Ilana
Someone who is not only intelligent and friendly, but also a citizen of the world, and has multi-faceted interests. The person should be very hard-working and diligent to attend this school because of the rigour of the education. There is also so much diversity and culture on campus; it is really a very vibrant and colorful place so one must be genuinely interested in this in order to benefit from it. Going to Berkeley really opens up one's horizons and prepares one academically and socially for the "real world".
Ryan
A person with a strong acedemic drive into research should attend this school. There are countless opportunites for students to get involved in labs and research, not just in the sciences but in the arts as well. One can be studying to go to Med School however decide to go into theater and they would find a place for that at this school.
Jessica
Someone who is driven, engaged, and eager to learn. You have to be ready to work hard - and play hard - if you want to succeed at UC Berkeley.
Priscilla
One that can accept challenges and is dedicated to the art of learning.
Joseph
When it comes to studying, anyone who enjoys a challenge should come to Berkeley. The adrenaline rush received while taking a difficult exam and the feeling of accomplishment after finishing the exam are unparalleled. On the recreational side, anyone with a passion for anything should come to Berkeley. There isn’t a single activity too strange or difficult for one to find a supporting circle of peers who enjoy the same things.
Narges
A student who is extremely academically and mentally driven. Especially the first semester at Berkeley, it can be pretty hard to adjust to an atmosphere of intelligence. Everyone you run into is in some way extraordinary. But the important thing to remember is that you're also one of the people others run into and see as extraordinary. While sometimes it can be frighteningly easy to get down on yourself, it's important for every student who attends Berkeley to remember that it's really not a competition. The only competition is yourself.
Spencer
A student that can be independent. You will be a number here.
Abigail
Anyone self-motivated and driven by a relentless intellectual curiosity will thrive at Cal. There are opportunities abound. Whether you want to get involved in the community or participate in cutting edge research, if you're looking hard enough you will find something special. That said, Berkeley's enviroment best serves those with open minds, the most important lessons I have gained from my experience here have been those that have redefined my way of thinking about the world.
