<p>based on these factors, what are his chance at uc berkeley right now? (his sat 1 scores are probably holding him back, but what would be need on the sat 1's to be a match or so for berkeley?</p>

<p>The SAT scores are holding him back.. like you said. If I were him, I would hope for a 2000+ on the November test.</p>

<p>Hmm i would say he has a good chance cuz a 4.4 uc gpa definately pulls that 1800+ up</p>

<p>reach.
with those sat's its a reach.
ide say he needs at least high six hundreds on all catergories, so like at least a 2,000</p>

<p>the mean sat score for UCB is around 1300 (M+V) so its not that he doesnt have a chance. rank matters a LOT.</p>
