[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] Berkeley does not consider race and the engineering program is not meant to be balanced for male/female either. There are many girls who have much stronger stats with Physics C and multi variable calculus who get rejected so while your dd is strong, her rejection is not that surprising. She probably got into the top school because of race and gender balancing. [/quote]
