How did you get into Berkeley?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley

<p>Just wondering what are the profiles of those who got into Berkeley.</p>

<p>I hear this question a lot, and the easiest way is to simply look at the profiles of those who were accepted last year. After a long dig (the search function isn’t working properly) I finally found it. Enjoy:</p>

<p>I copied the homework of my classmates, cheating on tests, and got someone else to take my SATs</p>

<p>hahaha, I studied my rear end off, that’s how!</p>

<p>Ahhh!! This is seriously killing me. I already got admitted to 5 out of 6 CSU’s I applied to for backup. The UC admissions decisions are just…ahhh… =(</p>

<p>No offense… but that’s why they are CSUs. If you got a 3.0 GPA you’re basically in.</p>

<p>How can you convert your GPA into a “UC” GPA?</p>

12

<p>Look at the UC application web site which defines the courses that are accepted in the categories a-g. Only approved classes are counted. Only classes in the Soph and Junior years are used to calculate GPA. </p>

<p>Then, record the letter grades but eliminate any + or - to sum up the points: A=4, B=3 . . .</p>

<p>Add 1 point for every approved AP class semester in those two years, up to a maximum of 8 semester points.</p>

<p>Divide that sum by the number of approved class semesters.</p>

<p>im pretty sure being local helped in my case</p>
