Anthropology at UC Berkeley?

<p>Hi everyone, </p>

<p>I am a CC student that is planning to apply to transfer out for Fall 2015. My #1 choice is UC Berkeley, which I just toured today and fell in love with. I am also going to tour/apply to UCLA and UCSB, and probably UC Merced as well. </p>

<p>First, I want to ask everyone if they have any other school suggestions for a Biological Anthropology Major? I was thinking about applying to UC Santa Cruz and UC San Diego as well, but know basically nothing about their bio anthro programs. I heard UCB and UCLA have great anthro departments....what about the other UC's? </p>

<p>Second, have any of you been admitted to Berkeley or UCLA? If so, what were your GPA's and overall applications like? </p>

<p>Third, my tour guide didn't really know anything about the UCB Anthro program....is anyone on here currently in it? Or have been in it?</p>

<p>Lastly, what do you think my chances are of getting into these schools? My GPA is pretty low...a 3.4...but my major GPA is close to a 4.0. I am a white female, first generation college student from California. I work part time in addition to school full time, and I have a full-time volunteer job as a Puppy Raiser for Guide Dogs For The Blind located in San Rafael, Ca...right by Berkeley! (Basically, I train service dogs for blind and visually impaired people. When I am done training them, I give them back to the Guide Dog school and they match them up with a blind person. I have done this for 4 years, and my entire time at my CC). </p>

<p>Any and all info/tips/advice would be greatly appreciated....I feel so lost in this process! </p>

<p>Thanks! </p>
