<p>--As far as Math and Science go, since I am applying to Engineering--:
I am one of 10 out of nearly 700 people in my class to take calculus as a sophomore, and have earned A's and 5's in calculus as well.
Have taken pretty much every science class school has to offer.
Pretty good at chem...A's in chem across the board, 4 on the AP Test, and a 720 on SAT 2</p>

<p>First Generation College Student...what are my chances? I am applying as a Materials Engineering major.</p>

3

<p>bump please</p>

4

<p>whats ur class rank?</p>

5

<p>our school doesnt rank, but im pretty sure top 10%</p>

6

<p>I would say reach. The GPA/test scores seem just a bit low, but the ECs are quite strong. You seem like a qualified student. It’s just reach because it’s Engineering and it’s Berkeley :P</p>

7

<p>you are still within the range of accepted applicants. more like in the lower 70-100% range of the admitted students. There is still a chance. But you will have to fight for it.</p>

<p>I would say engineering is pretty hard to get in at Berkeley.
and definitely work on your GPA and SAT as much as you can - because UCB really ranks their applicants with these.
But your ECs may give you a fighting chance.</p>
