i am graduating a year early from a highschool, which doesn’t offer AP classes but it integrates college classes into your high school schedule. i’m 16 and i have about 20 credits done, mostly upper level math. i have been involved in a few clubs all three years and have joined a few more recently for my last year. i volunteer with three different programs now that average about 4 hours of community service per week. i have about a 4.2-4.3 gpa and i haven’t taken the SATs yet but the last PSAT i took i didn’t take that seriously (oops) but i got about an 1130 (on the new scale). i’m expecting to improve to about a 1300 at least hopefully a 1400. Do i have what it takes to get into Berkeley even thought i have a year less of volunteering and classes than most students? i’m worried because my highschool doesn’t offer AP classes. thank you!
to specify they are community college courses and many of the classes are non transferable. does it still reflect well on me?
I am more hopeful for you after you spelled Berkeley correctly the second time
UC GPA? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

You will not be disadvantaged for not having AP classes your school does not offer. CCC courses will make up for that and will be part of your HS GPA. If they are Math courses, they should be UC transferable unless you are not in-state?
Also, without a solid SAT score, it is impossible to give you an idea of your chances. Repost once you have your scores.
Good luck.
Are you registered for the October sat? Plan to take the sat in November and December (if you’re registered for October, make one of these twoba subject test date, Hitch will allow you to apply to more universities.)
You’ll need those scores to apply.
Don’t bank it all on UCB. I assume you’re a CA resident but without a test score it’s impossible for us to know whether you have a shot.
1130 won’t cut it for Berkeley and 1300 is dicey, especially since you’re already at a disadvantage by graduating early.
You’ll indeed have fewer classes than many - even if you have all your a-g classes (did you check? It’s different from high school graduation requirements)… and UC admissions, while holistic, aren’t as personalized as private universities’.
You need to start preparing for the sat seriously NOW. Use khan academy and prep books from our school or town library.
Apply to ucsb ccs/math to continue advanced studies in math. Apply to HarveyMudd or Pomona for the same reason, but only if you get 1400+ on the sat.
Select several UC’s, too, and a couple CSU’s with good math programs.
Have you discussed budget with your parents? Do you know their efc?
