Update:
September, 2000
Damon Gilkerson
has successfully completed his freshman year at UCLA. After a summer internship
at Hewlett-Packard, he will be continuing his studies as a Computer Science
and Engineering major this fall. Damon feels that his high school education
prepared him well for the challenge of adjusting to collegiate life. According
to Damon, Ailed Paningbatan loved her first year at UC Berkeley and received
supportive responses from viewers who had seen Making the Grade. (Unfortunately,
KQED TV9 was unable to reach Ailed before tonight's broadcast.)

About
the Program
As
two Bay Area high school seniors apply to the University of California
at Berkeley, Making the Grade examines the complicated issues around recent
changes in California's affirmative action policies. Now that the state
bans race as a factor in admissions, how does the University decide who
gets in and who doesn't? Is this fair? How can equal educational opportunitites
be achieved for all students?

letters are in - find out who got accepted
into UC Berkeley.
