<p>why is this a double post? Didn't you ask the same question in this thread yesterday? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/526961-help-help.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/526961-help-help.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You can just bump up the older thread by creating a new post in the old one instead starting one from scratch. Most people just type "bump 10 char" to have the thread appear at the top.</p>

<p>as for answering you post...</p>

<p>NYU should be a safety for you. UPenn would be a reach but I think you have a chance.</p>

<p>Your current GPA helps for all the schools you're applying to, but the SAT scores could use a boost. For Berkeley you should try to have scores higher than the median SAT scores since you're out of state. If you can boost your highest-sitting score by ~60-100 points I'd say you'd have a fair shot for Berkeley. GPA and extracirriculars are strong atm, just work on maintaining your grades and prep for more SATs and you should be well prepared for applying.</p>

<p>I'm also assuming you're going to be a senior?</p>
