Where can I find Berkeley admission requirements?

Hey guys, struggling to get some clarity here. Is there a place where I can get a comprehensive list of the UC Berkeley admission requirements? I'm currently a junior and I'd like to start planning for the application process. Thanks in advance!

You can find the University of California, Berkeley admission requirements from their official website. For the sake of convenience, I will list some of them below. However, it's always good to keep an eye on their website for updated information.

For the 2024-2025 application cycle, UC Berkeley, like all UC schools, is test-blind, which means it does not consider SAT or ACT scores at all.

Here are the A-G course requirements which you should meet in order to be eligible for admissions at UC Berkeley:

1. History/Social Science: 2 years

2. English: 4 years

3. Mathematics: 3 years (4 years recommended)

4. Laboratory Science: 2 years (3 years recommended)

5. Language Other than English: 2 years (3 years recommended)

6. Visual and Performing Arts: 1 year

7. College Preparatory Elective: 1 year

Beyond fulfilling the above courses, UC Berkeley, like many colleges, seeks students who are academically strong, represent a diverse range of experiences, perspectives, and ideas, and display potential for growth and leadership.

Remember that UC Berkeley is also looking for students who have a high level of engagement outside of academics, so ensure to be involved and excel in your extracurricular activities. Quality here matters more than quantity. Achievements on the national or international level (Tier 1 extracurriculars) are particularly impressive.

Personal Insight Questions are also required where you’ll write about your experiences, interests, and aspirations. Avoiding cliche topics and reflecting deeply on your experiences is key to nailing these essays.

Hope this helps! All the best in your application process!
