Remember freshman year grades arenā€™t calculated in gpa we are basically talking about 10-11 and out of the 13 criteria points assessed 1 is academic improvement. You donā€™t know how each UC ranks the criteria. Plus you donā€™t know who took community college courses, or what people did outside of school. You just know the image based off of in school perception.

2661

I applied computer science

2662

does anyone know how new the ccdss school is?

2663

or they are just likable or at least, able to project likability on paper. maybe the AO got tired of reading about the same crap over and over and picked someone that they think may help improve Calā€™s reputation as a cutthroat, grade-deflating, no-fun, institution and put it back on top over UCLA

Packed depending on what program. I did my research for this

2666

worst take iā€™ve ever heard

2667

wdym packed? like classes over crowded? I applied cdss CS too

2668

i would hold back on judging others due to just what you know about them in school. berkeley admissions especially is incredibly holistic and you dont know what their backgrounds/ecs/essays are like. if they got in (berkeley astro is like 99% accurate), aoā€™s found something special in them and they deserve it!

They admit a lot for some majors like DS. About 2,000 last year committed for it so around 4,000 probably got in for DS last year. Expect it to be the same this year. Itā€™s gonna be crowded for DS courses

2671

yea seconded, someone from my school last year (fairly competitive 1-2 EECS a year) got into EECS with super low course rigor and low gpa, I think berkeley is just very holistic

2672

2000? thatā€™s like 10x more than the CS class. last I heard they cs had like 200 admits
