I know this likely won't be an experience that many can relate to (I hope), but man, as a recent grad who has been getting ghosted by companies for the past 9 months, i wish I had gone to any other school than berkeley.
I worked so in hard in high school, and thought that going to berkeley would be my chance to nurture a passion and achieve success. there were so many incredible opportunities here that I fought through a brutal application period every single semester just get rejected. I never got any opportunities I wanted or that let me explore fields I was interested in, even though I applied consistently, talked to people, made a game plan, all of it. I can't help but feel like I wasn't meant to be here, and that everyone around me was always a level above. I did everything I could and now companies won't even glance at my resume. Even if the culture at other schools isn't as intellectual, and the prestige is lower, at least id be given a chance to join clubs or do research that I'm not competing against 500 students for.
I'm likely just a story of extreme unluck, and I by no means intend to discourage new admits. but if you are currently in this school, good luck. the fight isn't over yet.
