[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My URM girl applied to Berkeley Engineering and was rejected despite 4.0 gpa and high rigor (AP Physics I and 2), AP Calc BC... She got 34 on ACT but couldn't submit the score since they are test blind. She did get into her top choice so it didn't matter anyway...[/quote] FYI--Physics 1&2 is not high rigor---PHysics C (Mech and E&M) is high rigor. But yes, since Berkeley eng has low admission rates, plenty of people with "high stats" get rejected--it has nothing to do with race, but simply the fact there are more people applying than spaces and majority will get rejected[/quote] Meant to say she took AP Physics C (Mech)... As for why she got rejected, the same can be said about any school. Far too many people apply than spaces. I wanted to point this out because people just assume URM girls like her would get admitted to engineering schools. Obviously this is anecdotal but has been our lived experience. [/quote]
