Hi Everyone! I’m new to California and US and all this new information is to confusing for me. I have been here for about 3 years. I finished my sophomore year, with a 3.6 average GPA, and can’t wait for my Junior year. In 10th grade I took Pre-calculus, AP comp sci, Honors Chemistry, English 10 regular, PE, Regular history. I have completed around 50 service hours, and I’m part of my school’s Key Club. Next year I’m taking AP Physics, Calculus, Psychology,US History. I’m also going to be part of varsity cross country, and gonna join 3 more clubs. I’m currently studying for the SATs individually and with a tutor once a week. I took the practice, which was graded by my tutor, and received a 2010. I’m trying to cover my horrible 10th grade GPA with a high SAT score. I’m a really fast learner and willing to sacrifice anything to get to Berkeley. If I get the maximum GPA score, with a SAT 2200+, SAT2 750+, with 150+ service hours, 4+ AP scores, ACT 30+, and a perfect essay do you guys think that I will still have a small chance to get into Berkeley. If Berkeley does not work out for me, then UCLA would be OK for me, since they are both at the same level. I currently speak 3 languages, and planning to take Spanish in a Community College and High School at the same time. I have worked during the summers full time for 2 years. I’m trying to be a doctor, so my major would be a premed if that helps. Please give me a brief explanation about my chances. Any additional information would be helpful. If those 2 don’t work out for me, which College would be my next best choice. Also which college should be my back up college , something that is not too low.
Sorry for my English.
Thank You In Advance!
I think you would have better luck posting in the international students forum and/or the Berkeley forum. Non-traditional student means students over 25, so we aren’t really familiar with your particular circumstances.
youll make it.
especialy if you meet your goals for your standarized tests
Your chances are good. If you want to increase your UC GPA to make up for what you feel is a bad sophomore year, take a summer school class at the college level. Any college classes you take before fall of your senior year in high school are eligible to be weighted like your AP classes and will be included in your UC GPA.
