hi, i just got off the waitlist at berkeley but it's a spring admission, so i'd miss out on the first semester
kinda worried i'm gonna miss out on college stuff if I start late
there's some programs for taking classes at Berkeley or studying abroad but idk if i'm gonna do those
background: math/business major, currently committed to uiuc, planning on trying to do HAAS at berkeley if i go
You would be crazy to choose UIUC (a shithole) over Berkeley (an elite university).
yes it's worth it, fuck UIUC
>there's some programs for taking classes at Berkeley or studying abroad but idk if i'm gonna do those
don't do FPF it's a shitfest
Take classes at a community college for the fall semester that transfer over to Berkeley credit.
everyone at berkeley talks about how much they hate it. but the area and job prospects are much better than ui. also bay area california vs nowhere illinois. should be an easy decision
also it might matter if youre a freshman, but missing fall isn't a big deal. if you will be a freshman, idk what to tell you cuz you prolly wanna be there in fall
Im graduating from Berkeley in a few days.
Jump at the opportunity to go there.
The doors it opens are insane. Its one of the best universities on the planet. Fuck any social considerations. Your 30 year old self will thank you for it.
Try to ignore the sjw's, though. God speed.
