How difficult will it be for me to get into UC Berkeley?

<p>I'm a US citizen currently in high school in india and i was wondering if I'm eligible for UC Berkeley..
I'm an OOS citizen
My SAT score was 2260
I plan on doing subject tests in physics and maths and am expecting above 750 in both
My grades aren't phenomenal but they're significantly above average.
I'm the treasurer of my school's interact club but i do not have any strong extra curriculars</p>

<p>I know this looks pretty shabby for someone hoping to go to Berkeley, but i want an idea of exactly how out of reach it is and what more i need to do to increase my chances of being accepted.
thanks</p>

<p>You sound qualified if grades are strong. The big issue is whether you can afford the $50K plus it will cost for probably 5 years to get out–more than Harvard and Harvard gives aid.</p>

<p>It’s easier to get in if your in state. I had 2100 SAT I was in state I had shabby ec’s just like you and my grades were above average just like you. I didn’t take any subject tests. My only hook was I was in state.</p>

<p>You got into a UC without subject tests? How is that?

<p>^^ Ok, dylandlima, I see you are a freshman in high school, living in Texas, who will be 14 soon? Or maybe that wasn’t true either? Why would you post that? You didn’t actually say you got in to Cal, but still…</p>

<p>What school would you be applying to? And I agree with Redroses, the state of CA isn’t doing so well, and neither are the UCs.</p>
