<p>I really want chances on Berkeley Engineering (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) so if you guys could focus upon that if anything else. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Congratulations on all your outstanding accomplishments in high school. Nice job with the awards and test scores.</p>

<p>Considering all of this, you have a pretty good shot at UCB EECS. Many people are accepted every year with lower qualifications than you. Assuming that your essays are excellent, you are a match.</p>

<p>Rest of the UCs-match
Duke, Cornell, Northwestern, Mellon-match
Caltech/Stanford-slight reach to reach</p>
