<p>How do my chances look for UC Berkeley? Please reply and get some stress off of my shoulders, this has haunted me since my sister was accepted when I was barely 11 years old. </p>
<p>BTW, I am an incoming Senior applying in November..</p>

<p>very good. perfect grades + a GPA at the cap is a plus for berkeley. Berkeley is more grades oriented and is known to accept lower scorers w/ perfect grades over higher scorers w/ poor grades. Your EC's are fine as well.</p>
<p>That being said, a 2030 will make things iffy. I would suggest trying to get your tests up to a 700 avg (including the 2 SAT II's). The UC's weight SAT II's equally to SAT I, so they are very very important. </p>
<p>Good chances regardless, 700 avg will make you a very solid candidate.</p>
<p>If you are out of state you might be in trouble. The scores would hurt in that case.</p>
<p>As you may already know, UCLA, UCB, UCSD, UCD are all very difficult schools to get into. If you are not a resident, I would say "big" reach, if you are a state res then "slight" reach. Best of advice would be to of course apply, but be sure to have back ups that you love.</p>
<p>that's not possible. you can only weight 8 semesters of your GPA for honors/AP classes in 10th and 11th grade (and only a-g courses - there is a limit to extra points for 10th grade, either 2 semesters or 4 semesters) , so max would be a 4.4. </p>
<p>"Semi-Finalist at local math tournament" this doesn't matter. </p>
<p>The SAT I is low, so you need to bring it up to about 2100+ or do very well on the SAT II. Reading and Writing are critical parts of the SAT, since any college major will require those skills. </p>
<p>If your GPA is that high, are you ELC? Yes, on that note, class rank is crucial. If you are in the top 4%, i.e. ELC, you should have a fairly good chance. If not, chances dramatically decrease. (Unless your school has a reputation for grade deflation or being especially hard, it makes it look like your course selection is not challenging. Yes, Cal does weight GPA heavily, but that is taken into consideration with course selection.)</p>
<p>Since you have CSF, you're in-state...and if you're ELC, you should have a good chance. A tentative match, but you'd have to look at your school's history (do you usually send top 30+ people to Cal each year?) to make sure.</p>
<p>Ooh wow, thanks for the useful information. For my weighted UC GPA I used all of the a-g courses that I had from my 10-11 years. My a-g courses were:</p>
<p>10TH GRADE
English 2A A-/A-
AP World History A/A
Math Analysis A-/A-
Biology A+/A+
Spanish 2 A-/A-</p>
<p>11TH GRADE
AP English Language A-/A-
AP Calculus A/A
AP US History A-/A-
Spanish 3 A/A
AP Biology A/A</p>
<p>My class rank is above top 5 or 10 out of about 550 students. My school is actually very competitive, but I'm not sure if colleges can even recognize it since it's a public school. I'm also in-state and ELC.</p>
<p>I plan to put a lot of time into studying for my SAT IIs. Thank you for all of your help! If anyone else can help me out on figuring out my chances, please do.</p>
