University of California - Berkeley COMMENTS

Berkeley is designed for the strong-willed and resilient. Not only are the classes extremely challenging, but students are expected to completely fend for themselves and be self-motivated. Receiving recognition as one of the top research institutions in the nation has its advantages, but at the same time professors are less likely to support individual student needs. School spirit is very prevalent and there are hundreds of organizations to make any student happy, however if students don't plug themselves in they will experience a real social disconnect.
The Prudent Student (October 7, 2009)
Looks like Cali will remain the hot spot to go school these days as record numbers of applicants attempt to enter the UC system. With beautiful beaches, warm weather, and legalized marijuana, what else could a college kid ask for? UCLA continued to be the most popular UC campus, with 55,610 young people seeking a spot in the freshman class. UC Berkeley was next, with 48,616 freshman applicants, and UC San Diego was third with 47,032. Next were UC Santa Barbara's 44,673; UC Irvine, 44,072; UC Davis, 42,344; UC Santa Cruz, 27,231; UC Riverside, 22,682; and UC Merced, 9,034. On average, prospective freshmen applied to 3.5 UC campuses each. Funny thing is, administrative bodies have actually been trying to slash enrollment, certainly unwelcome news to the mass of prospective students vieing for spots. The release of application statistics followed a recent decision by the UC Board of Regents to reduce enrollment of California freshmen for the fall by 2,300, or about 6%, because of expected cuts in state funding. The regents, however, increased the number of transfer student slots by 500, or about 4%. The Coveted Laguna Beach Can't say any of this suprises me. I would urge anyone who hasn't visited the West Coast to do so in the near future, especially before making a big college decision.
The Prudent Student (October 7, 2009)
The UC Board of Regents approved a change to the University's admission policy that will affect current high school students graduating in 2012 and beyond. The new policy requires the same number of "a-g" courses and the same GPA as current policy. The two key differences are: 1. These changes will not change the way students prepare for the University: students still need to complete the"a-g" requirements, earn the best grades possible, and take the ACT Assessment with Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test. They will also need content knowledge in case they choose to take an SAT Subject Test to demonstrate specific subject-matter proficiency. 2. Students who graduate from high school prior to 2012 will be held to existing admissions requirements. Moreover, this means that these students will be required to submit scores from two SAT Subject Tests in order to be eligible for admission (which is the policy now). You can find out more information about the policy here.
