Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at UC Berkeley on May 17, 1967, in the midst of the Vietnam War. 18 years after the speech, the ASUC Student Union was renamed in his honor after petitions by Ronnie Stevenson, an early Black Panther Party member and Berkeley alum.

We see a lot of applicants write about taking care of siblings or working a part-time job in their PIQs, but not putting that in the extracurricular activities section. You SHOULD also put this info in the extracurricular activities section! It adds value and context.
Hey students! We know today can be a day full of joy *and* nerves. We want to express just how in awe we were of every application this year. Regardless of the outcome, we believe you are all exceptionally talented and capable individuals who will make a difference in the world.

We are recommitting to offering a test-free environment, and Berkeley will be test-free for the Fall 2022 admissions cycle. Current juniors considering applying to Berkeley should be aware that we will not require or use SAT/ACT exam scores in any part of our admissions process.
A $30 million grant from an anonymous alum, combined with raising more than $74 million in gifts, will enable the UC Berkeley College of Engineering to transform its engineering student center into a vibrant hub of learning and discovery. 💫
