Rejected from Berkeley

Well, strike two in my applications. This one I am somewhat upset over. Mostly because I know I didn't take the UC application seriously enough and probably could have been accepted at Berkeley if I had been as persistent with them as I was with Columbia. Berkeley really would have been the best school for me to go to considering its close proximity to San Francisco and its national rank. These next two years are going to be so important not only academically but also professionally that I worry if living in Davis, CA is really the best place for me to be.



I am toying with the idea of writing an appeal letter to Berkeley in hopes that my most recent grades will be reviewed and as a way to reveal more about my background. Though, the process can take six weeks and we were hoping to have moved by then. I don't really know right now, I'm just a little bummed out. Everyone I speak to says that your undergraduate school is not that important but I am really more concerned about being out in the middle of no where with no ability to network and build professional relationships that will be paramount to acceptance at business school.
