<p>High school gpa doesn’t matter.
You’re at a disadvantage simply because you don’t go to a california cc and first priority is given to them. Also, being male is not a hook haha</p>
<p>Thanks for the input…I know being from PA probably kills my chances :/</p>
<p>It lowers your chances, but I wouldn’t say it kills them. Berkeley’s generally unpredictable when it comes to admissions, especially for out of state. Honestly, I don’t think anyone here knows how to chance OoS… just have to try it and see.</p>
<p>Also, I know you’re out of state, but try and complete your major’s pre-reqs. Take a look at assist.org for an idea of what’s expected, though you’ll have to guess at the articulations.</p>
<p>And I’d imagine you’ve figured this out already, but OoS tuition here is really expensive… I think an extra $20,000 a year ontop of instate? Just something to keep in mind when applying, since not everyone notices the cost at first.</p>
