<p>sorry for double post, but</p>

<p>i'm an asian male, parents combined income over $100,000, brother already goes to berkeley (no legacy...?)</p>

<p>.........................</p>

4

<p>lol thanks but doesn't really answer my question... :D</p>

5

<p>oops kinda wasn't thinking while writing this. piano was for 12 years this october rofl. XD</p>

6

<p>bump 10 char</p>

7

<p>GPA/Courseload is good, SAT is pretty good (math + verbal). I'd say MIT and CalTech are reaches, but Berkely is a match.</p>

8

<p>In at Berkeley for sure...it's a big stretch for MIT/Caltech, but I'm envying you for being a Cali resident and in at Berk (#2 for engineering) lol. I'd apply to Berkeley if my chances as an NJ applicant weren't next to nil. But you have a good overall profile. Good luck! Chance me back? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/564831-can-you-feel-tension.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/564831-can-you-feel-tension.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

9

<p>BUMP!
i needs moars! and btw, this is for eecs, berkeley's most selective major...lol</p>

10

<p>that ELC rumor is false. Everyone gets the same cap.</p>

<p>Cal - match
caltech - reach
MIT -reach</p>

11

<p>bump</p>

<p>isn't it extremely hard to get into Berkeley's EECS program? I kinda want to study microprocessor CMOS logic circuits (with the corresponding materials science background).</p>

<p>what major should I apply under to maximize the chance of getting in? (for berk, caltech, and MIT?)</p>

12

<p>Wait actually, I am not sure if the ELC rumor is false. I've heard mixed answers now.. so there might be no cap for ELC's</p>

<p>sorry for the misunderstanding</p>

13

<p>Cal - match
caltech - reach
MIT - reach (but it's always one isn't it?)</p>
