<p>Berkeley’s going to be a reach. I don’t think your extracurricular activities will be enough to make up for the GPA/SAT.</p>

3

<p>How high do you think my SAT have to be to make up for the GPA? Thanks for your reply! :)</p>

4

<p>what’s your class rank?</p>

5

<p>2k is the safezone</p>

6

<p>hahahah my class rank is probably top 50% top 75? my school’s kinda really competitive =(</p>

7

<p>Then Berkeley would be super reach for you. </p>

<p>Try USC and some private schools like USC, Santa Clara or Pepperdine. USC’s business program is fantastic too. Of course, not as much as Haas is, but still fantastic.</p>

<p>Your weighted GPA is pretty low compared to Berkeley’s average. I think even with a 2200, the admissions people are going to have to think hard about it. You should check out some of the other UCs like UC Davis, UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara. Their averages are more around your stats.</p>
