I think I might have done myself in... (Chance Me)

[amin196]

<p>So I applied to Chemistry at Berkeley, but I just found out Chem in L&S is much easier to get into than Chem at CoC...</p>

<p>Here are my stats (yes, they're a bit low compared to most people here on CC, but students at my school in previous years have gotten into Cal with lower stats):</p>

<p>Academics:
Cumulative GPA: 3.8 (Weighted 4.2)
Class Rank: 2/200
SAT: 1860 (CR 630, M 570, CW 660, Essay 10)
I have also taken three classes at a local community college (Intro to Psych, Chemical Calculations, and Trigonometry) (GPA 4.0).</p>

<p>EC:
Tutored for School District (100+ Hours)
Interned at a Hospital (170+ Hours)
Volunteered at local library (30+ Hours)
Student Senate (2 years)
Principals Advisory Committee (1 year)</p>

<p>I am also a first generation college student, coming from a low income family. </p>

<p>I also did a supplemental application.</p>

<p>your sat score could be stronger but beside that i think you have a REALLY solid shot of getting admitted because of your rank, gpa, and ecs, which can def. override your score (because frankly, your score is not that bad at all).</p>

<p>You have a shot…but I really think that SAT score is really hard to look over. You did get the supplement though, which is certainly a good thing! Good luck, and relax (as hard as it may be)…not much you can do anymore now, is there? You’ll hear back from the actual adcoms in a little bit.</p>
