<p>Berkeley doesn't take recommendations. You look pretty good for in-state. I think the best way to chance yourself is to take a look at the graduating class from your school from the year before. If people in your GPA range got in last year, you probably will too.</p>

3

<p>That looks as close to a sure thing as you'll ever get, in my humble opinion.</p>

4

<p>If your UW GPA stays a 4.0, you'll get in easily with a 2000+ SAT. Don't worry.</p>

<p>Although I agree with you, Castel, that she has a very good chance of getting in, it's not for certain, there are many exceptions I know three people who got in to UCLA and UCB with 1600 SAT and 4.5+ GPAs, but I also know Tennis Captain with 2000+ SAT and 4.4+ GPA that didn't get into UCLA and UCB. I believe it's more about how you present yourself as a whole, and not just academics, this is where the essay plays a big part.
Edit: You will probably get in, being president of ASB will give you some good brownie points.</p>

6

<p>What state?</p>

<p>I think you'd probably be in either way, though.</p>

7

<p>@kncool: No no, there's a BIG difference between 4.4 W GPA and 4.0 UW GPA.</p>

<p>4.0 UW GPA >>>>> 4.4 W GPA. But yeah, I agree that it's how you present yourself as a whole.</p>

<p>I go to a medium sized Public School in the Florida Keys</p>

9

<p>Not for certain OOS. Decent shot.</p>

10

<p>oos? That hurts. You still have a pretty good shot, but not guaranteed.</p>
