***ECs are nothing special, pretty much my weakness in terms of UCB admission

Can your parents afford full pay tuition at Berkeley? No financial aid for intl and out of sate students. OOS tuition is about $45,000/year.
Hi, I’m a Canadian that also applied to UCB for Computer Science this year:
Our stats are pretty much identical; I had a 95% average overall through high school (which hilariously translates into a 4.0 UW GPA) and my SAT score was also 2300! I got a 770 on Math II and a 700 on French with Listening.
I also had meh ECs, the best two I had were the MUNK program at UofT and I coded and released my own iPhone app.
I didn’t get into UCB, however I was accepted to UCLA (UCB is statistically just 1% more selective than UCLA). Just for reference, I believe both CS and Chem Eng might be impacted majors…?
College admissions are usually a crapshoot, so although I believe you have a very competitive application for Berkeley there’s always a chance it might not work out due to the holistic application review process.
However, if you maintain your grades you will without a doubt get into UBC, McGill, SFU, and UofT. I was accepted to all Canadian universities that I applied to.
I wish you the best of luck.
hi! im a Canadian resident, but currently doing high school in India (CBSE) ,I want to do college at a top Canadian University, such as UBC U ofT or mcgill. i plan on studying computer engineering… my grade 9 and 10 marks are
Grade 10-CGPA 9.2/10
math B1
science A2
Social studies A2
English A1
French A1
Grade 9-CGPA 8.8/10
Math B2
science A2
social studies A2
French A2
English A2
mu grade 11 mark’s are pretty low, but as per all there websites they dont require them. Am i overly ambitious or are any of these Universities in my reach? pls help, and thnks in advance! 
@superMIC Thanks so much for your reply! I think chem & cs are definetely more selective to get into, and I’m currently debating whether to apply to an easier major in the college of letters and science. UCLA & Canadian universities are fine by me though, so I’m glad those are somewhat solid
@jmathew034 Grade 9 & 10 marks dont affect admission, so you’ll have to see whether your 11/12 marks pull you up. UT & Mcgill both look primarily at grades, but their requirements aren’t ridiculously high either. If you have around a 93% avg, I think you’ll be fine ( this is from friends who got admitted into UT/ McGill this year)
