UC Berkeley for admission?
What are the chances of my child? What should be covered in the personal statement? Help please! SAT I = 1940 (retake in October-07) = 710 Sat II Math II, 780 French GPA = 3.8, improved grades, the first time honor roll junior second week school year, SF = full IB diploma program, taking HL Maths, Chemistry, Physics, French Athletics = lyrics + on soccer coach award; track (most improved), cross-country = Community of three years a week and summer to build homes in Tijuana, without power tools; six weeks of tutoring at the University of Berkeley Association Pre-Engineering Students at the Center for Underrepresented Engineering = Several months spent in France (Staff and study tours) and the recent school trip to India certified diver, national karate champion (four gold and two bronze medals at UCA 9 years old); adult second Bay Area Intermediate Dictation Competition, College Major = possibly math, chemistry, physics (but probably not engineering). Perhaps the Air Force ROTC in order to become a pilot.
I'm a freshman at Berkeley and now I went through this whole process last year as well. When it comes to academic activities, and it seems prosperous. For my application, the personal statement was divided into three parts: what you carry Cal, his motivation, and a free response. Find out which of his activities that most interest and write about it. If you decide to write about the construction housing, he can talk about everything he has learned both socially and personally. Another idea is to write about an event that changed his perception or understanding led did not have before. He has plenty to write about. I think it's appropriate for him to really show who is truly interested in what he does. Showing growth and the ability to accept change and weighs much more than having a skill, never plan on using again. (Another point, your skills and what they plan to do with them) wish your son the best of luck!
