Berkeley's great diversity drove my interest in attending this university, and I am looking forward to meeting students from all over the world. Berkeley has tremendous resources including many internship opportunities in my major, economics, that will provide experience and direction as I decide, more specifically, the career path that I will take. Millbrook definitely prepared me well for college, particularly in terms of analytical writing that followed college-level criteria in-line with requirements here at Berkeley. Also, living on campus and being a dorm leader really taught me how to better connect with friends and communicate with my dorm mates. I look forward to all of the exciting experiences that await me at Berkeley; plus, California has such great weather and food!
