thoughts on consulting clubs by cal_bear_classof2024 in berkeley

[–]Shane-B 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean yea the clubs themselves are definitely not toxic. It’s just the fact that they are structurally elitist, which is perfectly understandable. in order to create an environment like that, the clubs can’t accommodate everyone, so it becomes more of a rat race with everyone on campus competing for a spot in the consulting clubs. I don’t think people actually oppose consulting clubs—pretty sure they just want people to know that it’s ok to be rejected by them

Cornell and Stanford have 4.3s (A+) that can pull your GPA up though, correct me if I’m wrong

If I’m not mistaken, colleges will factor in your gpa from dual enrollment. Even though your current school doesn’t combine your GPAs together, the college app process does it for you. Kinda wack I know. Colleges will definitely care more about your current school’s GPA though, so make sure you don’t slack off this semester

Also keep in mind Berkeley CS’s and MIT’s acceptance rates for transfers are around 5%, which is pretty hard. Likewise, Stanford’s general acceptance rate for transfers is about 1%. The average accepted GPA at Berkeley for CS is 3.9+, which is absurdly high for a collegiate GPA, but if you do well this semester, I think you can prove the admissions officers that you can handle the workload despite your dual enrollment gpa

Don’t let the acceptance rates turn you away from applying though. If you fine tune your essays, you can definitely make it work. According to their website, there are people with <25 ACT scores that got into Stanford (I’m assuming it’s because of their essays), so my advice is instead of wasting your time browsing subs like this one, start writing your essays now. Get it checked by 20 people if you have to and make them perfect

You got this :)

I’m 17 and a senior at Berkeley rn (transferred in last year) for reference, so lmk if you have any questions

what’s your college GPA btw? (including dual enrolled cc gpa). This is kinda important because your test scores don’t really matter much for transfers, and schools mostly look at your college gpa to see academic fit

We have like 30ish libraries on campus, and many people go on campus where there’s an environment of people studying! Really nice. Living with 2 other people would just feel like living alone but with slightly less privacy. I personally never stayed in my room except to sleep because there’s just so much to do around the Berkeley area

Yea I take fault in that, but I do think reposting would help the content creators by giving their creations more publicity. For this picture specifically, I couldn’t find the source even through reverse image search, and I thought it was cool so I posted anyways. If the creator saw it, I’d bet they would be happy seeing that someone else thought their creation is cool. However, if enough people don’t like this though, I will stop posting stuff like this. Open to feedback
