i havent had any significant hardships or any traumatic experiences, essays are all about plans for college major, my culture, and a special experience
i did lotsa stuff over the summer, too. programs and classes and whatnot
plus, i indicated that berkeley was my 'first-choice university' for national merit semifinalist, and even though this year berkeley stops giving money for it, i didn't care, i just wanted them to know that they are #1 for me</p>

<p>If kids from your school do well at UCB, you're chances look fairly good, especially if they like your essays. The same is true for the other UCs-and, if you get into UCB and UCLA, chances are you're getting into the other UC's, too, unless you applied under more difficult majors or something, and UCSD has their policy which you can read about on the UC general forum or UCSD forum. If your school does well, I'd say your chances are pretty good. How is your unweighted GPA?</p>

<p>unweighted it's like... 3.6 flat
and yeah, my school sends a lot of kids to the ucs, berkeley in particular. last year we had like 12 and the year before it was 8. and we're a tiny program, the biggest each grade gets is 90.
thank you!</p>

<p>ahh i feel SO insecure about berkeley</p>

<p>Are the kids that end up going about your height in the class rank? If so, that's good. If not, that's a negative sign, but not a tell-all factor.</p>
