<p>Aren’t UCs for the most part SAT and gpa? The essay and ECs have a little bit of sway, but its mostly numbers right?</p>
<p>sakky, the kid has very strong stats…I think he’d get into Berkeley as Engineering-Undeclared. Do you suggest a better alternative?</p>
<p>rendanator, you’ll select your major choices (I believe 2 - primary and backup) for each campus you apply on the application. You can select different majors for different campuses.</p>
<p>UC looks at a combo of SAT and UC weighted GPA. You’re very strong in both. I feel the essay is the most powerful tool in the UC application…A strong essay is critical. ECs are less important.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, does Berkeley have a decent music program? I’ve been playing trombone for 7 years now and I’d love to keep doing it in college.</p>
