<p>i know the test scores hurt but what do you think</p>

2

<p>anyone? noone?</p>

3

<p>Out of staters get totally screwed from what I've heard. I'd say your chances are loww....</p>

4

<p>it is tough for out of state, but your stats look good; it will depend on essays, which Berkeley does read</p>

5

<p>it's very tough for out of state, you usually need like 1450+ Sat i and 730+ sat ii to get in, but you have great ECs, and if your essays are great, i think you'll be able to get in.</p>

6

<p>problem is my sat2s suck ass so im screwed on that</p>

7

<p>sat2s matter more than the sat</p>

8

<p>i'd say u have a slimly fair chance for engineering</p>

9

<p>basically what everyone is saying is: dont bother. the uc system doesnt like out of state students.</p>

10

<p>rank is good but ur SAT scores arent at its prime. id say rejected 90%.</p>

11

<p>Man, too bad the UC's didn't like grant faster California citizenship for those who move here wanting to go to a UC. Who knows... do they?</p>

<p>Don't people who are the first family member attending college get in easier?</p>
