I should point out that I am the stupid one among them, which is why I have to limit myself to UC (Berkeley or UCSD—as they have a HUGE Cog Sci and AI program at UCSD that rivals Berkeley’s). If I was not disabled (and old enough to be most of the group’s father) I would probably be heading to MIT or CMU as well… Although, Berkeley is not shabby. My GPA suffered horribly when I first went back to school due to not taking my disability fully into account and not knowing my rights as a disabled person yet. I have finally managed to have a couple of semesters at 3+ GPA, but my overall GPA is still slightly below 3. I’ve been told that I will stand a good chance to get into Berkeley if I maintain the 3.2 to 3.7 semesters I’ve been getting since the end of 2008 (I only do 3⁄4 time, as I discovered in that first semester that I can’t manage full time very well).
Thank you for the compliment though. I hope that I continue to be worthy of it.
