<p>Holy crap…I would be VERY surprised, let’s just say, if you didn’t get in.</p>

3

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, why do you say that? Because a lot of my peers have higher grades then me.</p>

4

<p>I mean, regardless of the fact that some of your peers may have higher grades than you (and they’d definitely get into UCB, too, if that’s the case…), you can’t deny your involvement in all those AP/IB/Honors classes, all of those extracurricular clubs you’re been in for <em>years</em>, both in and out of school, and not to mention the leadership you’ve shown in those clubs and the recognition you’ve gotten in terms of awards…</p>

5

<p>i understand…thank you! :D</p>

6

<p>Well, considering I got in with a 4.3 and less than half the extracurriculars you have… I’d say you have a pretty high chance of getting in.</p>

7

<p>I think you have a good shot, just learn how to spell “Berkeley” correctly ;)</p>

8

<p>I’m pretty sure there aren’t enough hours in a day for you to have that resume. But if somehow all of that is true your in with a full ride to Berkeley easily</p>

9

<p>I’m just wondering, why did you take so many SAT subject tests?</p>

10

<p>Haha nice bump…but I’m curious as well.</p>

<p>Anyway, you realize you can only list 5 ECs on your app?</p>
