Happy Pi Day everyone! I am ready to get crushed once tau time rolls in. :((
@SD2020 I think you’re looking for the MIT thread, lol. I feel you though
Is anyone else getting these emails from Berkeley about how great their global program for Freshman is- ie Madrid, Rome or London your first year? Are they trying to tell us something?
@crockmom when was the last time you got an email?
@madsurf- around Feb 18
I agree with @firstsax . My son with ACT 34, UW GPA 4.0 SAT math II 800, SAT chem 760, 12 APS mostly 5s. lots of achivement nationally and state 1st, 2nd places in math competitions, AIME qualifier for all 4 years. lots of ECs , but got rejected.
cannot even imagine how they select students for admission.
@itsmyusername - forum hopping too much! 
Its really hard to tell what these admissions officers are looking for because of the holistic admissions process. I don’t even know anymore based on my stats if I have a chance or not. But its safe to say that having an excellent academic record boosts your chances of getting in.
My college counsellor told me that a student should aim to create an extremely unique student profile for her or himself and than try to sell those unique points to colleges. Thats what they are majorly looking for.
@crockmom I did but it seems like everyone got one.
Is there any correlation between getting the Drake scholarship request and an acceptance from berks?
Hey guys can someone help me… I went back to my UC application to read and go through and I realised I made a stupid mistake. Under the “International Baccalaureate (IB) Exams” section, I accidentally put 4 higher levels instead of 3. I did 3 HL’s and 3 SL’s. Should I call them or something to tell them I made that mistake? and I can’t even update that section. Someone help me please i’ll buy you food if we both get in lol
Just call them @plsplsacceptme
When are Berkeley and UCLA decisions being released?
@Obrigadaa For UCLA people are saying they might come out Friday.
@Obrigadaa The Berkeley portal says that decisions will be released on the 24th.
@Spicykins in the past years, do they actually send out the decisions on the day listed in the portal though?
@janevyl I would assume so
@smartypants57 Yeah I just did and the guy said that all decisions have been made already so at this point I cant really correct my mistake but I can just email the admission officer to note my mistake
All decisions have been made already? That makes me really anxious…
