<p>-Ok, well, according to the way I calculated by UC GPA ( A= 4, B=3, C=2...), I have a 3.83.</p>
<p>-My weighted GPA (adding 1 point/ semester for honors classes), was 4.16</p>
<p>-I expect a 2100+ on the SAT.</p>

<p>So, do I have a chance at Berkeley? Both ED and RD please. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>There is a chances thread stickied above.</p>
<p>Berkeley does not have ED, or any early program for that matter -- only RD.</p>
<p>Are you in-state or out-of-state? Either way, I would say it's a reach. If your UC GPA really is 3.83, then it's quite a bit below average for Berkeley (only UC-approved honors courses get extra weight). Your ECs aren't quite up to par for Berkeley.</p>
<p>Kyle, thanks for your thruthiness. But, by UC weighted GPA is 4.16, not 3.83. Thats the UW one (but calculated by the way Berkeley does it).</p>
<p>What's this?</p>
<p>Thats with freshman year (in which I did the worst) and calculated the way my school does it, not the way UCs do it.</p>
<p>Your unweighted GPA or 3.83 is still below Berkeley's avg. SATs are avg. ECs are below avg. I'd say it's a reach, prob a match if your essays are awesome.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks guys.</p>
<p>gpa is right on average. sats if you get 2100+ will be above average since berk avg is just a tad above 2000. ECs...its alright. if you can pitch it really well then youll be fine. and this is assuming your in state. if your outta state then its a reach</p>
<p>GPA is NOT right on average. The average UC GPA for Cal is 4.2, while he only has a 3.8. I say no.</p>
<p>I got in with 3.5/3.7, so from my perspective, you definitely have a chance. Work hard on those essays. :)</p>
<p>i think your weighted gpa is a match. work hard towards 2200+. Ecs and essay for ucs don't really mean much. sat is much much more important.</p>

<p>Well, you can't really make a generalization based on one case (that case being your own).</p>

<p>Weighted GPA and UC GPA are not the same (weighted is usually higher, unless the person did not exceed the 8-semester cap). Berkeley's average UC GPA is 4.25 (or so), which is higher than the OP's W GPA.</p>
<p>His question, "So, do I have a chance at Berkeley?", is extremely vague, so I give him a vague answer, "yes".</p>
<p>OMG HE HAS A 4.16 WHEN THE AVERAGE IS 4.2 = INSTANT REJECTIOn</p>

<p>Obviously, I don't think that's the correct UC GPA. If that's the W GPA, then the UC GPA will be even lower. And UW is 3.5 -- the average UW GPA for Berkeley is 3.9. See the difference now? (I thought that was understood when I said, "Berkeley's average UC GPA is 4.25 (or so), which is higher than the OP's W GPA.")</p>
<p>He said his UC GPA is 4.16. Because the average is 4.25 isn't going to make a difference.</p>
<p>Berkeley's avg. SAT for this year's frosh class was a 2070, and GPA was a 3.93.</p>

<p>What is so difficult to understand about what I'm saying? I do not think the UC GPA is correct. From the other thread, the GPA is a bit too low.</p>
<p>i think it is reasonable to say that uc gpa and the weighted gpa for 10-11 are about the same...</p>
<p>why do you expect 2100+ when you guys have 2200???</p>
