<p>hi all, im a senior from los angeles and reaaallllyyyyy want to go to berkeley
i would appreciate any input as to my chances
the apps are in however, i would like to have some realistic expectations and make sure not to set myself up for dissappointment</p>
<p>uc weighted gpa 3.95 (competitive magnet program)
sat i 2230
sat ii bio m 720
sat ii math level 2 800</p>
<p>my essays are decent, my extra currics are good, too
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>...but i have crappy AP scores
and crappy grades (ie instead of millions of Bs i have lots of As and a handful of Cs) and a CRAPPY LOW GPA 3.95 weighted</p>
<p>oh im applying to all of them under the biological sciences major
ucb: molecular and cell bio (MCB, woot)
but i go under the college of letters and sciences or the equiv</p>
