Year Long College Consulting + Unlimited 1-1 mentorship by Berkeley Students

hi guys!!

so my friends and I did the whole college app process this year and we all ended up at our dream school (#Berkeley!!!). One thing we noticed is that a lot of college counselors require a lot of money to help kids with the college app process or developing extracurriculars. As someone who didn't want to pay thousands of dollars for something I could do myself, I counted on older Berkeley students to help me and guide me through the process.

As someone who ended up having internships at Stanford and working for various startups in high school, I want to give back and be a mentor to people who felt unsure and nervous about college apps.

I'm planning to have a cohort of around 15-20 high schoolers (any grade) who get a year of personalized extracurricular planning and guidance, essay help, unlimited messages and phone calls, and a closer environment to obtain help with college. I will be giving you extracurriculars to do, opportunities to apply for, and curate your application for your dream school and major. While most counselors charge thousands, each accepted student will pay $75 for the whole year-and yes, you can book unlimited 1-1 meetings and DM me 24/7 for extra help. Of course,I can't take too many people, so please comment down if interested and I can send you the application form. You don't need to be cracked to be accepted, but we can only help students who are creative and have the drive to put in the work.

THE FORM IS DUE JULY 18! It is NOT rolling as we want to accept the top 20 students with the most potential + drive to be successful. Please be honest in your responses-you don't necessarily need to be cracked to be accepted.

HERE IS THE APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/ZxMSFMuXmG847YSp7

CS61A question

Is CS61A harder in the spring? I looked on berkeleytime and the grade averages for spring with Dan Garcia are WAY LOWER than fall with John DeNero. As an incoming freshman, I have a lot of experience with python and java but was thinking of doing CS10 in the fall and then CS61A in the spring but after seeing the grade averages in the fall vs spring, would it be worth it to just take 61A this fall instead?

I'm an incoming freshman data science major, and my enrollment time is 9:20AM. I want to enroll in CS10, Math 52, and DataC8, and I was wondering if I'd be able to get all my courses. Also, should I take a fourth course? Any advice or feedback would be appreciated :)
