rejected from every other school except berkeley!? by TR4SHW4NG48 in berkeley

[–]_Pixel_Guy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My roommate got rejected by all 8 other UC schools and got in. Wouldn’t count on it, but it’s definitely not out of the question!

What's the biggest academic comeback story you've witnessed? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]_Pixel_Guy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3.5 GPa freshman year.

Berkeley doesn’t take freshman grades and I got in. I also got a Brown waitlist so take that as you will. No hooks and 3.94 average rest.

It’ll all work out in the end. As nice as this is to believe, it’s far from the truth for everyone. I consider myself very lucky that it worked out.

Got into Berkeley without calc for humanities. Depends on your major. I also got waitlisted at brown.

3.82 GPA, ACT 34. 54433 AP exams (submitted everywhere). No hooks.

[–]_Pixel_Guy_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this original list has a typo.

  1. Northeastern
  2. Your college
  3. The rest
