<p>Yeah that is what I was thinking too. Thanks for the input. I wish my test scores were a little higher. I have a 33 superscored ACT but I could never seem to put everything together in one sitting</p>
<p>I forget, do the UC’s do superscores…? @Doener you said it was borderline; do you mean in terms of SAT/ACT scores? Yeah, they’re a little on the lower side (although, actually, mine were very close to that). 10 AP’s is a nice amount, though, and I don’t know if his scores might help his application (if they’re relatively high, 4s and 5s?)</p>
<p>Some things I found interesting about your background, though:
-I always think diverse backgrounds in people are awesome; white, African roots, Jewish? Cool, there might be a story there I wrote one of my essays on my similar-ish diversity in background
-You have a nice balance in the kinds of ECs you do, which is good!
-Happiness for Holidays? What’s that?</p>
<p>The sat score of admitted applicants at ucb is 2034. So you’re around average. I’m guessing half of Berkeley applicants will have similar ec’s and grades. That’s why a good essay will put you over the top. It also depends on the college you’re applying to! CoE and CoC have higher standards for admission.</p>
