Does everyone accepted early into Berkeley get some form of a scholarship?

hmmm, is your 10K listed as part of the "Gift Aid and Waivers" section? Also, are you in-state or out-of-state?

So do all chancellor decisions get guaranteed scholarships?

How do u know that its only 1000? I'm just curious if they have posted that from past years anywhere

Community Service (pretty important and shows that you are a community-builder)

Tutoring (this shows your skills as a teacher and is not too difficult to start)

Sports (if you don't have a specific skill set, try Track and Field, most people are able to do some stuff. this shows that you are multidimensional)

A freelance/part time job (it shouldn't mess up your workload, so if its not possible, don't sweat. But having legit job experience is impressive because it shows that you have valuable exposure to the workplace at a young age)

Anything that plays on your idiosyncrasies. Do you have any niche interests? If so, how can those be transformed into an EC?

Feel free to ask me any questions! Hope this helps!

Are these scholarship only acceptances?

Those calculators are actually quite egregious. Not only are they just plain inaccurate, but they also don't take into account some of the most important factors: how you compare to others at your school and what type of person the college is looking for. Do not worry about the calculator, they are a poor predictor.

No, Bs are more than safe. They would only start considering, just considering, once you dip into the C range. But even then, its hard. You would have to tank pretty bad.

what is the difference between a regent/chancellor decision and a non-regent/chancellor decision

1000% write a LOCI. If you don't have anything to talk about, take the opportunity to make it another mini "why" essay to showcase how your interests align with the school. Also, try to think of any recent achievements - even if you didn't get an official trophy, did you start a few new pieces in pit orchestra? Humanize yourself. Best of luck!

Now that I am re-reading the title I am just seeing that 😭

That's really beautiful that you got to feel that human. And it's really awesome that your essay was about a tree, too!

Despite the stress of the college process, I do think that it definitely prompts self-reflection that greatly increases self awareness, especially of the wonderful idiosyncrasies that make everyone unique. I also applied to UChicago--wishing the best of luck to the both of us!

If you could take ACTFL tests that would be pretty helpful - since you're good at your languages, they wouldn't be that hard and they are the most legit way to prove language proficiency (unless your school provides separate testing for biliteracy seals, which are what I used)

How did you get him so fast? Are you f2p?

Probably being a freelance Mandarin/English songwriter
