Advice: If you don’t have the best GPA, don’t be discouraged. Get the best GPA you can and make up for it with the other components of your application. As you all know, Berkeley is very selective about the kind of student they want. Stand out and be yourself. I know the application process is intimidating, but just stay true to yourself and YOUR passions. Good luck future applicants!
