Please Chance UC Berkeley and UCLA OOS

<p>My son is OOS.</p>

<p>34 ACT</p>

<p>800 CR
800 writing
700 math</p>

<p>3.6 or 3.7 gpa unweighted</p>

<p>But in the top 5% of his class (barely, by two people)</p>

<p>He is on the debating team, and has published a few writings in minor publications, but other than not, nothing outstanding in the way of ECs.</p>

<p>I’m from FL as well, I got in two years ago with a 2140, 31 ACT, 3.8 GPA, ECs like debate and drama and other good but not great things. I’d say your son has a good shot.</p>

<p>Decent chance for both. UC is more gpa-focused, however. But looking for $$.</p>

<p>FLdad: your s should also consider USC which pays well for high test scores. Automatic discount for NMSF.</p>

<p>Blue Bayou:</p>

<p>Unfortunately, he was not a NMSF.</p>

<p>He was a late bloomer.</p>

<p>umm, he still might garner some $$ from 'SC. Might be worth an app.</p>
