<p>Hey guys, Im planning to apply to UC berkeley for their electrical engineering and computer science program (EECS)</p>

<p>gpa: 3.67 </p>

<p>weighted gpa: 4.41 </p>

<p>SAT math: 790
SAT Reading: 720
SAT Writing: 700</p>

<p>ACT: 34</p>

<p>SAT Math: 800
SAT Physics: 800
SAT Chemistry: 800
SAT History: 710</p>

<p>My junior yr courseload involved 5 AP's and I got A's in all of them, and only B in junior year was in French</p>

<p>and im going to keep the EC's short </p>

<p>senior position in a bioresearch club (team published 2 clones)
president of volunteer club
2 medals in mathematics (one in state level and the other at regionals)
JV track
120+ volunteer hours
Physics award for being top 10% in NJ science league
and a few other activities and clubs</p>

<p>Biggest hook I guess would be that I worked on a physics project at a University abroad with people applying for PhD's</p>

<hr>

<p>So do I have a really good chance at UC berkeley?</p>

<p>where else do I have a good shot at?</p>

<p>Thanks everyone</p>

<p>oooo shiny SAT II’s make me happy :smiley: </p>

<p>2210 is legit and 34 is again very pretty to behold. what is your ucgpa? </p>

<p>we are accepting a lot of extra out of staters so i’d say your odds are very good all things considered. good luck!</p>

<p>are senior yr grades counted into the UC gpa?</p>

<p>Well, if I get all A’s senior yr for first semester, then UC gpa is 4.44</p>

<p>also i go to a high school in new jersey, but im considered an international student since im not a permanent resident</p>

<p>will this seriously affect my chances?</p>

4

<p>yes it will make it harder</p>

5

<p>I’d say the only things counting against you is your unweighted GPA, while your average ECs don’t help or hurt your chances. However, everything else is great and will probably be enough to get you accepted (in Berkeley admissions anyways).</p>

6

<p>im going to be honest</p>

<p>but ur chances for berkeley engineering are very very slim</p>

<p>your gpa, SAt score, and especially EC’s are not adequate for berkeley engineering</p>

<p>perhaps retake SAT/ACT?</p>

<p>do people agree with my opinion?</p>

7

<p>I’m not impressed.</p>

<p>caiacs is rarely impressed. if you had to get his vote to get into cal, cal would accept like 5 people per year. don’t let it discourage it. int’l admissions are harder than OoS, but i mean, you should still apply… do your best…</p>

9

<p>Yeah, don’t listen to Frenchcoaster365 or Caiacs. Your GPA is low, but I’ve seen people with lower grades get into the College of Engineering before. You have a shot.</p>

<p>how is a 34 ACT not good enough for engineering? your test scores are fine, it is your GPA i’m worried about</p>
