加州大学伯克利分校申请要求+录取案例（建议收藏）！
一、加州大学伯克利分校的申请：
大学使用整体评审流程对学生进行评审，这意味着招生官不仅要看学术因素，还要看非学术因素，为帮助申请者更好的理解大学的指标，大学设立了以下申请标准：
申请人的学术成绩，包括所选课程的数量和严谨程度以及在这些课程中获得的成绩；
申请人的个人素质，包括领导能力、性格、动力、洞察力、坚韧不拔、主动性、独创性、智力独立、责任心、成熟度，以及对他人和社会的关心等都会被考虑在内；
申请人是否会对校园的智力和文化活力做出贡献；
申请人的背景和经历是否具有多样性；
申请人在标准化考试、SAT推理考试或ACT评估加写作考试中的表现；
申请人可能参加过的任何预科或IBHL考试都将被考虑； 此外，申请人在学术充实项目上的成就，包括但不限于加州大学赞助的项目，对于项目的测评将通过申请人参与的时间和深度、在参与期间取得的学术进步以及特定课程的智力严谨性来衡量；
其他成就，囊括了在任何智力或创造性努力领域取得的模范、持续的成就；在表演艺术或体育等课外活动中的成就；在学校或社区组织中的领导能力；就业；以及志愿服务等等。
⚠️：为保证公正公平，申请时种族、民族、性别和宗教被排除在标准之外，申请人的所有成就，无论是学术的还是非学术的，都可以提供给学校进行参考。对于遇到任何困难或特殊情况的申请者，院校会考察申请者回应和/或克服这些困难的成熟、决心和洞察力，并适时给予帮助，也会考虑直接影响申请人成绩的其他背景因素，包括语言背景、父母教育水平和家庭中提供的其他支持指标等等。
申请条件：
1）学术成绩要求：
对于加州大学体系内的申请者GPA需要达到3.0/4以上的水准，而对于非加州大学体系内的申请者其GPA则需要达到3.4/4以上的水准。大学也提供了学术成绩的计算方式，帮助申请者们参考：https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/gpa-requirement.html
但根据伯克利分校提供的去年申请情况，可以看到录取GPA基本在85%左右。在网申时，除了需要提供学术成绩单，毕业证外，申请者还需对个人情况进行简单填写，学术历史也将作为很重要的考察部分。
其中本科申请需要提供AP/A-Level/IB成绩进行申请。

3） 推荐信：
大多本科申请者不需要为UC申请提交推荐信，一些校区/专业可能需要推荐信作为补充申请审查的一部分，请务必检查是否需要提供推荐信；
硕士需要提高至少3封推荐信，推荐人被要求对申请者的智力、在研究或专业技能方面的能力、性格、以前工作的质量以及未来学术成果的潜力给出他们的个人印象进行评价。
申请人可以自愿放弃查阅推荐信的权利，若要放弃查阅您的信件，请填写推荐信的弃权部分。研究生部可以与学校或推荐人核实学术推荐信的真实性。
4）文书说明PS：
与其他院校申请不同的是加州大学体系将文书内容进行了申请分类处理，涵盖了活动与奖项，奖学金与项目，个人洞察力中的8个问题的回应（只需回答4个）
8个问题内容如下：
领导力考察：
Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.
Things to consider: A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task, or taking the lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about what you accomplished and what you learned from the experience. What were your responsibilities? Did you lead a team? How did your experience change your perspective on leading others? Did you help to resolve an important dispute at your school, church, in your community or an organization? And your leadership role doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to school activities. For example, do you help out or take care of your family?
创新能力考察：
Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.
Things to consider: What does creativity mean to you? Do you have a creative skill that is important to you? What have you been able to do with that skill? If you used creativity to solve a problem, what was your solution? What are the steps you took to solve the problem?
How does your creativity influence your decisions inside or outside the classroom? Does your creativity relate to your major or a future career?
才华，天赋考察：
What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?
