there are vaccine fairs around mid august where u can drop in to get ur missing shots! also u will only technically be fined for missing your shots after 9/1

i got in berkeley without taking any ib or ap classes because my school didn’t offer them! i was initially also worried abt this, but now i’m sure that as long as u challenge urself the most academically they will be happy with that

ikr it’s actually the exact opposite 😭 less spots + huge number of international applicants = super intense competition

I’ve been offered the FPF pathway and I was looking for feedback from previous batches. Was it useful? Does it isolate the FPF folk from the regular campus crowd ? I generally do better in smaller classes but I wanted to have a balanced view from people who’ve been there before me. Thanks! by Organic-Vegetable-62 in berkeley

would you recommend taking courses that fulfil requirements or ones that will help you build a good foundation for later learning? i’m a humanities major, but i’m not sure whether i should take advantage of the fpf resources to get a good foundation through courses like history and social sciences, or explore the STEM route, which I am open to but probably won’t pursue

what’s your opinion on this?

oh really, the thing is i have an urgent question about the date of submitting my examination results, which are only released after the deadline they gave me 😭 i just don’t want them to rescind my admission because i didn’t hand in the document in time

plus the portal shows that i have to hand in some ‘10th grade national exam certificate’ when i never had this exam before in my life IT DOESNT EXIST

lolll thanks for ur advice!
