Berkeley c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 cycle) Forum

[elblufer]

OK I've done a bit of research, and for those who submitted early and haven't heard back yet, there is hope...after sifting through last year's forum it seems like there is a strong correlation between those who have interesting softs/self-proclaimed strong PS and those who go under faculty review, even with applications submitted on day one. I've got some unique int'l + WE and HOPING I don't get dinged on the one-year anniversary of the 1.09 reject massacre.

GL to all. (and congrats on scholly that's hella* dope)

*practising this so-called NorCal slang

I'm from So Cal. If I'm ever caught using "hella" in a serious manner, I want someone to strangle me.

Haha good for you!

Don't forget - it's SF, not San Fran, not Frisco. Never say Frisco.

Or just "the city," which is what I always go with because of this:

Literally just listened to that Eddie Izzard show on Spotify.

Must be a sign. Call coming today, I can feel it.

Absolutely agree on this one. Possibly the biggest mark against Stanf/Berkeley IMO is "hella"

I'm in New England and there are a fair number of people here who say "hella". They're not even from California. I assume they picked it up from a friend, much like a disease.

Yes, we're a big fan of that word. But wicked > hella. At least in my opinion.

I believe the correct New England response to this is: [expletive] [expletive] [maternal expletive] [expletive].

[teiswei]

I'd wear it proudly...

I would not. one of the worst logo redesigns I've ever seen. Seriously, you don't do graphics in house, you go to someone who does logo design for a living.

That being said, I'd gladly wear the old logo.

You are [expletive] correct, good sir, although that is perhaps more "Mid-Atlantic"-y

And I hear "hella" much more than "wicked". I wish I heard more "wicked" in my life.

Hey, if I got into B, I'd wear whatever they told me to wear. I'd go to class in skirts if that's what it took to get me in.

there's this new word catching on called "ratchet" which describes a crazy drunk party, or something that is just generally disorderly. i personally think its hella dumb but that's just me.

also know that yes is often replaced with yee. swag is also a popular word, as it is all over the country now.

No.

Oh god, Frisco is the worst. And the train you take to SF (or "the city") is BART, not "The BART".

lol. Being from the bay, this is the easiest way for me to tell someone is not from around here. "The Bart" lol

Lol that's not what ratchet means and it's not that new of a term (at least in the "Black" community."

So was anyone admitted today? If not, would that make it two days in a row?

Only 5 so far (according to LSN) for what's supposed to be the highest acceptance week if we're relying on last cycle's data. Hopefully, there'll be a lot more tomorrow and Friday. GL
