Can I make it to Berkeley by stats alone?

<p>Hi, I'm probably a "typical" nerd. Strong stats, but very mediocre ECs. Is it possible to make it to Berkeley simply based on my stats? </p>

<p>California resident; Asian male</p>

<p>SAT: 2250: 700 / 780 / 770
SAT subjects: Math II 800; Physics 800</p>

<p>GPA: unweighted 4.0
UC GPA: 4.45 (that means many AP / Honor classes, etc). </p>

<p>ELC, so I'm top 4% of my class. About 400 from a decent public school (Bronze in USNews High School Ranking). </p>

<p>But my ECs are nothing outstanding: about 200 hours to homework tutoring, playing pianos for 10 years, some minor club president, etc. I did have a paid internship. </p>

<p>So what do you say my chance to Berkeley, or other UCs? I guess it's impossible to get to Caltech / Stanford / Cornell, so I should not bother and save my parents a few hundreds application fees? </p>

<p>Please share your thoughts. Thanks, and I'll chance back!</p>

<p>You’ll get in. Top 5% with those test scores is enough (the beauty of public university)</p>

<p>Good chance.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t doubt your chances at Cornell. And yes, odds are you’re going to get into Berkeley.</p>
