I would have two versions. One thats a page and a half and one thats one page. The page and a half you can write more so that should be your main ds but some schools only allow one page (Berkeley)
Hey! I'm also in Berkeley and also planning on testing in August!! I went to Cal so tons of libraries there to study group at! Right now I'm testing mid-150s and aiming for a 170. Please hit me up! I really look forward to this!
IDK much about admissions but does UC Berkeley average scores or take highest? Maybe you could get in with a 171. Would you get burnt out if you took it again? Would you want to take it again regardless if that meant more scholarship funds?
