@ANormalSeniorGuy - will you post your stats?
@foreverasadcat
You still have a chance! I was one of the early admits to UC Berkeley with the same stats as you! Don’t count yourself out! I have no idea how I got in with such low test scores, but I got accepted into UCLA @foreverasadcat
FYI, three years ago my first D got accepted to both UCLA and CAL. She chose UCLA. This year my second D got likely letter from UCLA enginnering and got Accepted but she also received LOR from CAL.
Stats,
UW: 4.0
W: 4.63
New SAT: 1540
She did not submitted her Subject tests scores to UCs. She thought it was too low. They were low 700s
I only got the LOR request and receipt email. No likely email either. No other communication except the one in late Jan. Feeling nervous.
another early acceptance/regents candidate in engineering here–feel free to pm me for stats/discussion if you guys want!

see the rest on the chance-me threads
just curious but is business a hard major to get into? what about economics
How competitive/what is the acceptance rate for film/cinema studies major?
Everyone please @ me so I can see the questions. @dattitude undergraduate business is very hard to get into. The average accepted GPA is 3.7 at Berkeley and everyone who applies has leadership experience and has founded clubs. You cant be partying and get in unless you part at a business club. Econ is easier as all you have to do is pass the required classes and have a certain gpa (3.0 I think?), so many people apply for haas and if they dont get in they just do econ
@typicalmango you can read about it here: http://film-colleges.com/university-of-california-berkeley I dont know if its particularly competitive but I know its not that highly ranked so it should not be too hard
I got rejected to UCLA UCSD UCI UCD UCSB and accepted to UCM UCR UCSC. I applied CS to all UC’s and was wondering if i even have a chance of getting into UCB for L&S CS now… I have a 3.86 UC GPA with a huge upward trend, 1450 New SAT, 740 Japanese, 800 Math 2, 740 Chem, school orchestra all 4 years, varsity tennis captain, JV basketball, computer science clubs, Japanese school, did numerous volunteer programs pertaining to CS at UCB and have been interning there since last summer.

@roonilwazlib100 you have great stats, especially for your major choice. I think you have a good chance, especially with those other acceptances in mind. The only worry I have is the uw gpa is a little low and your sat score is right on the average, but i think your ECs are good enough (depends on reader) and hopefully your essays will carry you through. I would say you have a moderate to good chance, but remember I am not an admissions person
@ANormalSeniorGuy thank you for your input! it was great getting an unbiased second opinion.
@roonilwazlib100 yep, you’re welcome. Hopefully you hear good news! I’ll hear the same day as you for some ivies. Funny how UCB is now on Ivy day
