<li>With that SAT score i’d say high high reach</li>
<li>Berkeley swimming is extremely competitive. You have to be olympic/near olympic level in the UK i’d assume to be able to swim here. Also you would have to take on a easier major if you want to swim here as well. e.g. Missy Franklin just commited to Cal and you would be swimming along her.</li>
<li>UCB doesn’t give sports scholarships from what I know.</li>

<p>You can’t get in with a 1710 unless you’re a HEAVILY coveted athlete. </p>

<p>If you’re good enough for Cal’s team (You might be, I have no idea. I knew some Olympic-caliber swimmers in high school) you need to get in touch with our recruiting staff. I have no idea how to do this. Talk to your coaches.</p>
