<p>What sort of chances do I have at being accepted, considering I am an out-of-state (Iowa) resident?</p>

<p>you're stats are above the berkeley average and i think they make up for your out-of-state status so i would say that you're a match for UC Berk</p>

<p>Your stats are fantastic, but EECS and out of state work against you pretty hard. It could go either way. I wouldn't depend on an acceptance, but it is realistic and very possible.</p>

<p>naw...you're a shoe-in...1490 AND valedictorian? they'd be CRAZY not to take you</p>

<p>where else did u apply?</p>

<p>14somethingish is average for an EECS major matriculant, so not thaat spectacular, but he does have the stats, although being an out of stater is harder.</p>

<p>Slicmlic2001, I've also applied to Stanford EA (deferred), Georgia Tech, and Purude. I've been accepted to Georgia Tech and Purude (my safeties), but I'm anxiously awaiting replies from the two California schools. I chose these universities based on the strength of their computer and electrical engineering departments. Either Berkeley or Stanford would be great, but I am aware of the difficulty that an out-of-state-resident is faced with. Thanks for the input, though.</p>

<p>P.S. Does anyone have any admission statistics for Berkeley EECS other than admission rates? I have been having a tough time finding any information.</p>

<p>Oh thank you h***! ^</p>
