<p>in at all. y not consider uc berkeley?</p>

<p>dunno. didn’t really like the atmosphere when i went to visit.</p>

<p>I’m guessing you are ELC status as well?
In at all, but I’d probably recommend you to take the SAT just to be safe.</p>

<p>In at all. I would highly suggest applying for UCB just for more options. No need to even retake the SAT unless you feel you want to apply for some better schools, ie Stanford (which I feel you have a good shot at). Nice work and congrats, you can rest easy.</p>
