Nothing good comes easy

The thing I appreciate the most about Berkeley (and I’ve seen this in people that I’ve interviewed from Berkeley as well) is how Berkeley makes sure you don’t just learn about things at a surface level. You’re forced to learn them inside and out, think about the concept in every which way, and if you don’t do that you’re just not going to do very well on tests. You can float along without trying much, and this holds for extracurriculars as well, but if you want to be truly excellent, you need to consistently take the next step for it. That’s something that Berkeley has taught me. Nothing good comes easy.
