>

<p>(sorry everyone, it just really bothers me…and I’m hispanic too!)</p>
