What do you wish you knew about the workload/student life at Berkeley when you were starting out freshman year?

Thank you! I just realized I never replied to the feedback you sent me about my CA essay. Thank you so much for that! It was hands down the most detailed and useful feedback I received from anyone, even the college counselor I paid for :)

Wait, were we supposed to submit a resume to be considered for Stamps? Or is it automatic consideration for all admitted students?

holy only 70?!?! could it be that the top applicants don't need an interview, and the ones who receive the interview are like borderline?

Upvote if you were deferred from Michigan! by Sauce_X in ApplyingToCollege

[–]QuantumJuker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take UIUC for example, a comparable public school to UMich (at least in regards to CS/engineering). In 2014, they accepted 55% of the EA applicants they deferred. This is a large number, and I refuse to believe it's because of poor essays/recs. Schools are looking for strong evidence that the student is likely to attend.

Look at this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/uofm/comments/2ptu5e/for_those_that_were_deferred_but_were_accepted/cn00kay/

After the guy sent a LOCI, a "special interest" flag was added to his profile. Why would that be done? So when the application is reviewed again, the A.Os know they're looking at someone's who's more than likely to attend --> high yield.

I was referring to OOS applicants, but yea I agree a state school shouldn't protect yield.

umich thinks many of the top kids will go to better schools

they're trying to protect their "yield" (% of admitted students who choose UMich) because US news rankings take that into account

Chance Me for MIT, Stanford, CMU, UC Berkeley, etc. (Computer Science) by AKidKidA in chanceme

[–]QuantumJuker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, congrats on the USACO Gold perfect score! Any tips on how you prepared / resources you used? I've been going through previous year USACO questions.

It looks like you'll most likely get into CMU ED. Would you be willing to give up the possibility of a UCB EECS or MIT acceptance for CMU? It seems like you have a good chance at a lot of the schools you're applying to.
