Chances at Berkeley?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am Moroccan (located in northwest africa for those who don't know, and i am not black)
I live in Morocco
sex: male
attend American school (george washington academy)
I am a junior (born september 1994)
By the end of high school i'll have:
3 years of varsity soccer
top 5-10% of my class (not sure which it is)
an approximate 3.9-4.0 high school GPA
about 50 hours of community service
attended 2 model united nations, both as an ambassador (one in morocco, another in italy)
part of the Humanitarian League (raising awareness, in charge of orphanage trip organization and that sort of thing)
4 A.P. courses (french, world history, english, and calculus)
I speak 3 languages (french, english, and arabic)
i just took my first SAT in december and my scores were:
Reading: 620
Math: 640
Writing: 610
i'm sure i will pump up my scores to surpass 2000 once i take it a second time
still haven't taken my subject tests (i will, math & something else, still not sure)
will have very good recommendation letters (i am actually pretty intelligent, not to sound cocky)
major in business (still not sure)</p>

<p>chances at uc-berkeley?
any other schools i could look into?</p>

2

<p>you are a sure thing …</p>

3

<p>Yea i agree your in, did you come from a rich family?</p>

4

<p>You are by no means “in”, you’re an international, you’re held to a higher standard than in-staters, you need a HIGH SAT and better ECs, your ECs are alright.</p>

5

<p>your sat is too low for berkeley. if you pass the 2170 mark you will have a much higher chance getting in. also i would consider you apply as an international relations major and then transfer if you get in. your app fits more of that type of major and plus it will increase your chances.</p>

6

<p>Berkeley costs $50K per year for non-residents, and you will not get any financial aid. Are you and/or your parents prepared to pay $200K for your undergrad?</p>

7

<p>I definitely thing you have really good chances. Make sure you improve your SATs, and write interesting essays,
Best of Luck to you!</p>

<p>Great chance (30-40%) if you’re over 2100 SAT and top 3% or so of your graduating class. If not, under 10%.</p>

<p>I don’t know why a couple of posters above thought that between 5%-10% Class rank and 1900 SAT (or even 2000 SAT) is a Sure Thing. Weird. they must have thought you meant UC Santa Cruz or UC Riverside, to which your stats are a match.</p>

<p>we will all know on March 24th</p>
