<p>I just finished my junior year in high school and will be applying for the university class of 2015. (Major in either Business, Computer Engineering, or both)
Extracurriculars:
Three years of trading in the stock market
3 years as a referee for soccer games in my city (job)
4 years of tennis for my high school team.
Academics:
Weighted GPA of 4.54, Unweighted 3.79, and UC GPA 4.125.
SAT 2050 (I plan on retaking and am confident I can do at least 2100)
ACT haven't taken it yet, expecting 32-34
SAT subjects: Math II 760, Chemistry 720.
AP Euro Exam: 3 (first time taking an AP test, was a bit surprised)
AP Chemistry: 3
AP Statistics: 5
AP Psychology: 5
AP Physics/Calc BC/Econ/Lit haven't taken yet.
In my freshman year I had 3 honors, in my sophomore year I had 3 honors and an AP, in my junior year I had 3 AP's and 2 honors, and next year I plan on having 4 AP's and another language (Chinese 1, after 3 years of French) (all years had a max of 6 classes). My grades started low and went upward from there, so I could include when applying that it was a general motivation for success that lifted my grades gradually.My school is relatively weak in academics so I'm in about the top 6%.
Community Service Hours: 45 out of a requirement of 40.
As for the personal statement, I'm fairly confident that I can write well because I'm particularly good at connecting with people. What are my chances? Thanks!!!</p>
<p>You have good chances, but your not a competitive applicant relative to the average stats for Freshmen at Berkeley. You have a high weighted GPA, but your unweighted GPA is below the average (3.89) and your UC GPA is at the average (4.1). Your SAT is a little below the average (2077).</p>
<p>My best recommendations would be to take 5 or even 6 AP classes in your senior year, to really show your committed to challenging yourself in your academic rigor, to make up for the lower UW GPA. Also, you should really shoot for at least 2150 on your SAT, to have a good competitive stance. </p>
<p>Also you need to list any awards you might have received while in high school, and identify leadership roles in your EC’s.</p>
<p>Much appreciated!</p>
