hi, I’m in my senior year and am having the constant thought in the back of my head that i haven’t done enough to get into the school of my dreams(berkeley). I have always wanted to go here my since freshman year to study computer science, and after reading my applications have this nagging feeling in the back of my head that I am missing something. Can I have any second opinions on my odds of getting in?
P.s. I’m also out of state from northern virginia. How much harder is it for an out of state student?
Grades(soph year): 3APs 3 honors 1 regular - 1 B the rest are As
(Junior year):5 AP(one is technically not an AP but has an AP prerequisite and gets the 1.0 boost) 3 honors - 2 A minuses.
SAT 1500 (but doesn’t matter atm)
ECs:
-VP of science Olympiad
-Fbi internship
-FIRST robotics competetion(got designer award for best design for rookie team)- and lead code designer
- got 2nd in regional piano competition
- Freshman rowing state champion
- Started up a computer science team last year.
Can you afford full pay at $65K/year to attend? UC’s offer little to no financial aid for OOS students.
UC GPA’s? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
Post all 3 UC GPA’s since they are all considered. Also UC’s are test blind this admission cycle unless something changes so your chances will be heavily dependent upon your GPA.
As an OOS applicant, only AP/IB courses taken 10-11th will qualify for the extra weighting in the UC calculation.
OOS applicant admit rate: 16.5% vs 11.8% instate but this is also due to the fact that less admitted OOS students will matriculate due to costs.
2019 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 capped weighted and not major specific:
UCB: 12%
2019 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 4.20 or above capped weighted and not major specific:
UCB: 38%
**2020 UC capped weighted GPA averages along with 25th-75th percentile range: **
UCB: 4.22 (4.13-4.30)
Thanks, those stats are slightly encouraging. And yes, I am aware of the financial cost of being an oos applicant and am able to afford it.
