Hey, I am a current UC Berkeley undergraduate, and I recently started a blog about admissions tips as well as college life tips. I have three posts in my “Admissions Tips” tab, two are the UC Essays I wrote and one about an article by a person who read applications for UC Berkeley. Check out my blog and it’ll definitely help you out.
If you have any questions about applying to UC Berkeley in particular, feel free to comment on my blog or message me on here.

This is the one about my first UC essay. I also wrote about my second UC essay, so look for that post too
[HOW I THOUGHT THROUGH + WHAT I WROTE IN MY UC ESSAY PROMPT 1 | Breaching UC Berkeley](http://berkeleybreach.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2013/07/25/what-i-wrote-in-my-uc-essay-prompt-1/)

This is the amazing article that just came out today written by a person who worked for the UC Berkeley admissions one year, and really explains how the admissions people look at your application:
Lifting the Veil on the Holistic Process at the University of California, Berkeley - The New York Times;

I wrote about that article in my blog too, by condensing it and explaining the important parts. Hope it helps! :D