Things to consider: If there’s a talent or skill that you’re proud of, this is the time to share it. You don’t necessarily have to be recognized or have received awards for your talent (although if you did and you want to talk about it, feel free to do so). Why is this talent or skill meaningful to you?
Does the talent come naturally or have you worked hard to develop this skill or talent? Does your talent or skill allow you opportunities in or outside the classroom? If so, what are they and how do they fit into your schedule?
困难克服考察：
Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.
Things to consider: An educational opportunity can be anything that has added value to your educational experience and better prepared you for college. For example, participation in an honors or academic enrichment program, or enrollment in an academy that’s geared toward an occupation or a major, or taking advanced courses that interest you — just to name a few.
If you choose to write about educational barriers you’ve faced, how did you overcome or strive to overcome them? What personal characteristics or skills did you call on to overcome this challenge? How did overcoming this barrier help shape who are you today?
面对挑战考察：
Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?
Things to consider: A challenge could be personal, or something you have faced in your community or school. Why was the challenge significant to you? This is a good opportunity to talk about any obstacles you’ve faced and what you’ve learned from the experience. Did you have support from someone else or did you handle it alone?
If you’re currently working your way through a challenge, what are you doing now, and does that affect different aspects of your life? For example, ask yourself, “How has my life changed at home, at my school, with my friends or with my family?”
如何激发学术兴趣：
Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.
Things to consider: Many students have a passion for one specific academic subject area, something that they just can’t get enough of. If that applies to you, what have you done to further that interest? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had inside and outside the classroom — such as volunteer work, internships, employment, summer programs, participation in student organizations and/or clubs — and what you have gained from your involvement.
Has your interest in the subject influenced you in choosing a major and/or future career? Have you been able to pursue coursework at a higher level in this subject (honors, AP, IB, college or university work)? Are you inspired to pursue this subject further at UC, and how might you do that?
公益心考察：
What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?
Things to consider: Think of community as a term that can encompass a group, team or a place — like your high school, hometown or home. You can define community as you see fit, just make sure you talk about your role in that community. Was there a problem that you wanted to fix in your community?
Why were you inspired to act? What did you learn from your effort? How did your actions benefit others, the wider community or both? Did you work alone or with others to initiate change in your community?
为什么加州大学应该录取申请者？脱颖而出的点在哪里：
Beyond what has already been shared in your application, what do you believe makes you stand out as a strong candidate for admissions to the University of California?
Things to consider: If there’s anything you want us to know about you, but didn’t find a question or place in the application to tell us, now’s your chance. What have you not shared with us that will highlight a skill, talent, challenge or opportunity that you think will help us know you better?
From your point of view, what do you feel makes you an excellent choice for UC? Don’t be afraid to brag a little.
5）资产证明
6）部分专业需要进行面试
7）部分专业需要提供作品集或命题essay的撰写
8）博士申请者还需提供对自己研究的陈述。
二、申请案例
背景：北京科技大学 自动化
GPA：3.83/4.0
TOEFL：113
GRE：325
录取：加州大学伯克利分校 工业工程与运筹学
想必大家也都大概了解申请美国graduate school所需要的材料吧，包括GRE、托福、自我陈述材料、推荐信、GPA。
申请硕士GPA很重要，尤其是现在竞争越来越激烈了，GPA 3.7以上的都一抓一大把，所以踏踏实实把成绩弄好，其次再去丰富自己的简历，让PS有东西可写，特别是成绩已经无法提升的情况下，也算是对劣势的一种弥补。
标化成绩（GT）尽量早点考，GMAT/GRE有效期五年，建议先考G。这些考试我觉得还挺看基础的，每个人需要的时间肯定差很多，因此尽量早点去准备，比如大二就开始，就不至于到申请季的时候还要手忙脚乱地区刷分。
该同学的GPA以及标化成绩都是非常不错的，所以重心放在PS的写作上，为同学写文书的导师同样是自动化专业，并且拿到过杜克、加州大学伯克利分校、佐治亚理工、宾大、康奈尔等offer的学姐，所以整个的文书也是写的特别出彩，帮助同学顺利拿到了心仪的offer。
