  1. Can you and your family afford UCB as a full pay student at $65K/year to attend?

You are within range academically for UCB but you should consider it a Reach school due to low acceptance rate.

2018 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 4.20 or above capped weighted and not major specific:
UCB: 37%

2019 UC capped weighted GPA averages along with 25th-75th percentile range:
UCB: 4.23 (4.15-4.30)

2019 Data:
25th - 75th percentiles for SAT totals:
UCB: 1340-1540

I think you have a better than the 37% chance as posted.

Best of luck.
