Chances at Berkeley/UCLA

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a senior, my weighted gpa is 4.25, I will have finished high school with 16 aps by the end of this year.
W GPA: 4.25
UW GPA: (don't know)
SAT score: 2260
SAT IIs:
chem 770
us 730
math2 800
5s on all the aps except for a history one.
8bs throughout 10th-11th, rest are As
oh, other people seem to be listing their APs, so here are mine: world, euro, us, calc ab, bc, phys c mech + e&m, psych, chem, stat, bio, eng lang, eng lit, gov, econ, envirosci</p>

<p>President, founder of a few clubs and what not through the years, wont bore you with it.
was on california's 2nd best science olympiad team for 2 years, in a high placing speech and debate team with a few awards, varsity tennis for four years, volunteered at a hospital for 200 hours (I want to major in neurobiology), went to COSMOS at UC davis this past summer in an engineering program, math clubs, etc. In a highly gifted magnet program at north hollywood and I'm sure I'm missing some details</p>

<p>I am an east indian who lives in los angeles. I am not aiming for too extravagant an undergrad as I plan to go to medical school, with UCLA and Berkeley being my top two most realistic picks. </p>

<p>Anyhow, does it seem likely that I'll get into either? my counselor scared me about a weak profile but all the other kids from my program go to ivy leagues and what not, so I didn't know how much gravity to take that with. Much appreciated for your insight or prediction</p>

<p>Good shot.</p>

<p>Agreed with hmom. You’re SAT/SATII scores are very very good. Youre UW GPA doesnt seem too great considering you have 8 b’s on your transcript, but it should be counteracted with your test scores since it is a public school. Good luck!</p>

<p>I give you 85% chance with UCLA
90% chance with UCB</p>

<p>You seem to be more UCB type :)</p>

5

<p>Make sure you consider the pre-med track at both schools. I intend to do biology/pre - med track but I always keep in mind whether either school is a good fit and how their pre-medical levels up.</p>

6

<p>word, that’s relieving. thanks for the input guys</p>

7

<p>you went to cosmos this past summer at davis?! cuz i did too…</p>

<p>pm me which cluster
haha</p>

<p>Cal is a good shot. They tend to focus on SATs a bit more there and UCLA a bit more on GPA. UCLA is still a pretty good shot, though. I’d call them both a match.</p>

<p>I think you should have a fairly easy time making it into both. Under the formula, your SAT and SAT IIs make up for your GPA/rank. Your APs show that you were not weak in your classes (hopefully they show they were just hard, rather than that you weren’t trying).</p>

<p>would it be substantially more unlikely for me to get in if I applied to both of them with a bioengineering related major in mind?</p>
