Get the highest standardizedNov 28 2020Computer Engineering
Get the highest standardized test scores possible and try to write something about some colorful hobby. No need to be crazy insightful, I don?t think they read that much into it because of the high volume and they are probably not super expert merit discerners anyway.

You know what you've doneOct 31 2016Accounting
You know what you've done. I wonder what percentage of criminal activity is created by the caucasians that attend there? The problem is the ones with the microphones. A nation divided will fall.

I actMar 14 2016Mechanical Engineering
I acted as a leader within my community, earning my Eagle Scout award, founding a Science and Engineering club at my high school, involving myself with the school Marching Band, Drama club, Math Team, and Academic Decathlon club. I kept myself busy and maintained a perfect GPA, while pursuing extracurricular learning and my passions at home. If I could recommend one strategy: do what you love. Don't worry about what your resume will look like. If you find yourself, and pursue your passions, you will shine in the application process.
SAT: 2150 Male
Play sports, volunteer, work, get amazing entrance examSep 30 2015Other
Play sports, volunteer, work, get amazing entrance exam scores. Be exceptional. Prepare yourself to learn as much and as fast as you possibly can. Do that and even Berkeley will be a piece of cake.
