Berkeley? =(

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi. I'm really nervous cause I just completed and sent my UC application. Berkeley is my absolute dream school, and though a lot of my peers tell me I'm probably in, I need to hear from a few outside resources, 'cause I don't know if they're just trying to be nice.
The UCs I'd want to go to are Cal, UCLA, UCSD, and maybe Davis or Santa Barbara.</p>

<p>My stats:
*CA Resident</p>

<p>*1420 SAT I - 710 math, 710 verbal
SAT IIs: 750 Writing, 720 Math IIC, 760 Chem
ACT: 33.
*Took AP Chem, Bio, Physics B, English Language, Calc AB. one 5, three 4s, one 3 on the AP tests. Currently taking 4 APs.
*4.05 overall GPA. This is what really kills me.
our school doesn't do ranks but I'm sure I'm in top 25%. </p>

<p>Really strong ECs and community service- not worried about this part.
but hardly any leadership. =/
My essay is strong.</p>

<p>What are my chances at:
Berkeley
UCLA
UCSD
Davis
Santa Barbara</p>

<p>Thank you sooooooooooooo much.</p>

<p>Your chances could, in fact, range anywhere from extremely weak to extremely strong. Hope this helps!</p>

3

<p>haha...thanks i guess
anyone else? on the verge of a mental crisis here.</p>

<p>j/k... your gpa is great.. wtf are you worried for? Strong SATS... you need to show that you're unique..</p>

5

<p>I think you are in! Again, my scores suck and I don't know much about college admissions but my friend had about the same stats as you--although, higher SAT math, IIC, and chem scores-- and he got into UCB and UCLA's engineering school. He opted for engineering. But, I think you got Cal! I really WANT your writing and chem scores....</p>

<p>i hope my essay did that for me :-/ and my ECs aren't too conventional...I work at a youth crisis hotline, play in a ton of classical music ensembles, and i dive competitively.</p>

7

<p>thanks mlsmateo that makes me feel better <3</p>

8

<p>which AP exam did you get a 3 on?</p>

9

<p>was it calc?</p>

10

<p>nahh, physics...i half-assed that class</p>

11

<p>anyone else know people with similar/worse stats than mine that got in?
thanks</p>

12

<p>Two other people from my school last year: Asian dude...Varsity Basketball...NHS...really smart....same, maybe lower numbers...
Chick...liberal...into writing...not very involved...I am pretty sure her numbers were lower</p>

<p>Sry that I don't have more info and that everything I said is useless for comparison.</p>

13

<p>I know a kid from last year that got into Berkeley with very low stats compared to you. I have no clue how he got in, except for his high GPA. SATs: 1200 SAT IIs: all 500s. NO ECs at all, some volunteer work, but a high school gpa of 4.4 or so. He was also in the ELC program. I'm also hoping for CAL (I've lower stats than you lol)</p>

14

<p>thanks both of you guys
iamhung, i hope both of us get in. if we do...see you at Cal! :)</p>

15

<p>horrible. community college if you can manage to fill out the application correctly, which i doubt. Dont apply to CAL; you increase my competition.</p>

16

<p>i think your good, </p>

<p>ps dont apply to berkeley, your ruining my chances, jk</p>
