Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So, I live in NJ and I am applying to UC Berkeley for 2012. The following is basically my profile:</p>

<p>SAT: 2080 (CR: 620, M: 780, W: 680)
SAT II Chem: 780
SAT II Math II: 780
SAT II Bio (M) : 720</p>

<p>GPA: Weighted- 4.02 (out of a possible 4.44) Unweighted - (3.74)</p>

<p>Classes: AP Calc BC, AP Chem, AP Economics, AP European History (12th grade)
AP Physics, AP Statistics (11th grade)
AP Spanish Language, AP Bio (10th grade)</p>

<p>I have a lot of extracurricular activities (Key Club, Volunteering at Hospital etc)
I have 2 jobs</p>

<p>I had all A' freshman year, all A's and 2 B's in sophomore, all A's and 3 B+ 's in junior year</p>

<p>My dad's friend is a professor at Columbia University. I worked with him for two years on a research project that I talked about in my Berkeley essay. I also got a recommendation letter from this prof. Hope that helps</p>

<p>Living in NJ is a problem because I heard that out of state applicants have a disadvantage at Berkeley. Please tell me if i have a chance here!! I really want to pursue engineering here. Let me know if you nee anything more.</p>

<p>With that SAT score and GPA, I don’t see it happening. Any amazing ECs? From what you’ve listed, those are quite average ECs. What are your two jobs? If they’re anything like research w/ a Colombia professor, that’d greatly help your chances. Lastly, Berkeley/all UC’s actually like out of state applicants. They rack up more money!</p>

<p>well, my sat 1 scores meet up to the collegeboard data for berkeley, so idk where you got that. And I kind of agree with the GPA but i have challenged myself too. My two jobs are tutoring and crew member at Wendys. I have over 400+ hours of community service, which is why i didnt bother to list the ec…I also am on the track team.</p>
