Are these grades competitive for UCB, UCLA?

<p>I was a straight-A student during my freshman and sophomore years, but I had a recent slip-up junior year, and as a result, ended up with 3 Bs and 1 C (intermixed with 10 As that year).</p>

<p>Berkeley, in particular, has always been my dream school, so it’d be great if my a few bad grades didn’t ruin me completely.</p>

<p>My UC GPA is a 4.11, and my SAT (single sitting) is a 2070. Do I stand a chance?</p>

<p>(I’m really only worried about numbers, I believe I’m competitive in the ECs/Awards department)</p>

<p>Looking at your transcript-I think you have a chance as one of the Bs was in an AP class. You are not taking the most rigorous classes-honors vs AP-but Cal & UCLA triy to be holistic-and if it is your dream-then spend the $$ and apply.G'Luck</p>

<p>Well, my school only offers a few APs until senior year, and I took all of them (this year I am taking 4 APs, 2 honors). Also, at my school, Honors courses are just as hard as AP courses... I also took every single Honors course that I could, so in terms of course rigor, I took the most challenging I could.</p>

<p>Anyway, thanks! :)</p>

<p>I'd say you're definitely competitive though not guaranteed.</p>
