<p>i posted similar posts before but no one replied me. guess i posted them in the wrong place..</p>
<p>so i am applying to berkeley this year and i really want to get into its engineering school...some people told me that i could get in because i am an international student and some said that its impossible because my GPA is low and the courses i am taking do not really focus on science that much (i wanna double major in college so my courses are covering a lot of fields including arts, math, history and science..)</p>
<p>so im a boarding student in a private school on the east coast. my TOEFL score is 119. SAT superscore 2110. biology SAT II 760 and math II SAT 780. </p>
<p>took 4 APs in junior year: AP US history (4) AP Biology (5) AP Calculus (5) AP Stats (5)
and taking 3 APs in senior year: AP Art History AP Physics AP Psychology
and also multivariable calculs and Honors Art Studio </p>
<p>my school doesn't weight our GPA so my GPA is really really low...3.56. but i calculated A-G scale GPA. 4.1~4.2</p>
<p>so im just wondering if any past female applicants could chance me.. or at least tell me if you had the same background getting into berkeley. i dont know if being a female applicant is an advantage or a disadvantage.. and being an international student kinda puts me into an awkward situation since i actually study here.</p>
<p>my courses don't really show that i am interested in engineering but i really am.. how much does it really matter about the courses you are taking in high school???</p>
<p>i applied industrial engineering. is it hard to get in??</p>
<p>THANX SO MUCH!!</p>
