<p>Then again, I’m not from California; it seems like the UC’s have a completely different system of admissions than what we in the Northeast are accustomed to. Heck, I don’t even know what a “UC GPA” is… I’m only basing this off of what your UW GPA is. Let me know if that’s something different. I envy you all. </p>

<p>Test scores, on the other hand, are superb. They help you out for all schools, especially Berkeley, which I know places a huge emphasis on test scores.</p>

<p>My advice? Write a slam-dunk essay about your hardships making you a stronger candidate overall, keep up the good work, and you’ll be just fine.</p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1517788-chance-johns-hopkins-ed-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1517788-chance-johns-hopkins-ed-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, I didn’t put any of the UC’s on my profile either, so if you do decide to chance me, could you include Berkeley and UCLA please? Thanks!</p>

<p>@Catria, do you have any advice for the personal statement? I don’t want to make any excuses at all for my GPA drop but I’m just having trouble with where I should begin. What do places like UCLA and UC Berkeley look for in essays?</p>
