<p>bump 4 me!</p>
<p>I posted earlier in this thread, but I was wondering what my chances for a scholarship are. Thanks. Here are my stats again:</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.86-3.9 (somewhere in this range)
Weighted GPA: ~4.52
UC GPA: 4.2x</p>
<p>Top 1-2% or so</p>
<p>ACT scores
Comp - 33
English - 34
Math - 32
Reading - 35
Science - 30</p>
<p>SAT II Scores
-Math IIC: 760
-Physics: 720</p>
<p>AP's:
-World History
-Stats
-Calc BC
-Physics C: Mech
-English Lang & Comp.

(All 4's and 5's)
-Psychology (Senior year)
-English Lit & Comp (Senior year)</p>
<p>Major: EECS</p>
<p>EC's
-Independent Research (since 8th grade). (This is comp sci./engineering research that, for the most part, I have done by myself: no mentors, etc).
-Competitive Fencing
-I am part of a group which is a youth subdivision of our county board of supervisors.
<em>these are the main ones and though there are onlly 3, they are very time consuming</em></p>
<p>Any other significant accomplishments in a specific field
-ISEF x2
-Siemens Regional Finalist
-Davidson Fellow Honorable Mention
-1st place Winner of local sci fair x2
-Many more research awards
-Hope to get a publication soon</p>
<p>College Classes:
Java - A
Linear Algebra - A
Physics: E/M - Taking right now...will be an A
Introduction to Electrical Circuits and Devices - Spring
Introduction to Logic Design - Spring (maybe)</p>
<p>probably a reach for scholarships, especially bc of your major (so competitive).</p>
<p>hmm i was hoping my national and international awards would help for scholarships..i'm guessing it's mainly based on test scores and gpa?</p>
<p>i think so, but it depends on which scholarship. i'm sure you could get some, but probably a third of the student body is at least as smart and well-rounded as you are, so it's a little hard to tell in that regard.</p>
<p>I'm a transfer student from UCR with a 3.45 gpa. How bad are my chances?</p>

<p>originpranks: though your resume is overall strong (good GPA/scores/ECs), international admissions are very competitive. I'd say reach.</p>
<p>Ijmom : your daughter has a strong GPA/rank, great scores, and good ECs. I'd say match.</p>

Not sure what it would be weighted, our school doesn't do that but:</p>

10th grade: full pre-IB (I moved schools after the year)
11th grade: AP US, AP Physics, Honors Pre-Calc, Honors French 300 (U of Washington in High School course)

<p>So it should be pretty high ranked, right?</p>

800-math
630-writing
600-reading
Not too good outside of math, taking the ACT and SAT IIs in December.</p>
<p>AP Tests- US (4), Physics (3). Again, not too impressive.</p>

<p>I think my chances are pretty slim, but its so hard to raise your SAT grade when the english curriculum here is rubbish!
any suggestions?</p>
<p>vc08: slight reach... stats and ecs are average, lots of uc applicants and berkeley applicants are similar to yours. test scores are on the low side. your ACT is okay thought. </p>
<p>zaid: reach, are you a california resident? are you attending an american school? your stats are more in the range of uci or uc davis... </p>
<p>good luck to both of you.</p>
<p>Zaid: I'm also wondering if you are a Californian resident. Your GPA is good but the SAT scores are really low for Berkeley. I think your chances are slim if they don't dramatically improve.</p>
<p>Can someone chance me for these schools?

<p>My chance for Berkeley's EECS? oh and does the fact that i've only been here for about 5 years help my chance of gettting in? Thanks. And It'd be nice if you can also clarify the difference b/w EECS computer science and College of L&S computer science, do you start taking the same classes on your junior year? Thanks!</p>
<p>CA2006, Vicissitudes: I am not a CA resident since ive been in Kuwait for almost my whole life. I do go to an American school here but the teaching here isnt spectacular, the english department that is. I am an American citizen however.
What SAT scores do you think i would need?</p>
