Wonderful video! I just graduated (class of 2022) and about to start attending cc. I was kind of in the same boat as you, graduated top of my class with a 4.6gpa and spent years in countless extracurriculars (competitive cheerleading, boxing, sailing…) whilst taking over 10 AP’s. Unfortunately, applying as a computer science major I was rejected from UCLA and UCB which was rough given how much my heart was set on attending them. Especially, being from the Bay Area, specifically Marin, community college was frowned upon from both counselors and teachers. With this said, I am looking forward to experiencing cc and enjoying the extra time I have left at home. Any who 😂 the whole admissions process has pushed me to explore my options and I have landed on a major that reflects my interests, Applied Mathematics!
I am sorry to hear about the rejections, but I am glad to hear you have a growth mindset! I think you’ll have a great experience wherever you go, even if it’s not some big name university - it’s their loss!
Maybe I missed it in your video, but I'm genuinely interested in how social life was for you there (fitting in, finding friends, etc.) Awesome video man you're my inspiration now, coming from a first year CC student looking to transfer to Cal!
Hi Ian, thanks for letting me know. I just posted a video to talk about this: Social life at UC Berkeley - from an engineer ua-cam.com/video/96T4j1nzKNo/v-deo.html I hope it helps and let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
Great story, congrats! I just transferred to Berkeley too :) Love seeing fellow CC students succeed!
Thanks Hannah! Congrats to you too and I wish you the best.

Great story! Thank you so much for sharing your story
This is so genuine..Thank you for the video
as a senior in high school i feel a lot better
thank you
Hi, I also applied as a Chemical Engineer in UCB too but I am still wondering as to how you register for the ACS Organic Chemistry Exam?
Great Video. Thank You.
What does the job market look like for Chemical Engineers in the Berkeley area?
Also: can you go into doing research at Berkeley without going there?
im trying to transfer from a CSU wish me luck its almost impossible
