How I got into the M.E.T Program at UC Berkeley: My Scores, Essays, and Resume | mereheartsyou

[@MeredithMao]

Hello everyone! 3.5 years later, I'm on my last semester at UC Berkeley so I thought I would give you an honest review of M.E.T. After going through the program, here is my review of the pros and cons of the program! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4i2ZYOcnLCBgLc

[@shloksingh887]

Thank you so much

[@hollyandersen9476]

This is absolutely awesome and very insightful. I am applying this year as EECS + Buisness as well and found your essay extremely helpful.

[@lovelettervintage]

You are so inspiring. Thank you for reminding me how much determination is needed to succeed. Congratulations for all your accomplishments!

[@aribahhoque5844]

your mindset is truly inspirational. i don't know you but i'm so proud of you

[@diedie2260]

These videos make me want to push myself. I was never the best student in middle school but i want to try sooo hard now to get into Berkeley its my dream college

[@emperorqianlong6579]

Maya Gabriela same. 3.0 gpa in middle school, I have a 3.9 now and I’ve taken multiple AP classes along with a multitude of business oriented ECs

[@Deandrax]

Wow...I am truly the definition of ain't shit. I am now a senior and wish I could have redone my whole high school experience. This is so inspiring yet I'm so depressed but Congrats you honestly beyond deserve all the opportunities you have been blessed with, and you are the most perfect person I have ever run across on KZbin.

[@aayushdave292]

That is not true. You are special in your own way. You are successful in your own way. You are you in your own way. Don't let anyone else's meaning of success affect your self-esteem. Everyone has their own path and one is not better than the other. Take care and know that you are VALUABLE. Much love!

[@sravyabasvapatri1604]

Just got into M.E.T.!! Thank you for sharing this video & tips, it was so helpful!

[@angiebrown988]

Hey, Meredith. You are such an inspiration to me (to focus on my future in such a chaotic environment in my high school), thank you for the video. Never ever stop what you are doing! 👍🏾

[@brandonc6118]

Wow your dedication to research is crazy! If only I could work for my dads company in high school too!

[@sohamdeshmukh2417]

Great video! you perfectly conveyed the information about getting into good colleges and the sacrifice and determination it takes. Cheers to you!

[@nurgultokzhanova6266]

Thanks for the video! The most precise and useful video ever !!

[@malaikakirby242]

Thank so much! I can’t wait to meet you in UC Berkeley!

[@romano8771]

Great message. Too many kids want immediate gratification. I’m kickstarting my daughter’s research into what she needs to do for the next 4 years (she’s just starting HS) and using your video as the primer. Great job. Best wishes for much success.

[@iMusical4]

Coming back to this video after being admitted into M.E.T '22! Thanks a lot for the advice, helped a lot :)

[@MeredithMao]

So proud of you, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! And thank you I'm so glad it helped you!!

[@suburban8614]

Do u know my boy sean lin

[@TamNguyen-oz4wv]

Excellent job Meredith.

[@diedie2260]

You’re essays really inspired me and showed me what i have to live up to if i want to get into UC Berkeley

[@sophiaharper742]

You sound exactly like my mom, who also went to Berkeley, but it's good advice. Congratulations! I'm sure you are doing well!

[@thesidsridhar]

So glad the KZbin algorithm recommended this legendary classic

[@stashpomichter4295]

Hey I just got my MET acceptance the other day! Are you liking it?

[@alinaluk3955]

Gosh you are so passionate. You are incredible!

[@lampham2954]

Thank you, the video was so informative and full of energy. You inspired me to do more in my last year at community college lol

[@alishachowhan6283]

lmao I thought I could get into this program but omg she is so talented and has so much I am currently a junior in high school and I don't think I even did half of what she did :((

[@tengisdashmunkh3734]

She is very, very, very dedicated. I wonder if all the Berkeley engineering students are like this.

[@srcs6553]

Congratulations!!!! The video was super helpful! Please don't scream maybe in the next video. : )

[@maddiekruger5505]

how are you so perfect? you are literally goals also, your essays are SO GOOD!

[@thenellecornejo3724]

u made me feel really good about SATs

[@rimikabanerjee314]

thank you!!! this video was awesome

[@dailyfreshero6025]

Thank you for effort! It really helps tremendously !

[@CreolePrince233]

I disagree when she says if you ask about your gpa that it is a red flag. Most times a low gpa from a student that applies to elite schools almost always had an usual circumstance. Gpa is important but one part of the piece, good schools aren’t really for 4.0 gpa’s rather for intellectual vitality.

[@551223]

I admire you're dedication and determination. You're very Down to earth

[@d0nkurai]

Thanks Meredith.

[@kanoacook]

Go Bears!! Just subbed!

[@phamanh4769]

Thank you for sharing. You help ease my anxiety

[@Master00gway]

My gpa is 4.5 and I’m still asking if it’s high enough💀

[@otocinclus]

I graduated last year, but I heard about a Haas meets EECS degree on my way out (I guess there's also Haas meets __ & Haas meets __ too). I'm confused on what college MET is under. If I was in MET, I'd want to make damn sure that I could switch to another engineering major (ie. I'd want to make sure admission to MET is equivalent to admission to the College of Engineering). I feel you have a very stereotypical Haas personality, but I'd be worried that there isn't enough money in business.

[@MeredithMao]

I'm actually under both the college of engineering and the school of business! I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to switch out of M.E.T. But I can switch to another engineering major, I just won't be in the M.E.T Program anymore. It's fine though for me, since I knew I always wanted to do EECS + Business so I don't see myself switching majors. Also, M.E.T is separately funded from alumni and companies!

[@qianqianli7312]

Hi! I was wondering what program helped you write the college essays you mentioned in your video? I would love to know! Thanks!

