<p>match, gunn high school right?</p>
<p>thanks! anyone else?</p>
<p>I can give you a pretty fair evaluation if you give me the following: </p>
<ul>
<li>Fully weighted 10-12 a-g GPA</li>
<li>Your percentile at school in terms of GPA only</li>
</ul>
<p>Otherwise, I think it is a reach. I know countless 2380’s/4.0’s from the bay area that didn’t get Cal EECS. I think its as hard to get into as the ivies/stanford. Play up the girl in engineering part. Talk about how you want to use your engineering interests to help others. </p>
<p>Make sure to apply broadly, and don’t leave Cal EECS as your only option. I am pretty sure you will make Cal LNS, so if you want Berkeley as a reliable option, you may want to apply just CS. </p>
<p>I don’t have my senior year grades so not including those, my high school weighted GPA is 4.26. My school does not give percentiles-- only deciles. I am in the 1st decile (top 10%). I would love to see your evaluation. Thanks.</p>
<p>However, if it’s UC GPA that you are looking for, I have a 4.25 not including senior year grades.</p>
<p>4.25 is on the low end for Berkeley EECS. UCLA engineering had a median of 4.44. </p>
<p>Make sure this is what you are looking at:
- only count a-g courses
- count ALL honors, ap, ib, or cl as weighted
- do not count freshman year </p>
<p>Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you’re capping your GPA. UC Berkeley and UCLA will weigh your fully weighted a lot more than your capped.</p>
<p>You should be around 4.7 UC fully weighted for a competitive chance at Cal EECS. Your SAT and ECs seem competitive. </p>
<p>Your ECs are really good!
I think that Berkeley EECS can be considered a reach for pretty much everyone, but I think you’re definitely competitive, and you have a pretty good chance ! </p>
<p>If you get a chance, could you please check mine out? Thanks!!!

<p>@puzzled123 Does UC fully weighted only include sophomore and junior year grades? I know the capped one only considers sophomore and junior grades by what about fully weighted?</p>
<p>If it does only include sophomore and junior grades then my fully weighted UC GPA would be ~4.46. There are very few honors classes available to students until junior year.</p>
<p>@puzzled123 May I ask where you got the data showing that a good GPA for acceptance to Berkeley EECS is a 4.7? That seems really high. Thanks.</p>
<p>fully weighted is only sophomore and junior year grades. </p>
<p>I got the GPA while talking to an adcom. He told me berkeley engineering had around a 9% acceptance rate. I would assume that Cal EECS would be around 6-7% then, and nearly as competitive to get into as top ivies. </p>
<p>chances anyone else?</p>
<p>I feel that you have really good AP score, but the SAT II load might be a bit lacking. Your SAT and GPA is up there, but with Berkeley, who knows? :(. Otherwise, probably try to take the ACT if possible to bolster up the standardized test results.</p>
