How I made it to UC Berkeley!

What does it really take to get into UC Berkeley?

In this heartfelt testimonial, Jassimrat Kaur, an Athena alumna from Heritage International, shares how she defied the odds to earn admission to one of the world’s most competitive universities.

When she began her journey, Jassimrat worried about standing out in a world dominated by STEM and AI. With Athena’s guidance, she found her voice, leaned into her passions for arts, humanities, and gender empowerment, and even created a powerful documentary spotlighting women’s self-help groups in rural India.

From transforming confusion into clarity to the unforgettable moment she opened her Berkeley acceptance, Jassimrat’s journey is proof that with the right guidance, courage, and authenticity, you can turn uncertainty into a world-class admit.

If you’re wondering what it really takes to get into a top California university, this is the video you need to watch.
