Curious Newbie: What are MY chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm sure you guys have received many many of these questions, but I'm really curious. This question is especially geared towards the UC Berkeley-ers out there. These are my stats so far....</p>

<p>Freshman year: 3.4/3.5
Sophomore Year: 3.5 (weighted w/ one grade bump)/3.8 (weighted w/ 2 grade bumps) Plus 1 AP test (French Language: 3 is my score)</p>

<p>Volunteer: Tutoring after school, Library (3 years), will start hospital work on Monday (interested in medical field)</p>

<p>Work Experience: Library Page since December</p>

<p>That's all I can think of right now, but do I have a chance of UC Berkeley if I raise up my grades in the next two years?</p>

<p>ANY other advice for Berkeley? Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate the time. </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>P.S. I'm of Moroccan origin (in North Africa), so I'm not sure if that counts as a minority when it comes to applying (if I'm correct, UC Berkeley doesn't care about race, right?) because I've heard that only Native Americans, Hispanics, and African Americans count as minorities.</p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>If Morocco is from Africa, I think you count as African American. California schools do not care about race.</p>

<p>So, I guess it would count for minority scholarships as well...</p>

<p>Berkeley wont give a damn if you're African</p>
