<p>What’s your UC Gpa, and your weighted GPA? </p>

<p>UC GPA: 4.33
Weighted GPA (Uncapped): 4.5</p>

<p>UCB should be a match. CS Internship at UCLA may be helpful for you. </p>

<p>Thanks for the chance! Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>The UC schools are so odd. It’s hard to tell who’s going to get it and who isn’t. I’ve had a lot of friends go to UCLA and 2 go to Berkeley. </p>

<p>As far as your scores go, obviously you’re outstanding. I would be worried if your essays aren’t anything extraordinary. A LOT of people apply to Berkeley and “who they are” counts a lot towards if they get in or not. </p>

<p>I would say you’ll get in though, it looks like a strong match. </p>

<p>Anecdote time: I had one friend who applied to Berkeley with a 1750 SAT and 3.7 UW GPA. It was a reach school for her and she got in! However, another person with a 4.0 GPA and 2180 SAT got rejected. Nobody knows why, obviously, but it just shows how odd the UC schools are in how they choose. </p>

<p>Good luck! I don’t think you’ll need it, though!</p>

<p>Chance me back for NYU! </p>

<p>Btw, I am a California resident, if that helps. </p>

<p>You should submit all your scores to UCs. This is a high match for you and not a match only because of how unpredictable some of these higher tier colleges can be. Good luck! </p>

<p>Could you please chance me back? Thank you!

<p>Okay, thanks a lot!</p>

14

<p>If you can get someone to take a look at your essays and make sure they’re brilliant, then you’re definitely in. Your entire application sparkles.</p>

15

<p>Looks good and being Asian won’t hurt you. You’ll probably get in. Why not aim for higher schools like Caltech or Stanford?</p>

16

<p>I personally do not think I am special enough for schools like Stanford. However, I will be applying for a few high reaches. Thanks for the feedback everyone!</p>

17

<p>any other thoughts are appreciated guys, i can also chance back! thanks</p>
