<p>so what are my chances specifically for berkeley? im applying to hass business school.
And what can i do now, if anything, to increase my chances of acceptance???</p>
<p>How are your SAT IIs? How does your school place in general, and at Berkeley? Do kids with your stats get in, or not? Sometimes? That's one of your best indicators of your chances.</p>
<p>When are you applying? This would help give a timeline and ways which you can improve your chances.</p>
<p>SAT 2's
Chemistry 640
Math 2C 730</p>
<p>my school is very very competitive, i believe last year 6 students went to Berkeley, 8 Ucla, 1 student got into Upenn, and a bunch of students got into top notch colleges all over US (we had no harvard, yale,princeton)</p>
<p>i have already applied, deadline for UC application was Nov 30.
i dont know if people with my stats get in, i hope so
also i am ranked top 20 out of 764 in my school</p>
<p>I'd say your chances are fairly good, but not assured. As to what you can do, I'd say wait. Oh, and enjoy life. :)</p>
<p>Sonicpwr- I am in a very similar place (good GPA, ELC, and "low" SAT scores). I wish you the best of luck! :)</p>
<p>the uc caps gpas at 4.2</p>
<p>how do u have a 4.4 uc gpa?</p>
<p>i dunno it says 4.4 on my transcript, also people in my school have Gpa's higher then mine, highest is 4.5, i think the maximum UC GPA is 4.5</p>
<p>The only way to get a 4.4 UC GPA is to have a 4.4 UC GPA is to have 20 semesters of classes in 10th and 11th grade with 8 semesters of honors/AP and get all A's. You can't have any more than 20 semesters.</p>
<p>i got 2 B+'s. Both in Honors World History. teacher wouldnt give A's to anyone.</p>
<p>Mathematically impossible to get 4.4 UC GPA with 2 B's unless you only had around 4 classes each year.</p>
<p>i dunno how it is 4.4, tats what my transcript says</p>
<p>Your transcript and what UCs calculate your GPA to be are two different things. First of all, not all honors at your school are honors to UC standards. Like, math up to pre calc, and english for example. Also, UC caps honors at 8 semesters of honors/AP. There is a difference between fully weighted and UC GPA. For me, it's like .25 for example.</p>
<p>your SAT score might hurt ya a little bit...</p>
<p>Sophomore year: 4.6 (4 semesters of honors, 4 semesters of AP)
Junior year: 4.8 (10 semesters of AP)</p>
<p>I don't see why it's so impossible...</p>
<p>The highest GPA count would be 4.5 according to UC's, a result of straight A's in 16 semesters, which consists of 8 semesters of AP/Honors. Assuming he gets all A's, he would have a 4.5. But since he didn't get all A's and has had more than 16 semesters, his UC weighted GPA would not be near 4.5 at all. I think it should be somewhere around 4.2-4.33.</p>
<p>wel then if its really a 4.2-4.2 and 1950 SAT do i have a pretty decent shot?</p>
<p>the Writing and CR score will be a negative, unless you have some sort of hook, i.e., first gen to go to college, low income, etc. Since you you attend a competitive HS, adcoms will assume a better than average english dept, and, thus, desire to see better than average CR and W scores.</p>
