<p>Berkeley/UCLA: huge reach
Caltech: reach
Stanford: big reach
UCSD: reach
USC: reach</p>

<p>It'd be difficult enough to get into Berkeley with your stats; applying EECS will make it basically impossible.</p>

<p>Your GPA and rank hurt you the most; your SAT score is below average for a few of those schools; and your ECs are okay, but you show no passion or focus. All the semi-focus on Asian clubs will probably make it more difficult.</p>

<p>Nice !! I have kinda-sorta the same stats.
I'm applying for Berkeley EECS as well

<p>BTW Do they really look at your PSAT scores? :S</p>

<p>They don't look at your PSAT scores. And even if they did, it wouldn't matter to them.</p>

<p>mmmm.... why do you have two posts with two entirely different stats. i'm assuming you guys are friends on the same sn?</p>

<p>anyways. i don't think the uc's are THAT big of a reach. Yeah, you're gpa is pretty low, but i think that the 2120 sort of makes up for it, so i still think you have a shot at UCSD and UCLA, but maybe not so much for EECS at berkeley.</p>

<p>Just coincidence :)
Do mine :P</p>

<p>No. I've seen people with 2200+ and great extracurriculars, but a 3.5 GPA and got rejected from the top UCs. They really stress GPA, and not SAT so much (as indicated by their averages).</p>
