What are my chances? I'm worried about the downward trend in GPA and the fact that EECS at berkeley is rumored to as selective as high-tier ivy leagues. </p>
Match. You have very good chances. Your GPA seems fine I see no reason to be worried about that.
I believe the overall acceptance rate for freshman Engineering this past year was about 8%, and one would assume that EECS specifically would be even lower. That said, you have a very competitive resume and are a high income out of state applicant, which is a plus for you. If you did well on your personal statements, you should have a very good chance.
lmao ended up not applying due to being unlikley to receive any aid and 55k being too expensive.
