<p>It's fairly hard to get into Berkeley from in-state, and very hard to get into Berkeleyfrom out of state. Do you know which college or for which major you will be applying? Test scores are a fairly big factor. ECs are of some significance, as are essays.</p>
<p>I got accepted and I'm out-of-state (although I still don't how because my scores were fairly horrible, seriously). I got into College of L&S w/a major of Biology.
Looks like you have a good amount of APs and a good GPA though. =)</p>
<p>If you're good enough to get accepted out of state, you're good enough to get accepted to a good private school like Uchicago or possibly Duke. Go there, you will have a better time.</p>
<p>I don't know if there's an official policy, but it's about that much. Southern California and Northern California are like two different states, essentially.</p>
