admissions

On April 23, UC Berkeley will be hosting an in-person Cal Day for the first time in two years. The day packed with in-person events will be held for newly admitted students and their families, giving them the opportunity to get to know their new campus.

Several ASUC officials published a formal letter Oct. 8 calling for the resignation of Regent Richard Blum from the UC Board of Regents.

Under new admissions leadership, UC Berkeley admitted its most ethnically diverse freshman class in more than 30 years.

Instead of the traditional standardized test, students will be given five random questions from the television game show "Jeopardy!" to test their college readiness.

For a country founded on the principle that all men are created equal, doing away with the great testing equalizer is a step in the wrong direction.

While these exams do not intentionally skew against students from these communities, it’s not too far of a stretch to say that standardized tests benefit the better off.

When I finally get to hold a diploma in my hand, I will think back to the day that I almost denied myself a chance to graduate from UC Berkeley because of my curves. My body is an empowering part of me, which I embrace with confidence, but it will never define my success!

Never fear, because we at the Clog are here to give you the lowdown on everything to expect at this year's Cal Day festivities.
