BOTH MY SISTERS JUST GOT INTO BERKELEY!

Oh My God. This is amazing. I am so proud.
UPDATE: It gets even better. They both got $13,000 merit scholarships for the first year.... AND the major they transferred into is one of the five toughest to get into. (Mass Communications).

Congratulations, Gilliams! My brother's a Berkeley alum so you'll be in good company!
And nothing would go better with a double scholarship than a double lung transplant.

Congratulations to them and you. Outstanding uni, that Cal is. They're gonna love it and the area.
There was a time when I was hoping to get into Cal's law school, but I'm apparently not smart enough to learn how to rationalize the use of torture or the unitary executive theory under law professor John Yoo.
I tell ya, that John Yoo clown deserves some serious mass communication.
