<p>I'm currently a high school senior and have always wanted to attend Berkeley, but I know that is very difficult...please chance me based on my information below...</p>

hs GPA (weighted) 3.75
hs GPA (unweighted) 3.6</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning: Haven't got my scores but hopefully at least 1700, I'll take it again to improve my score by a least 200pts
SAT Subject: US History 650 (haven't taken my second yet)
Just took my ACT, I'll prob retake them to get them to the equivalent of a 2000 SAT score.</p>

<p>Have taken a total of 10 semesters AP/Honors courses...
took two AP's last year passed the one that everyone fails at my school (AP Environmental)
Failed the one that everyone passes (AP US History)
I'm taking 4 AP exams this May</p>

<p>No Athletics, but President of one club, VP of another, involved in several clubs overall including Improv, Amnesty, Model UN...I've also been an actor in short films, had a webshow...took a trip with Close Up to DC for the Inauguration. I was an Intern for a Congresswomen this past summer</p>

<p>You need a very, very special “Leadership” essay.</p>

3

<p>haha, thanks…I wrote an essay about my experiances as an intern, is that the sort of leadership you mean?</p>

4

<p>Probably no chance – with that GPA and a 1700 SAT, your essays won’t matter much at all.</p>

5

<p>I know it will be near impossible, but i plan to improve my SAT score to 2000…and have a lot of interesting extra-curriculars. Would you happen to know which GPA they look at?
a-g weighted? hs?</p>

6

<p>You have a chance, just get a HIGHER SAT SCORE</p>

<p>If you do that you might be able to get in.</p>
