<p>I’d say you’re pretty set for Berkeley. I wouldn’t bother with another subject test - there isn’t that much emphasis on them at the UCs.</p>

<p>I’m off to COSMOS this summer too; I’m in the chem cluster though. =P</p>

<p>GPA - good
SAT - average, but definitely Berkeley material
SAT II - fantastic
ECs - superb
You’re set for scholarships!</p>

<p>[University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu%5DUniversity”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu) can help you compare your stats with those of admitted freshmen at Berkeley and other UCs.</p>

<p>Berkeley does not have a neuroscience major, but it does have a [cognitive</a> science](<a href=“http://sis.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_view_req?p_dept_cd=COG+SCI]cognitive”>http://sis.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_view_req?p_dept_cd=COG+SCI) major which is somewhat similar to what a neuroscience major is at some other schools.</p>
