MY chances of getting into Berkely or UCLA?

<p>You'll need:</p>

<p>GPA > 4.1
SAT I > 2000</p>

<p>But again, last year, SAT was not considered.
Write good essays, hopefully you have decent APs.
Your leadership is fine.</p>

<p>UCSD: Match
UCLA: Slight Reach
Berkeley: Reach</p>

<p>"UCLA and Berkely's average GPA for entering freshmen is 4.25"</p>

<p>UCLA's average is not 4.25. it is 4.12 which is still high, but not near as high as 4.25. UCSD's average is 4.04. I believe Berkeley's average is around 4.18.</p>

<p>The 4.25 GPA figure is the fully-weighted GPA of UCLA admits.
The 4.12 GPA figure is the capped UC GPA of UCLA admits. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>living in california gives you a big advantage
a lot of the people i know from my school in san francisco, got into UCB and UCLA with worse stats.</p>

<p>but, i wouldn't advise you to apply UCB engineering.. then your chances seem to be low</p>

<p>maybe you should go for undeclared</p>

<p>Well I'm not applying to the college of engineering at Berkeley, I've read chem engineer majors have to go to the college of chemistry. I dunno if that makes any easier, but I've also read on the website that people who apply to the college of chemistry have an easier chance of getting in. But yea, I can only hope for a miracle to get into the college of engineering at UCLA. My friend told me once that I might have an advantage because I'm Latino, a minority, I dunno if that applies to anything but I laughed</p>

<p>Oh and my friends at my school say people who are undeclared will have a greater chance of getting into UCLA, but it's viceversa for UCB</p>

<p>Well I dunno, if you think the school's website's information is wrong then go ahead and correct them. I'm just looking at what I read.</p>
