<p>I'm going to try to transfer into one of these schools for fall 2012, when I'm a junior.</p>
<p>College GPA: 3.71, I anticipate getting this getting to 3.75 to 3.85 by the year but think of it as 3.75.
Credits: 53 (including AP), probably 86 by the end of sophomore year
Majors: Economics and Business
ECs: Parliamentary Debate, Lambda Sigma Honors society, Internet store, Humane Society, and I anticipate joining a business related club when I go back to school but didnt last year because I was interested in Poli Sci.
High School GPA: 3.60
ACT: 33</p>
<p>I am a Michigan resident so I'm in state for Michigan and I go to a top 60 school. I will probably apply for the liberal arts college at each of these schools.</p>
<p>Is there anything else you recommend that I do to increase my chances outside of getting a 4.0?
Thanks.</p>
<p>I know that Berkeley is accepting more OOS students to increase funding in a time of fiscal worry, so there’s some good news. Still, though, accepted applicants heavily trend in-state. I think you have a great chance for Michigan, and an okay chance for Berkeley/UVA if you keep your GPA high and write some killer essays.</p>
<p>That’s good to know, do you know if $18,000 is actually the OOS tuition for UCB? I couldn’t really believe it when I saw it on their website.</p>
<p>I don’t think that’s correct.</p>

<p>“California residents will pay $11,124 in tuition next year, while nonresidents will pay $34,002.”</p>

<p>“Non-resident tuition add $22,878.”</p>
<p>OK, that sounds way more reasonable and realistic. 18k sounded way too good to be true for tuition. Thanks.</p>
