<p>I think you’ve got a great chance at both. They pay close attention to your EC’s so make sure you write about them in your essay. For the math subject test are you doing level 1 or 2 because I think they require level 2.</p>

3

<p>level 2 haha sorry! forgot that detail</p>

4

<p>Match if you’re in state. Low reach from out state</p>

5

<p>im in state</p>

6

<p>Your ECs seem lacking. I’ll say no, or maybe in at one of them.</p>

7

<p>I see the “in state” comment a lot on CC . It does not help to get into the University of California system being “in state”. They are badly in need of out of state revenue and admission requirements are lower for out of state applicants.</p>

8

<p>I think you’ve got a shot at both if you’re in-state.</p>

9

<p>Although it is true that UCs are in need of money and are beginning to accept more out-of-state and international students, it is still easier for an in-state student to get in.
Your ECs are on the lower end of the scale but if you get that SAT up to 2150+, you will probably get accepted. Write a good essay, get that SAT up, and I think your chances are:
Berkeley: 50-60%
UCLA: 70%</p>

<p>Please chance me back!
