<p>Unfortunately EECS is one of the hardest fields to get into. Your chance of being accepted isn't very high</p>

<p>no kidding 8% or lower acceptance rate (eww)... I hate that. But the thing is, you really can't tell with Berkeley sometimes. Studies have shown that poor students with 900 combined on their SAT I's have gotten into Berkeley. However, I don't know how many of those types of students made it into EECS. In one of my essays I talked about my struggle to recover from neurological problems. WOuld this increase my chances?</p>

<p>Most colleges won't look at problems like that. So it can't help or hurt you. I'm going to have to say that chances are slim over all because its hard to get into Berkeley and its even harder to get into the EECS as fdasdf mentioned.</p>
