March 18 2009
Amazing school, renowned polysci/business/humanities programs, good financial aid, not too far from home... & I think I would fit in really well. Go Golden Bears! Go Cal hippies! (:
March 14 2010
pretty much my safety/range, ELC (eligibility in local context) and our school's local status all but guarantees Berkeley.
Might consider applying for college of engineering, but if i do, that'll change everything. College of engineering would change Berkeley into a reach
March 6 2010
My GPA will kill me lol
February 16 2010
Grandma and Grandpa say that UC Berkeley is a dumb hippie liberal school. HA HA HA!!!
June 17 2009
Close to home, I don't know if my family would forgive me if I attended though.

Fourth Choice.
February 22 2010

My family doesn't want me to go here. Whatever, they have good engineering programs. On a completely different note, it felt like a game of lion-and-zebra trying to figure out how to pay the application fee. I was the lion. And normally, I don't even eat money. Wait, what? But other than that, the UC application was simple. No transcript, letters of rec, SSR, anything. Just an internet connection and a credit card. And a much bigger credit card if I get accepted. I just received an email requesting that I fill out the Supplemental Freshman Questionnaire... Now I'm nervous...
