@bomerr Yeah thats what my counselor said, i mean its not like Im against learning I just dont have the time to take all those classes. Plus Im already taking 70 units already so most of my spare time is spent on EC’s. But I get what youre saying about qualified applicants getting rejected, so I’m not betting the farm on UCB.
And I hear what mom and pop are saying, joining a bunch of EC’s and just kinda floating probably wouldn’t help. BUT when push comes to shove and 500 other applicants are exactly like me GPA wise then its really gonna come down to who looks better on paper. Ive talked to a berkeley rep through TAP and she’s encouraged me to get involved in the community as much as possible, without jeopardizing my GPA of course.
