Final Chances for Berkeley before applying!!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a Senior right now and as college apps are coming my stress level is rising. I really wanna go to cal for BioE (probably applying for Materials Science and Engineering tho) but dont know if i have a chance :(.</p>

<p>SAT score is a 2120 (600cr740m780w), my
ACT is a 33 (36e34m30s30r33w)
GPA is 3.8/4.38 (UW/fully W for UC). </p>

<p>Math 2- 790. Chem - 740. Bio M-790</p>

<p>During soph year, honors pre-cal is a uc approved honors and Juniors Honors English is Uc-approved honors (already checked doorways and school catalog)</p>

<p>Took AP bio, calc ab, chem , stats, ush in soph - jr year (5,5,5,4,4 scores)
taking AP macroecon, calc bc, gov, phys b, english lit this year. Basically all ap's offered except foreign language comp sci and art</p>

<p>Extra curricular wise I have a bunch of "regular stuff": Varsity Swim 4 years, Captain. Varsity XC 2 years, Sectional Qualifier both years. Mock Trial Member, a bunch of tutoring at library and local elementary of underprivileged kids, soup kitchen charity stuff , year round club swim, jr lifeguarding. Math Club President. NHS, CSF </p>

<p>my more important EC's are: Summer internship at Stanford Mechanical Engineering Department developing an inkjet printer that can print proteins. It's pretty legit because im defined as a former lab group member. My work was extensive since it was almost a full length work day (9am-4pm) about 3-4 times a week for pretty much all of summer. </p>

<p>Summer Internship at U of Arizona Biomedical Engineering Department where I helped with a Ph.D's project of analyzing the compatibility of human cells with the electrospun coatings on a stent. Ultimately led to a published Abstract. Wrote about Both of them in my 1st essay and how they helpd develop my love for engineering.2nd essay focuses on stanford and primarily talks on my fear of public speaking and how i overcame it. D. Liepmann read them both</p>

<p>So based on what you see here, what do you guys think? Berkeley is literally my dream school and I really want to get in, but i dont know if i have the chances. Thanks for all the help! ooh and I'm in state and have ELC( not that it matters for Cal :/)</p>

<p>You have a good chance–everything looks good to me. I wouldnt worry about it right now if you are already applying, you will find out soon enough. Dont stress.</p>

<p>i can chance you but answer me first -:</p>

<p>1.Why did the chicken cross the mobius strip?
2. How many physicists does it take to chance a light bulb?</p>

<p>Berkeley: high match
You’re going for a really competitive major, so that GPA might hurt your chances a bit</p>

<p>I would say its a high match to low reach, but leaning on the former. Good luck!! Chance back please!! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1577460-chance-blue-devil-duke-ed-hopeful-receive-chance-return.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1577460-chance-blue-devil-duke-ed-hopeful-receive-chance-return.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>update: got a 34 on act. chances change at all? and im applying materials science and engineering</p>

<p>Still high match/low reach. 33 to 34 doesn’t change much. I’d say probably a high match. Awesome research by the way! Good luck! Chance me back for Carnegie Mellon and Cornell CAS?</p>
