Chance Me? (Stanford, Berkeley, Ivies)

From the Regents and scholarship website:

If you are receiving the honorary amount of $2,500, there will be no adjustment to your Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship. If you are receiving a need-based amount, outside agency awards are applied toward your gross financial need and may require the campus to reduce the amount of your Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship.

Most of the scholarships do run about $2500.

Since you are a competitive applicant, you may be accepted, but you need to know that the California competition will be tough. Not trying to be harsh, but your EC’s are “generic” and the California kids tend to have the"home" advantage.
Talk to your parents about costs. Ask them what they have saved for you. Many Asian parents have a 529 account for their children. If you really want to go to Berkeley, and can get in, ask your parents what they are willing to pay.
