<p>How hard is it to get into Berkeley EECS?
Would <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=323597%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=323597</a> be good enough?</p>
<p>[Sorry about the link, but the Chance section is dead].</p>
<p>Yeah, that looks pretty good for EECS. SAT I could be a little higher.</p>
<p>Thanks. Any others?</p>
<p>Help Please.</p>
<p>yeah SAT's could be higher, and hm... the AP scores could be higher as well (I don't know how important that is in admissions though, but a lot of EECSers seem to have higher AP scores). It would be helpful if you can raise the rank up to top 10.</p>
<p>I love how you call community service slave labor. lol.</p>
<p>Math IIC score?</p>
<p>Haven't taken yet, but with AP Cal AB and BC, I can assure a 750-800.. hopefully.</p>
<p>wow wat a dedicated junior, I wish i was this committed to colleges last year. Well yeah write a good essay next year and you should be fine. Keep up a good work and score high on ur SAT/APs. U could work on ur writing portion of SATs</p>
<p>Wow dedicated? You flatter me. You should see how much I sleep :).</p>
<p>Should I just concentrate on raising my SAT scores?</p>
<p>Try to raise your SAT I score and practice for your SAT II Math IIC exam as well. For your other SAT II you might want to consider the Physics exam.</p>
<p>I took Physics during the summer and it wasn't as good as I thought. It just reviewed the stuff I already knew from 4th grade..</p>
<p>Will not taking the SATII Physics test hurt my chances?</p>
<p>No, it won't hurt your chances (I didn't take the Physics exam and I got in), but I'm just saying that if you take it and score well on it, it'd certainly help a lot. You're aiming to take Math IIC and a science exam, and physics is more relevant to Berkeley EECS than biology or chemistry. A high score on physics will help you more than a high score in chemistry, but that's not to say that a high score in chemistry won't look impressive and not get you in. I'm just helping you look for that extra something to increase your chances a bit of getting in. It's unfortunate that you're taking physics your senior year as that means you'll have to self-study a lot of the exam.</p>
<p>By self-study, do you mean for the AP Exam?</p>
<p>I plan to take SATII Math2C, Chemistry, and US History.</p>
<p>what is the rate of survival for cal's EECS; i heard only a little over 50% makes it through freshmen year, is it tru?</p>
<p>Don't worry about survival rate :).
All it means is the weak perish !! Muahahah... <em>ahem</em></p>
<p>(50% seems a bit high).</p>
<p>I got into cal's eecs, but i don't want to go to berkeley cuz of the competitiveness (u c, im sort of a laid back guy). tell me some scary statistics so i can scare off my very asian parents. what would you say is the rouch survival rate at EECS (that is to make it thru without switching major)?</p>
<p>What are your stats? :)</p>
<p>GPA: 4.3(weighted) 3.9 (unweighted)
SAT: math 800 CR 680 Writing 690
SAT II: math2c 800, chem, 760, chinese 800, bio M 760
(have some award from community service and math competition and peer tutorial)</p>
<p>I'm not survivable rite?</p>
<p>It's up to you if you want to survive or not.
Nice stats, so I have to beat those if I want to get in.. <em>mumbles</em></p>
<p>u'r not in Cal? then how do u kno these stuff?</p>
