<p>Your GPA and SAT scores look good, especially when looking at the averages UCLA puts out (I know you want chancing for Berkeley but admission standards are probably similar). You have a lot of EC’s but it does’t look like you specialized or really were dedicated to them; furthermore, I don’t see any leadership positions. Do you have any EC leadership or awards? With good essays I think you have a nice chance. It is harder to get in out of state though. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response, defiantly making me feel a little less nervous(I was expecting to be told to not even apply). Unfortunately, most of the clubs I am involved with don’t have leadership positions for me to take, even if i wanted to take them. Acting has been the EC I’ve spent the most time on, but there aren’t really positions in leadership when acting in a show. Our math team did win our region and went to state, which I forgot to mention here. Thanks again</p>
