@emli8100 You’re not borderline and I’m quite sure you know that
@wormholes Thanks for the reassurance, and I’m really sorry if that irked you in any way. I genuinely was not trying to humblebrag or show off. It’s just that I thought Berkeley would have really high standards and a high average profile for their freshmen because it’s pretty up there, so I didn’t know how I measured up. And I heard that LOR’s went to “borderline applicants.”
That tone was still awfully arrogant.
@ByteZz LMAO in which post, dude? Can you explain to me what SPECIFIC wording makes it sound cocky? Sorry but if you knew me in real life, you’d know that I HATE HATE HATE HATE pretentious people and have sworn not to become one. I honestly did not know I wasn’t borderline. Everyone has told me that my 2240 is low, especially for being Asian. I only gave my GPA because I wanted to give people enough information to judge, not because I wanted to “show off.” I don’t think I am a genius or Mozart or anything. I WORK for that GPA, so it’s not like I think I’m “naturally smart.” I know I have many flaws and am not talented in many, MANY areas.
‘Borderline applicant, yeah?’
Maybe it was just the voice that I was reading it with.
Also, I despise being patronized.
@ByteZz That was meant to be read in an inquisitive tone. Like I’ve mentioned, I genuinely DID NOT know 2240 wasn’t low, especially for being Asian. EVERYONE told me it would be a weakness in my application. Thank you for clarifying everything.
@emli8100 http://admissions.berkeley.edu/studentprofile Don’t know if you’ve seen this but there’s a lot of info here that would probably help you
Does anyone know if any people who got LOR requests last year got Regents?
Will Regents be announced on Feb 12 just like last year?
For all the people who got LoR request, the deadline to submit LoR was Jan 15 right? So if I did not get an email after Jan 15, that means they won’t be asking for LoRs anymore right? Or is the deadline some date else?
@Desiree2 I assume deadline for all LoR (I had mine requested beginning of December but a friend of mine had his requested mid-January, and we both had same deadline) was Jan. 15, so I think they won’t be asking for any more for class of 2021
@tamano Thanks for the heads up, so Jan 15 is the deadline then yeah. I think it is unlikely I will need to send in a LoR. good luck to u and ur friend
