Chance me for EECS, please.

<p>Thanks for viewing. My current dilemma is that I believe I have a decent shot at getting into L&S, but I'd rather apply to EECS or at least another engineering major because I'm a math-science guy. Also, I kind of don't want to jeopardize my position as an IAP nominee which is why I've been vacillating on this topic lately.</p>

<p>Thanks if you can give some feedback. :]</p>

<p>I would say low match. Everything seems to be there except for your GPA. Try to nail your essays and you'll have a much better chance.</p>

<p>Your GPA is a little low. SAT score is okay and you have good SAT II scores. Upward trend doesn't really matter. ECs are a little sparse. I would say ~30% chance for L&S and ~15% for EECS.</p>

<p>I'd say reach for L&S and a big reach for EECS. Your GPA is a bit weak for Berkeley, and you don't fall into the top 10%. Your SAT I is good, and your SAT IIs are especially strong. Your ECs are rather average, and don't really show a passion for the major you're intending.</p>

<p>As an added note, there's a sticked chance thread on this forum (no need for individual chance threads).</p>

<p>um there doesnt seem to be a strong interest in ee or cs in your profile. if your doing another major it should be fine</p>

<p>and your chance will also depend on whether other people(higher in rank) in your school are doing eecs.</p>

<p>Yeah and if other people can help chance people in the sticked chance thread that'd help.</p>
