<p>Stats are good for EECS. Your essay ultimately might make it or break it for the readers. I don’t know if the UC app readers see whether the applicant is female or male but it definitely does help I think. </p>
<p>Thanks for the reply! Anyone else? Any insight is appreciated.</p>
<p>EECS is hard to chance. I think you’re pretty good with your stats, but all you can do is try it and see. Yes, you’ve got a shot, but how good it is… who knows. Berkeley admissions are a little unpredictable.</p>
<p>Thank you for the reply Anyone else?</p>
<p>Thank you. I know that that thread exists. I was just looking for some personal feedback.</p>
<p>I would be shocked if you didn’t get in. </p>
<p>@TheBanker Can you be more specific please? What exactly stands out to you? Just curious. Thanks!</p>
<p>Could you guys chance me as well? I’ll also be applying for EECS. Sorry for piggybacking this thread! </p>

SCU Summer Engineering Seminar–1 week residential, free and selective (10-15% of applicants selected), overviews subdisciplines of engineering and “gives a taste of college dorm life”.</p>

<p>Changing major within the College of Engineering requires a competitive admission process. Apply to the major you are most interested in. You can also apply as undeclared in the College of Engineering, which will give you free choice of major to declare later, but this is likely to be more selective than declared College of Engineering majors.
