<p>Where do you live? If you’re in-state you UCB is a mid reach at least, if OOS quite high reach. It’s not your fault. UCB is a great school but, they have to reserve a certain percentage of seats for in-staters. I suppose the 4.3 GPA is weighted?</p>

<p>As I say a lot, UCB and UCLA are in the middle of urban areas with huuuuge metro populations. Part of the reason why those schools get to be incredibly picky is because they have such a huge pool of brave little fishies to choose from ;)</p>

<p>Do you like UCB because it’s the highest ranked UC and (I think but can’t remember) the highest ranked public uni? Or do you like it because you’ve been there and enjoyed the town or the people… or the major or something? If you have the passion behind it, you’ll be much more likely to find yourself at UCB in a year or however long it is you have to go. </p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>
