<p>I’m just curious. knowing how selective Berkeley is, it is a challenge to see who can really get in regardless of GPA.
I’m enrolled in a Community college in CA and am following the recommended courses, though I am a B average student with only one C for a general class and one C as a prerequisite, other 4 classes which are mostly prereqs are all Bs and one class with an A in a general class.I would like to major in Business Administration. </p>
<p>I am 20 years old, I have a learning difference due to a genetic mutation, I am a pilot and I am also a flight instructor ( I teach people how to fly). I am also working with a few friends of mine getting a (better) non profit organization started for younger pilots. One of us will be speaking at a forum at this big airshow in Oshkosh late july to pitch our idea and hopefully receive donations so that we can expand. But, there is no shame in failing if it doesn’t work, at least we tried. </p>
<p>I know my grades aren’t the best but I had been extremely depressed through out the entire year and i’m just now barely recovering, so my academic performance just plummeted and I didn’t do as well as i’d hoped. </p>
<p>Earning my Flight instructor certificate was by far the most challenging and difficult achievement I have ever reached for, the initial pass rate is 62% for CFI applicants. I passed a couple weeks ago and I’m profoundly proud of myself for this accomplishment that I literally burst into tears when the examiner passed me. Hard work pays off…
Dealing with my learning difference has been an even bigger obstacle to deal with…</p>
<p>All in all, I just want to have some kind of reassurance from other people and know that it is possible to be admitted into this selective school even with my kind of academic performance. </p>
