Post Here: Admitted with Low Stats (UCB 2012)

<p>If you were admitted with lower-than-average stats, post here to give us all some hope (mainly me :D)! Be sure to include major or sports scholarships, etc!</p>

<p>Good luck to all!</p>

<p>Might want to define low stats...I mean below a 4.0 is a low stat for UCB but in reality its not that bad...</p>

<p>For now let's just say "Low" is below the UCB averages</p>

<p>I have a 3.64 uc gpa and a 29 on the ACT.. I have a 0% chance. If I get in, I'll change my name to Berkeley. :p</p>

<p>29 ACT isn't bad, it's only about 50-60 points below their average. As for the GPA, they accept some lower ones, so you can still do it!</p>

<p>I'm not sure about UC UW gpa, but I have like 3 A+, 1 A and 1 B (all honors/ap mixed). 1940 sat(the killer), 790/750 sat 2...so I don't know..big reach to reach.</p>

<p>lol. I have a 3.2 uw gpa and 1540 SAT score. although it's really low for Cal, it's also really low for UCSD and I got in XD. I hope another miracle happens and I get into Cal too. HAha!</p>

<p>My friend just called and told me he was accepted with an SAT score of 1490...yet, we're both pretty sure regardless of the score he spoke about his extra curricular (cycling) and his mother recently passed away last year.</p>

<p>I'm off to Davis though. It fits me sooo much better. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Before you diss me, I applied to school of Natural Resources, and have spent the last 4 years exploring my passion for the environment. I wrote one of my essays about how the environment has changed my life. Also, I volunteered for various environmental organizations throughout my high school career (well over 200 hours). I held a summer internship with the US fish and wildlife services as well. I aspire to be the Secretary of the Interior, and I think I could accomplish this at Cal!!!</p>

<p>Mehhh, you are a perfect example of holistic admissions -- not just stats, but the whole context that makes someone a great addition to the class of '12. See you at Cal.</p>

<p>Thanks! I hope my acceptance serves as some inspiration for other aspiring golden bears. Yes, I may not have taken every AP class offered at my school, or joined every club in the world, but I do have a very distinct list of extracurricular activities. I encourage all high school juniors to explore their passion, and believe me, colleges will appreciate it.</p>

<p>Congratulations to all that were admitted! :)</p>

good ec's and good essays!</p>

<p>i feel like im dreaming :]</p>
