Can I make it to UC Berkeley? (Californian studying abroad)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey, guys. I'm kind of nervous about my application even though I know I tried my best. Cal is my dream school. Period.
Okay, let's do this.</p>

<p>I'm a Californian studying abroad. These are my stats:</p>

<p>ACT: 31
GPA: (we don't have a GPA in our school, but if it helps, my average is 95%)
SAT MATH II: 760
SAT PHYSICS: 760
AP PHYSICS B: 5
A-LEVEL MATH: A*
A-LEVEL PHYSICS: A
A-LEVEL AICT: A
IGCSE MATH: A
IGCSE BIOLOGY: A*
IGCSE CHEMISTRY: A
IGCSE ENGLISH: A
IGCSE ICT: A*
IGCSE PHYSICS: A*</p>

<p>(I took the A-Levels and aced them before we even finished the curriculum at school)</p>

<p>This year's course load:
AP PSYCHOLOGY
AP MACROECONOMICS
AP MACROECONOMICS
AP CALCULUS AB
A-LEVEL MATH
A-LEVEL PHYSICS
A-LEVEL AICT</p>

<p>My school offers a British curriculum- it doesn't offer AP classes (I take them online via APEX Learning)</p>

<p>As far as extracurricular are concerned, I spent three of my high school years writing a novel and I published it on Amazon. My school created an event where Princess Aya al Faisal of Jordan honored me as a young writer. I also co-created a non-profit organization to encourage the local youth to read and engage in creative writing. It was supported by local activists and businessmen who contributed to our cause. </p>

<p>My application is more detailed, but I hope this gave you a glimpse of what I'm showing the admission officers at Cal. I am applying for Civil Engineering, and one of my personal statements clearly described why I want to be an engineer at Cal. What do you think? Is my application competitive?
Thanks!</p>

<p>By the way, I know I made multiple posts about Berkeley and had slight variations in stats (those were predictions) but these are all final and have been submitted.</p>

<p>I think you have a really good shot! Your ACT score puts you in a very good percentile and your IGCSE/A-level grades are definitely a plus too. The EC that you mentioned is gold, but how many volunteer work have you done? Combined with strong essays, I think you have a really good chance! Good Luck!</p>

<p>I’m applying there too; I’m also a Californian studying abroad - Let’s hope we’ve done enough <em>fingers crossed</em>
Chance me back?
