<p>44% is hella high.</p>
<p>Eschatos, how do you know that they read your statment?</p>
<p>They sent me a questionnaire consisting of thirteen items. The first question was: 1) Do you want us to consider the illness that you have disclosed to us during our comprehensive review of your application?</p>
<p>Given that I give absolutely no indication that I’ve been sick in my life outside the personal statement, it seems likely that they read it.</p>
<p>eschatos, </p>
<p>is the the actual personal statement you sent to them? or is that only a summary of your personal statement? im sure you’ll get in…</p>
<p>OMG, i didn’t get a questionnaire…</p>
<p>chibiutena…next time post in the Berkeley OMG thread hehe…</p>
<p>don’t worry about it…i didn’t get a questionnaire either…you need to chill heh</p>
<p>i can.t i have finals tomorrow. its like anticipation minced with freakish panic.</p>
<p>Omg You Have Finals Tommorow…</p>
<p>Thats A Burnn…</p>
<p>chibiutena is the only person who’s really put up anything to do with his/her statement. </p>
<p>The gist of my personal statement was that despite having a rare disease that causes me to generate recurring cancer, watching my brother die during freshman year, burying my grandfather–who helped raise me–the same week my brother died, and finding out my mom had late stage breast cancer, I managed to accrue 60 transferable credits and maintain a GPA of 3.5.</p>
<p>thats depressing. I hope berkeley takes you because that sounds really hard to do.</p>
<p>Thanks, Chib. Hopefully we both get an offer of admission.</p>
<p>More likely you than me. I’m half hoping for a rejection because I don’t know if I could make a decision between where I am now (Guaratneed pre-professional) vs. UCLA vs. berkeley- before June 1 no less.</p>
<p>3.43 GPA inter UC transfer.</p>
<p>im cheering for eschatos</p>
<p>3.43 is not compleatly out of the question… (I hope)</p>
<p>BobPatterson, I think you’l make it if you’re already doing pretty well at another UC</p>
<p>Eschatos, dam it i wish i wrote the whole truth about my personal statment but i felt that surviving sexual abuse and living with my abuser was like a highly inapprorpriate topic, but now i feel like a duma**</p>
<p>I think its a highly moving topic though I do feel like it might be something you find uncomfortable talking about…since its very personal.</p>
<p>you think i could appeal with it?</p>
<p>I was unsure whether or not I should include the fact that I had an eating disorder at the beg. of cc, because I thought it might make them uncomfortable. But I did it anyway…</p>
