Can I get into UC Berkeley??

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm going to be a junior in high school and I really want to go to UC Berkeley! I hope to be a corporate lawyer! Do you think I have a chance of getting in? </p>

<p>GPA is 4.333. Rank is currently the top 1%. Hopefully will be at least top 5% for rest of high school.</p>

<p>I haven't taken SATs yet but when I took PSAT at beginning of sophomore year my projected score for the SAT was about 1700-2000. This was before I had studied at all, but a while afterwards, I started studying by taking the SAT Question of the Day and learning some vocab words. I'm taking the PSAT again at the beginning of junior year and should improve a lot, then taking actual SAT towards end of junior year. Also, I scored 90, 94, 96 % higher than other sophomores so I think that was pretty good..</p>

<p>My goal is at least 2100 on the SAT.</p>

<p>I took 2 honors classes freshmen year, 1 honor and 1 AP sophomore year. This has been the most you can take. Next year I am taking the 3 AP classes, the most you can take is 5. Senior year I should take about 4 APs. I think I passed the one AP test I took, and plan to study/try to pass all the tests I take.</p>

<p>The clubs I'm in are National Honors Society, California Scholarship Federation, French Club, and another club that prevents drug/alcohol use in teens. Next year I'm joining Speech and Debate and a community service club. I'm also planning to start a club.</p>

<p>I plan to have at least 300 community service hours by the time I apply. I've done a lot of my volunteering at two places, steadily, so that shows commitment, right?</p>

<p>I'm also planning to sign up with a charity, in which I'll be charge of running clean ups in our area, as well as doing some other things to help environment.</p>

<p>I'm going to have an internship over summer with the district office of my area's congressmen. </p>

<p>Can I get in? What are other schools you'd reccommend for me & which schools could be reach, match, safety schools for me.</p>

<p>P.S. Sorry this is so long!!
And are there any other things that would look good?
And any tips for the SAT, AP tests, etc?</p>

<p>If there is anyone who went to Berkeley, or got accepted/rejected, what were your stats and why do you think you did/did not get in.</p>

<p>Study hard for your AP tests if you want college credit. You only have one chance to take them. (I think you can take it again the next year but that costs a lot of money) Work hard in your AP classes to show colleges you’re hardworking. </p>

<p>Your stats look good, I think you have a good chance.
Study for your SATs as well.</p>

<p>I’m assuming you’re an instate student:</p>

<p>With a 2150+ on the SAT I would say you have a 75% + chance of getting into UCB, and a 90% chance of getting into UCLA. UCSD is practically guaranteed assuming you keep your grades up.</p>

<p>And please apply for a great summer program to help fill out your app! It would definitely make you seem well rounded :)</p>
