<p>I want to attend UCB as well and we have similar stats so hopefully when I say that you may have a chance at getting in, I will as well! Except I don’t have the advantage of being a CA resident… but good luck! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1358442-chance-me-ucs-ut-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1358442-chance-me-ucs-ut-please.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think you have a solid chance. I am an incoming freshman to UCB (starting in August!)
Your test scores are a bit higher than mine. However, I think you’re a bit on the light side with activities. Not extremely, but it might be your weaker area. You’ve got good volunteer activities. They don’t take AP scores into consideration for admissions, it’s just for exemption purposes for if they admit you. I think if you have great essays then you’ll be well-rounded enough to have a great chance. Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions.</p>
