<p>I think Berkeley will be a reach. How about USC or Babson (entrepreneur/international), or the other UCs?</p>

<p>i can research them, but what can i do this summer and school year that will improve my chances?</p>

<p>School year - Improve GPA
Summer - Study for ACT/SAT and retake it and raise your scores (big one)</p>

<p>kk. i retook my ACt in june and am confident i got at least a composite score of 31, and i wish to take it again. How do you weight your gpa?</p>

<p>For Berkeley, check their site. I think all the UC webpages tell you how to calculate your GPA via the UC GPA system.</p>

<p>Just remember that the UCs are expensive for OOS students. Don't expect much financial aid either!</p>

<p>For UCs, you just calculate your GPA for sophomore and junior years-- don't include freshman or senior year.</p>
