Hey fellow =SA='s and friends!

I was admitted to UC Berkeley's College of Engineering last Thursday and I'm super hyped! Many of you know how much work I've put in the last few years (and subsequent absences from AC) and it's so rewarding to know it's paid off : )

Thursday was filled with many Ivy League rejections and one waitlist - so I was pretty dejected until I saw my Berkeley status ^^

I'm passionate about environmental sustainability, and will study Environmental Engineering under CEE at Cal next year - though also considering Energy Engineering Science, for renewable energy.

So yeah, I'll still hop in on AC casually, but from California starting fall.

Go Cal Bears, go =SA= cheers

Nice. I'll be applying in about a year. Not to anything in California, though.

Congratulations RCJD bro!

Well well well, many congratulations to you Smile

As somebody who went through the same ordeal as you, I can attest to how happy you must feel, and you most certainly deserve all the credit for getting this far.

I have one or two friends at Berkeley with whom I can put you in touch, if you want opinions about the school or stuff like that.

One word of advice though: brace yourself for the "Accepted 2018" Facebook group XD
College kids get a little too excited after getting in lol.

Also, may I ask where you were waitlisted?

But yea, I just so happened to see this post while visiting the site after a while, so hit me up via PM here or on AC forums if you want to talk or any advice, I'll be glad to help. Smile

Gratz again, well deserved!

@Faron + PKKiller ==> msg me if you ever want tips during the application process!

@ShadowZ ==> Thanks! I was waitlisted for Penn engineering. YES OMG the Accepted FB group is hilarious, haha! I appreciate your tips and offer for advice - be happy to chat on IRC sometime (on the rare occasions I venture there) Smile

Congratulations bro Smile
