<p>Okay all your schools, I think you have a good shot of getting into. Your only minor weakness is your SAT scores HOWEVER being a CA resident, being deeply involved in your ECs, AND stellar grades will compensate for that detail. If you can add solid essays to your strengths, it will only help you :slight_smile: Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/816473-chance-aa-female-elite-schools-updated-stats.html&lt;/a&gt; <—Include Yale also!</p>

<p>What GPA does UCLA and Berkeley take a look at? I’m confused because they say they use a different system where it involves calculating your high school transcript. That’s my question, plus I want more opinions and chances!</p>
