<p>SAT Reasoning Scores (by section) or ACT scores
ACT 33</p>
<p>SAT II Scores
Eng Lit: 720
Math II:740
Bio E:690 ( i know...)</p>
<p>Which college are you applying to? (Letters and Science, Engineering, Chemistry, etc.) </p>
<p>Letters and Science-i wanna do journalism/i dont really know</p>
<p>List a few of your most important ECs (a laundry list of 20+ items is not needed)</p>
<p>Journalism (newspaper, managing editor this year)
cross country
1440 interact club
hospital volunteering
chemistry club (president)

<p>Any other significant accomplishments in a specific field
uhh concert master in honors orchestras?
national merit semifinalist
national honor society
ap scholar with something (i dont remember)
etc</p>
<p>As it stands, I'd say Berkeley's a reach - strong ACT, and average GPA, SAT IIs, ECs, and honors/awards. Being OOS makes it much more difficult. You do have a good shot, though.</p>
<p>^^ Did you not look at this thread at all? Your GPA is average *for Berkeley<a href="I've%20said%20this%20multiple%20times%20before">/I</a>. It by no means is average on an absolute scale.</p>
<p>Sorry, didn't mean to be snappy. At any rate, I wasn't talking about UC GPA or weighted GPA. I was talking about UW GPA. Also, it'd be a good idea to calculate your UC GPA and W GPA when you post chances threads/posts -- it helps others to assess your chances.</p>
<p>dietcoke14: great GPA, great ACT score, good SAT IIs, decent ECs. I'd say ~60-70% chance.</p>

<p>By asking me that question you are assuming I am in college. ;)</p>
<p>vicissitudes: since you are knowledgeable about all this cal stuff i assumed that you were. but i guess you are either: 1. a current student, 2. an alumni, 3. faculty, 4. a faculty alumni. Another guess is that you are/were an engineering student. just wanna confirm my curiosity. haha</p>
<p>Let's just say I've had experiences with a lot of random science classes. I don't like to divulge personal info publicly but if you must know, PM me.</p>
<p>UCantTouch9Feet: reach
UCGPA is low, SAT close in range but SAT subjects are low, I wouldn't send them your AP scores, where's the EC, as in community service?</p>
<p>UCantTouch9Feet: I agree with knguyen142 that it's a reach -- the UC GPA is a bit low, the SAT is about average, the Spanish SAT II is somewhat weak, and the ECs/honors/awards don't really distinguish you. If you make your essays really great (perhaps showing a reason for a subpar GPA), you'd have a better shot.</p>
<p>UcantTouch9Feet: your GPA's a little low, SAT score is okay, SAT II scores are okay. ECs are a little weak, I don't really think Berkeley cares that much about 3 years XC/Track (everyone does sports in high school) or church mountain retreats (unless there's more to it that I'm missing). I'll say ~30% chance.</p>
