Looks like you are a match to me!

5

Did you apply for Financial aid? If not, then you’re pretty much set.

6

@IBstudent10001‌ i put berkeley on the fafsa. i dont know how this would effect me

7

That might hurt you a bit…but you’re in the ballpark for both of them.
Good Luck!

Match to high match
Chance me back! http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1741222-chances-for-all-ivies-especially-harvard-and-upenn-berkeley-stanford-chicago-ed-upenn.html#latest

@IBstudent10001‌ would you say high match?

10

yeah! Probably…have you applied to the other UC’s as well?

11

@IBstudent10001‌ yes actually i got into UCD and UCSD oos

12

Even UCSB is actually really good for Physics.

13

@IBstudent10001‌ I’m aware, I applied there as well. its just that im more worried about my chances for ucb and ucla

14

I’d say match. You are a very strong applicant, and your test scores and ECs really stand out. The number of B’s is concerning, however. I think you have a very good chance.

Chance me back! :slight_smile: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1752045-chance-me-and-ill-chance-you-back-cornell-duke-penn.html#latest

15

Don’t worry much, I’m pretty sure you’ll get into atleast one of them, if not both. Do you have any other acceptances to back it off? other than the UC’s.

16

@giraffeinatree‌ yea i understand, my GPA is slightly under average

(around a 3.7 uw, 4.3 fully weighted, and 4.19 uc fully weighted)

17

I might have missed it but if you’re a California resident then I think you’re in for both. Good luck!

18

@IBstudent10001‌ yes i do, so im not worried too much, I think berkeley gets really really hard for the engineering applicants

19

@healthandmusic‌ i’m OOS (missouri)

20

But you’re not going for engineering right?
