Hi guys,
I am an incoming senior in high school who really wants to go to UC Berkeley for L&S Computer Science next year. So far, I have a 4.0 Unweighted GPA and a 4.5 Weighted GPA. However, what bugs me is my SAT score. I have a 2200 composite score (650 English, 770 Math, 780 Writing). Will my score be good enough?
the average berkeley admit sat score is under 2100
You would be applying for frosh admission to L&S undeclared. To get into L&S CS, you need to take the prerequisite courses CS 61A, 61B, 70 and earn a 3.30 GPA in them.

You have good stats and if you have the EC’s and essays to match you have a good chance.
As @ucbalumnus noted you can indicate an intended major in L&S but will have to complete the prerequisites with a minimum GPA to petition to declare the major.
@LeReddit The overall is above 2100. The average in-state admit had a 3.91UW and 2075 SAT. The average out-of-state admit had a 3.94UW and 2237.
