@Cayton I did this for you.</p>

<p>@ucastell‌ </p>

<p>I told you you’d get in several months back! I knew you would! But please, just choose UCLA over Berkeley. :P</p>

<p>@FinanceWiz‌ </p>

<p>Congrats, man! Haas is a great school! I knew you’d get in too!! :smiley: </p>

<p>@lindyk8‌ </p>

<p>That’s great. Didn’t your daughter already SIR to UCLA, though? :P</p>

<p>Anyway, on to me:</p>

<p>Accepted!</p>

<p>Major: philosophy</p>

<p>Pre-reqs completed: none(Berkeley’s philosophy pre-reqs aren’t available at most community colleges)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.83</p>

<p>Why you think you were accepted: Great GPA and I completed quite a few philosophy classes already.</p>

<p>Congrats to all who’ve been accepted!</p>

<p>also, does anyone else think the Financial Aid statements are really low? </p>

<p>13k for tution and housing is so much lower than UCLA
how is this possible?</p>

<p>Just curious, who got in as a History Major. What was your GPA? I was going to apply to UCB but did not because I live in LA and did not want to leave SoCal. Plus I somewhat knew I would get into UCLA. </p>

<p>But, Congrats to all that got in. </p>

<p>when i first saw people posting their decisions at 3, I thought they are joking…
<em>Clarify: THIS IS NO JOKE GUYS! Decisions are UP! CONGRATS to those that are ADMITTED!</em></p>
