<p>I would really like to know if I have a chance at Berkeley, NYU, UCLA, and Boston University? I want to focus on Economics and I believe I’ve shown my level of passion and commitment for the concept.</p>
<p>Yikes, downward trend. It seems like you’re already in your senior year. I’d say your chances for NYU and BU aren’t all that bad, since a 3.7 is around their averages anyway. For Berkeley and UCLA, it will be harder since they don’t take freshman grades, making your GPA lower. However, you’re at least competent at these schools… none of them are impossible reaches.</p>

<p>ah. I hate to break it to you, but you seem to have a downward trend; but don’t worry, with your EC’s UCLA seems like a match for you. UC Berkeley is kind of a reach considering they do not look at your freshman GPA (which was alright). UC’s (especially Berkeley) are more GPA oriented than EC’s. NYU and Cornell are high reaches if you are out of state. </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
