<p>I'm really confused about my chances at Berkeley because it's my top choice, but I don't know if I am qualified or not, and I would really appreciate honest input regarding my chances. Please and thank you.</p>
<p>Scores
GPA 4.19 weighted, 3.9 unweighted
SAT 1700 (found out today), but I want to bump it up AT LEAST to a 1800 and slightly higher than 2000 max
Subject Test: US history 680
I will work my butt off to make sure my essay is well above "average" </p>
<p>AP classes taken: English Language and Composition, US History, European History, and I will take AP English Lit and Gov/Econ next year</p>
<p>Extracurriculars
Cross Country (3 yrs):JV Team Captain, "Most Inspirational Player" award, and team manager next year
JSA Club (4 years) and will most likely hold a position next year
Mock Trial: My school has one of the best teams in our district and we usually win so it's a big deal to even be on it, but I don't know if a college cares that much...
Technical Theater (2 years)
School Newspaper (2 years) as Opinion Editor
National Honor Society and California Scholarship Federation Club
Literary Magazine: Staff and had a two pieces published</p>
<p>I have a generous amount of volunteer work done</p>
<p>I've received awards for Academic Excellence every year and have also gotten awards for "Outstanding Academic Excellence" in English I, World History, and Chemistry </p>
<p>Side Note: I go to an extremely rigorous private college prep school so that might add weight and I will not have one academic class dropped when I graduate</p>
<p>There might be a few minor things here and there, but I'm confused because I know that Berkeley will have a really great selection of A+ students and I basically want to know if I can get in...</p>
