<p>Berkeley: Match</p>

<p>I would admit the heck out of you. In your essays you need to prove why you should be there, since I’m assuming there will be plenty of kids with stats similar to yours.</p>

<p>You mentioned that you attend a competitive private school…is it likely that other students will apply? Definitely something to consider.</p>

4

<p>Ya I am sure a lot will apply. This year my school had 110 apply and 41 was admitted.
I’m just stressing out :(</p>

5

<p>still, you have excellent chances! Berkeley cares a lot about GPA and SAT. Was your B in a humanities class?</p>

6

<p>It was in chemistry honor one semester but I got A all year on ap chemistry…</p>

7

<p>also if it matters, i was 2x varsity tennis scholar athelete…
bumpp</p>

<p>Bro, you’ve got extremely great stats and you’ve got 1 more year of high school. Stop stressing and enjoy summer while you can. Same thing with final year of high-school
Match
Please answer mine? Thanks</p>

9

<p>Totally Match. Make sure your personal statements are excellent and you will get in for sure!</p>

10

<p>Thanks guys I feel kind of better. Any more insights? :D</p>

11

<p>bump to the top</p>

12

<p>UCB should be a match for you.</p>

13

<p>I’m assuming that National AP scholar is circumstantial at best (and non-existent at the moment) as you only have 4 confirmed AP scores?</p>

<p>Good one on you for the GPA, ECs, test scores, etc but please set off circumstantial items with “Expected”, it allows for more accurate chances.</p>

<p>Partially in agreement with most of the posters thus far, only real concern regarding your application might actually be the fact that you’re an in-stater, but in retrospect it most likely won’t affect your application.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

14

<p>Those guys above pretty much said all that I’d have to say. Seriously, your stats are great and therefore you stand a good chance of being admitted. Try to enjoy high school while you still can ;)</p>

15

<p>with good essays I can’t see why you wouldn’t be in</p>

16

<p>You are perfect for Berkeley!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
