<p>hey people, im going to be a senior this upcoming year and of course im a little worried about my chances at certain places and what not....so instead of me posting all my stats for now and people responding, can some of you Golden Bears who have been accepted within the last year or two post some of your stats....just like gpa, sat, maybe a quick summary of ECs and such??</p>
<p>thanks this would be great!!!</p>
<p>GPA UW 3.67
GPA UC Weighted 3.96
(However I go to a school that sent 50 to Cal this year and ranked #26 on that Ranking of High Schools that was a buzz a bit back whatever that stands for)</p>
<p>SAT I: 2300
ACT Composite: 35
SAT II-Math IIC: 800
SAT II-US History: 800
SAT II-Physics: 680</p>
<p>APs: Euro (5), Psych (5), US Hist (5), Macroeconomics (5?), Microeconomics (5?), US Gov't (5?), Comparative Gov't (5?), Physics C: Mech (3?), Physics C: E & M (3?)</p>
<p>ECs: I work for my family's business a lot, so no clubs and no Community Service.</p>
<p>UC GPA UW: 3.95, W: 4.35
SAT I: 1990 (660 CR, 650 M, 680 W)
SAT IIs: 710 U.S. History, 600 French
APs: U.S. History (5), AP Eng (3), AP Calc AB, AP French

I got rejected from UCLA, but got in at Cal and I know people that had the opposite. At Cal, I really think they look at you more as a person than stats. Yes, high grades and/or SAT's get you knocking at the door, but a well written, genuine essay will get you in (IMHO). Pick something to write about that is close to your heart. Good luck!</p>

<p>Must have gotten in because of my damn good essays, nothing else really explains it (maybe my Mexican ethnicity explains it?); My school's rank in the controversial Newsweek rankings was #112, sent over 10 people to Berkeley this year and 5-10 to UCLA, never knew my class rank</p>
<p>from what you all are saying it seems that the essays hold alot of weight in the admissions process....thank you all though for the help!</p>
<p>I'm sorry, I really don't think essays hold that much weight...they really don't have time to read them with so many applications. either way, here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: UW: 3.85 UC GPA: 4.10 (? i think...)
SAT I: 2160 (800V 650M 710W) (remember UCs only use one sitting)
SAT II: US HIST:720, MATH 2 C: 670
AP's: CALC AB: 4, US: 4, Spanish 4, took five more tests this year.
EC's: Journalism! 3 newspapers, including one professional press that i get paid to write for. Politics! 3 politicians. Jobs! etc.</p>
<p>"I'm sorry, I really don't think essays hold that much weight...they really don't have time to read them with so many applications. either way, here are my stats:"</p>
<p>Essays are very important.</p>
<p>Thanks for the strong statement, with support to go along with it.</p>
<p>Another thing to take into consideration is that they admit you to a certain major, and some are more selective than others. This means that applying to Berkeley's EECS major will make it more difficult to get in, as opposed to applying as a History major in the College of L&S.</p>
<p>As for me,
GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.6 (Academic GPA, 10-11) W
SAT1: 2160 (760 Math, 710 Verbal, 690 CR)

elected to a city commission twice
[/quote]
Do you really mean 'elected'? I think you mean appointed...</p>
<p>when you say "only use one sitting" does this mean that they will take your best sitting overall compared to a highest compilation??</p>
<p>so say your 2nd sitting you do better than your first, then would be that the one they would take?? im guesing so....</p>
<p>my ECs and GPA are comparable to all of yours, but those nagging SATs, lol....1990 :-/ 1370/1600
im definitely happy, but know i can do alot better....plus i am OOS</p>

AP Phy: 5
AP Stat: 4
AP Eng Comp: 3

<p>Class Rank: 12/600ish</p>
<p>Only about 5 people are going to Cal from my school this year. 10ish to LA.</p>
<p>I was admitted by both LA and Cal. I believe the essay was the most important factor. Write something that presents yourself in a unique and impressive perspective.</p>
