So far, we have just watched all the admitted student videos for parents on navigating the colleges and read a lot of literature. I have been waiting for finals to be over to begin contacting the advisors directly - I am sure they are overloaded right now.
It appears that a lot of students are hired for marketing, promotions and branding jobs from the mass communications and media studies major - however, even that requires a 3.2 average at the end of her sophomore year and it is also heavily impacted. Why would Berklely admit 50 - 70 percent more students than can be successfully admitted to the major of their choice - it seems like a shell game!
