<p>good chances man! good chances!</p>

3

<p>looks great dawg! very strong GPA, EC's, SAT's! Good luck</p>

4

<p>There is already a topic for "what are my chances" discussions; please do use it.</p>

<p>I don't think you have much to worry about with stats like those.</p>

5

<p>Does CSF count as extracurricular?</p>

<p>And I think you have great chances, btw.</p>

6

<p>everything looks good, your most likeley in!</p>

7

<p>CSF = Awards</p>

8

<p>do you still even need to ask?</p>

<p>just SAT and GPA is enough already, in my opinion</p>

<p>one suggestion though, make a new username immediately and tell me the password to your current one (so i can switch)</p>

9

<p>Do the elc's in your high school get into Berkeley? If yes, than you will also.</p>

10

<p>Most of the ELC's at my school did last year. Last year, Berkeley accepted about fifteen people from my school (around there).</p>

11

<p>Then you have a very good chance. You're probably in that top 15 students that they will take again this year.</p>

12

<p>SAT and AP could be a bit stronger, but based on GPA and EC, you'll get in.</p>

13

<p>Eek, I just applied this morning. I'm so scareeed. :(</p>
