<p>I was also wondering how much Berkeley looks at the writing SAT score, especially the essay.</p>
<p>@hamburgler</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. I realize I probably look like the stereotypical insecure CC kid that posts ridiculous stats just so people will reassure them, but I was rejected or waitlisted from 6/9 colleges that I applied to, so I'm kinda worried. Basically, I did little to no work in high school, but whatever. Kids, do your homework.</p>

<p>summerinthecity: your SAT I is good but the good news stops there. Honestly I don't think your GPA is high enough for Berkeley OOS. ECs are pretty good but nothing outstanding. Berkeley is too expensive for OOS anyway, I think you would be happier at another private university, to be honest.</p>
<p>kindkid: great resume and scores, ECs look solid, I think you have a great chance, the only thing is you're applying to OOS EECS which is the hardest way to get into Berkeley, but I still think you have a good chance. Of course there's always that possibility Berkeley could reject you out of its stupid Berkeley randomness it's known for.</p>
<p>I'll do more later if I'm bored.</p>
<p>Hah, that's what I was thinking too. Thank you though!</p>
<p>Here are my stats, please give me honest feedback::

I've taken AP Bio and AP Calc as a junior, i'll be a senior soon and will take AP Chem, dual enroll in Calc II and III and might take AP History.</p>

<p>Thanks, everyone!</p>
<p>Anyone have an opinion?</p>
<p>I will a senior and will be applying to UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>I live in California.</p>
<p>I am Hispanic. I have a 4.23 UC GPA and a 3.86 unweighted. My SAT's aren't great (1970), and my ACT is 29. My SAT II's: Math II(790) and US History(660). I plan on retaking the SAT reasoning, the ACT, and the US History exam. I am in the top 10% in my class.</p>
<p>ACT
Composite 29
English 29
Math 35
Reading 28
Science 25
and Writing I got a 9 on the essay, 28 as the score</p>
<p>In terms of extracurriculars, I have been playing football for 4 years, with 2 years on varsity. Our varsity team had the highest average GPA in our section and I won the Most Academic Award (for highest GPA) on that team in 2007. I am also a sectional scholar athlete and have earned my academic letter. I also played Freshman Basketball.</p>
<p>I have over 250 hours of community service. I volunteer weekly at my local hospital and have amassed over 150 hours there. This past summer I have been helping register voters and other volunteer work for Barack Obama's campaign. I also do other random volunteer work with the football team and with some clubs at school.</p>
<p>In addition, I was a baseball umpire for a youth league for 2 years. I was also a private tutor for two years, tutoring elementary/middle school kids in math. I was also a videographer for the local youth football league(for 3 years), and taped every film of every squad's game. I also was an assistant coach for one of the squads of that organization for a year.</p>
<p>Also, I was in a summer program for gifted high school students at UC Berkeley for four years. There I took challenging courses that I got credit for.
In school, other than football, I am a member of the MUN club and the Spanish club. I have been in the California Scholarship Federation for 7 semesters and have won numerous school and MUN awards. I plan on starting a couple of poltical-based clubs next year. </p>
<p>AP Scores(so far)
5 in US History
4 in Biology
4 in European History
I will have taken a total of 8 weighted courses(with 7 AP's) by the end of my senior year.</p>
<p>How am I looking?</p>
<p>BAMdrea: I'd say you have a really good chance at UCI/UCSD. UCLA and Cal should be fine with a good essay.</p>
<p>itsthemendy16: Your GPA and SAT II's are pretty good, as are your ECs. Even though your SAT score is slightly lower, it's hard to tell. (My bf made it into Berkeley with a 1930 and lower SAT II's.) Your ECs are solid, so I think you have a pretty good chance if you raise the SAT Reasoning.</p>
