On March 27, the results for admission were mailed out and posted online.
The competition for admission to Berkeley is stiff. Some 37,000 students applied to Berkeley for the Fall 2003 term. Of these, only about 8,900 will be admitted.
I remember how three years ago I received a huge packet in the mail from UC Berkeley. At that point, I was feeling very arrognant and thought…well, that was easy.
But attending Berkeley knowing that a lot of people have been rejected sometimes makes me feel way too elite. There was an instance where someone e-mailed me asking what to do to get into here. Is it really all that cut up to be? To be part of a world-reowned university where everybody competes so bloodily? Or to be part of an university known for its liberal outspokeness?
For me and my peers, it\’s more to be part of a prestigious and well known university because it looks good on the resume.
Looks are only skin deep :D
I chose Berkeley to brag :D
i\’d want to go there because hopefully the faculty would be better and it would look good. that\’s it, i don\’t really care about about anything else.
that\’s what a lot of people think. some profs are good, but most are more involved with their research and would prefer not to teach…
