Hello,
I recently applied to UC Berkeley and I wanted a general idea of what my chances are for getting in. Thanks in advance to anyone who comments >:D<
Classes
I applied to Integrative Biology (not impacted major). I applied from out of state (MA).
My school gives letter grades and so I input my grades as (A,B,C…)
I have all A’s except for four A- (all inputted as A because there is no A- grades) and 1 B+ grade (input as B)
So all grades in my UC application are A’s except for one B.
6 AP classes by the end of senior year.
4.39/4.5 gpa (I’m not sure if UC schools will see this as I already input grades directly into application since they grade honors courses differently)
ACT: 32 (35 in math 35 in writing -not as good in reading in science)
760 on Math 2
Pretty Good EC’s: (in my opinion) (trend in biology and French)
Harvard research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (sponsored staff)
Bioengineering club VP and P (Biogen and MIT associated- spoke at conference March 9 2017 Cambridge MA)

Ethnicity: White

Very good public high school (Awarded Blue Ribbon around 2 years ago).
I also applied to UCLA and UCSD but I really like Berkeley because of the location and its strong sciences.
