ohh yea, i'm not gonna apply to ucb whatsoever...i have several reasons for that...
1) i'm not smart enough to get accepted 2)even if i get accepted (which would be like 0.00000000000001 chance) i'd get killed by all the pressure and stuff at ucb, because there are just too many smart people..lol 3)TOO close to home and i don't think i like that city.. 4) not much diversity, i guess i'd want at least 50/50. 5) too competitive 6) everyone thinks ucb is the best...which i think NOT even though i know it's a good school... 7) i wanna go to other places other than the bay area to experience...like not too far and not too close (davis would be the best choice, but now i heard of cal poly and it's less expensive and it's practical rather than theoretical, it should be good too) 8)umm...i can't think of anything else...lol but yea, i think that's enough for my reason not apply to ucb...lol
