<p>You have a very good shot to get into Berkeley. Definitely raise those SAT scores and maybe do some more community service since that area is the least developed of your EC's</p>

3

<p>I'm no expert, but I think your chances are good. I got in with stats similar to yours except I had a better GPA but less community service.</p>

4

<p>Surfer? = you're in.</p>

<p>Seriously, you're well rounded, eclectic (quirky) and have great stats. And I'm serious about the surfer hook.</p>

<p>Being good at a sport among your school doesn't count worth crap. Especially a school as small as yours. League champs, Junior Olympians, Nationals, Worlds - those are worth something.</p>

<p>They count even less especially considering that you can't spell the name of that sport properly.</p>

<p>Don't include it, it looks kinda pompous.</p>
