<p>My first question is about the UC Application. It states that it does NOT want you to send your transcripts. What? How is there going to be proof of your grades then? </p>

<p>My second question is my chance for UC Berkeley. </p>

<p>Many apply. Few are accepted. Cal will check your transcripts once you are accepted, as a condition of admittance, but won’t waste time or money checking transcripts up front. As part of the application, you self-report your grades and your SATs. If accepted, you will have to prove it by submitting the transcripts and the SAT/ACT scores.</p>

<p>Oh thank you so much.</p>

4

<p>I’d say Berkeley is a reach for you. Though, I had somewhat similar (but slightly higher) stats and got in.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

5

<p>if you are within the top 15% of your HS and can write a unique personal statement, i dont see why you couldn’t get in…</p>

6

<p>I am in top 5%.
Do you think my Sophomore grade has that much say over my chances?</p>

7

<p>Did you take your SAT II Math Level 2 exam? I don’t see it listed in your post…</p>

8

<p>Reach; SAT is a little below avg and GPA is pretty average (though increasing, which is good). ECs are pretty strong.</p>

<p>I’d say reach, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you got in.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>I just signed up for the SAT on November 1st so hopefully I will raise my score.</p>

10

<p>girrrrrrrrl, I think you can make it. My stats were hella lower than the average and perhaps I only got in because of first generation or something. </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>Probably a reach but the UC resident helps a lot. Does anyone know what the Berkeley supplement is? For me to be able to log in to the Berkeleyapp, I have to finish my UC application which I have not. What is the Berkeley essay topic?</p>
