<p>Pretty good chance, hopefully your essays reflected all you did. I believe they review “based on the context of your background” and that may be good thing if you are a questbridge finalist. You didn’t apply early anywhere else? Noticed you said you are Tawianese. If you are international student in the US, then not sure if the pool is any different.</p>
<p>You’re about what the ideal applicant looks like for Berkeley, so I’d say you’re in. Happy holidays!</p>
<p>I believe SAT subject scores (math/physics) are required for Engineering majors. If you have mid-700s in those, believe you would be a solid candidate.
