<p>I am also looking at UCLA, USC, Brown, Rice, and others of this tier... Berkeley is kinda my dream, but I need to know if it's really just a pipe-dream. I plan on majoring in computer science.</p>
<p>Here's all my stuff</p>
<p>SAT: 690's all around = 2070
ACT: 33 composite 11 writing</p>
<p>GPA (uw): 3.7
GPA (w): 4.1
I have improved my gpa(uw and w) significantly every year
got a B/C in spanish 2 which kinda screwed me I think... teacher was not my favorite person</p>
<p>AP's:
Euro (5)
US (3)
Art History (4)
Composition (5)
Lit (this year)
Computer Science (this year)
Govt (this year)
Environmental Science (this year)</p>
<p>I go to a pretty competitive high school which might matter
I'm german and upper middle class so no affirmative action for me</p>
<p>EC:
I play water polo for 25-30 hours a week... every week... all year
Swim during swim season, and am on varsity for both sports (sadly not good enough to be recruited to DI schools, but I might play club)
Done a few mission trips that I'm including in my essay.
I used to be very involved in my church leadership and such, but I've decided on atheism so I don't do any of that anymore... should I still mention that?</p>
<p>Kinda betting on my ACT score... my IQ is 130-something so I like to think I'm smart, just wish I'd have turned on the academic gas sooner so this wasn't so stressful :/</p>
