<p>what are my chances at uc berkeley</p>
<p>fall 2009 accepted average- 4.15 uc, 3.91 unweighted, 4.33 weighted , 30 act (Just FYI)</p>
<p>inteneded major- integrative biology
alternate major- undeclared </p>
<p>the ultimate question is that can my act score which is 3 point above average, great extracurriculars, and good heart felt personal statements make up for my gpa being .4 pts. below?</p>
