[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to convince DD not to spend time and energy on the UC Berkeley application. She's a fantastic kid with a 4.3, strong leadership, paid job, community service, etc. But there is no way she's going to stand out and get into Berkeley. But her counselor keeps telling her "you never know". The application is separate from common app and there are 4 supplementals. Just feels like a waste of time. Sorry - no real question, just venting. [/quote] Berkeley's OOS acceptance rate is about 3-4% for the past several years.[/quote] All you can tell her is this^, and leave it at that. My DC with a 4.92 wgpa, 4.0 unwgpa from a magnet program was rejected at UCLA and Cal. TBF, DC's major is CS, which is probably the most competitive major.[/quote] My DC with 4.61 wgpa, 4.0 unwgpa from TJ was accepted at Cal with EE/CS.[/quote] goes to show how much of a lottery it is[/quote]