[@kyubinlee4945]

You are such an inspiration!!! I am currently a junior in the bay area. I'm looking for a research internship for this summer. Which biotech company did you work at and how did you apply for it?

[@vanessavlogs3185]

CAN SOMEONE READ MY MET ESSAY?

[@user-oe4wr9tn2n]

What if my school only offers AP courses in 11th grade onward

[@kimigirl1621]

omg you definitely deserved the acceptance

[@thunderrapid]

congrats! I was dying with 13 units freshman year and I can't imagine putting econ and ugba on top of eecs

[@jgugsu7251]

You really remind me of Weylie... ilikeweylie on youtube

[@kimberlymawi]

omg yes

[@101kitkats]

omg I was thinking she reminded me of someone but I couldn't figure out who

[@punklolitamusic]

hi! do you mind sharing what labs you interned at? (i'm also in the bay!) :)

[@Azian2DaMax]

EECS plus Business lmao. Are you insane?

[@MeredithMao]

A good kind of insane! haha

[@devanshithakkar3919]

Did you apply to EECS +BUISNESS OR BioEngineering+Buisness as your essay mentions bioengineering?

[@anmolgupta9980]

Thank u Meredith for the inspiring video! I was wondering whether you or any of your M.E.T classmates also opted for a minor along the dual degree program? It sounds like a crazy load of work, but the option for a minor was mentioned on the website and I was just curious.

[@brandonjimenez9628]

Hey! I have a question. I was recently accepted as a Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar for mechanical engineering and I was planning on doubling in business. This pathway seems like a perfect fit for me but I don't know if I could try to switch in. I would appreciate any advice or direction. Thanks!

[@MeredithMao]

Brandon Jim no you can’t switch in

[@alexlevine78]

I'm a high school junior from California and a prospective MET EECS student and may have lost my chances at this point due to a little blimp junior. I ended up getting a C in AP physics (unfortunately a 79) due to some tensions with the teacher? I honestly had a pretty rough first semester of junior year due to some personal stress and earned that c and 3 b's but every other semester has been straight A's with the exception of a b in Spanish. I should get straight A's moving forward though. My courses are the most rigorous as well. My gpa is 3.78/4.5 and that probably puts me in the top 5-7% but I'll never know since my school doesn't rank. My test scores are very good, actually pretty much perfect. I also have pretty amazing ec's including lots of personal computer science projects, leadership and entrepreneurship, volunteering, internships, and a little research with a university professor. My teachers speak very highly of my ec's and will write great recs. Also my essays should be excellent. But can this blimp semester really kill me? Thanks! P.S. lol I took Apush and it was the worst decision of my life. I'm very lucky to have pulled off an 80 and will probably switch to regular. We're very much alike. I'm not that strong in humanities either and didn't get such a great critical reading score either. I think it would be equivalent to a 680 on the old one. And my electronics get taken all the time. I'm pretty much forced to study 24/7.

[@saksham3241]

Which engineering major, alongwith a Bachelor's in Business, did you opt for in the MET program?

[@MeredithMao]

EECS!

[@daisyg1201]

What if i just finished an AA in Business. in Texas but want to join the Met program:(

[@curtislee7292]

Did you apply to any ivies? If so were you accepted into any? I know UPenn has a dual program that is very similar to MET so I thought you might have applied there.

[@Alexanator28]

How was the interview for you? Any tips?

[@natbat1869]

I LITERALLY FELT THE PAIN IN UR EYES AT 22:30 :(((

[@katherinedays]

Congratulations! Go Bears :)

[@amandatan6623]

What other UCs did you get accepted into?

[@diegomartinez3096]

I think that every sacrifice you made it is pretty relative worth it.

[@michaelzayas4230]

I am currently a junior at VMHS in Mission, Texas. I am interested in applying to UC Berkeley. Is there any tips on the application process that you can give? And what is the student life like at Cal.

[@ryantakmik4496]

Yah, I have no chance

[@simarkapoor4735]

You are awesome!!!!!!

[@curtislee7292]

Just wondering what score did you get on ap Physics1?

[@MeredithMao]

5

[@kristenlee3220]

well damn

[@onekewlbraddah8460]

Seeing this made me wish I had done better in School.

[@theasdfghjkl1978]

See ya at the campus next year :p

[@kaylingYT]

Really Motivational. Thank you 👌🏼💯

[@jessicaliu1058]

sounds privileged but ok

[@charlottemourad7641]

Jessica Liu this is how most berkeley students are lol

[@toriballa2063]

how? I'm honestly really curious

[@haleywohl7760]

thank you!

[@nikelvilla3043]

how did you even survive ap physics 😭. i’m in that class right now and it’s honestly very difficult for me to understand.

[@MeredithMao]

my biggest advice is definitely to do practice! I remember studying for physics tests by doing (almost) every problem for the chapters corresponding to the test. I would do upwards of 50-60 problems to study which helped me achieve high scores on tests. practice practice practice!

[@kayxeeandguz]

u r my INSPIRATION!

[@MeredithMao]

u r my ROLE MODEL!

[@justStardust940]

how did this overachiever not get into Harvard, much less UCLA? YOU got rejected from UCLA? Omg you should have been accepted into Harvard.

[@kayvonmoshiri7619]

Which SAT score is better? Composite: 1370, Math-740, English-630, Essay-17 or Composite: 1350, Math-680, English-670, Essay-20 I'm applying as a political science major.

[@MeredithMao]

I would say that the composite score of 1350 is better because english is more heavily weighed in political science than math per se. However, you should know that the SAT isn't that important because it's just a number that reflects on how good/bad you are at taking standardized tests. Your extracurriculars are far more important!

[@mattmiller8273]

What was her gpa

[@Harshinstinct]

I wanna be like you

[@kayxee]

go bears i am inspired!!!
