***UC Berkeley Class of 2020 Applicant Discussion***

It should show act scores. mine showed last yr.

on a cal webinar last year, the reps said class rank mattered because they were most certainly comparing you to your peers who applied

I sure would like for the class rank to matter since that’s one of my S’ strength besides GPA, rigor, EC, and essays. His ACT is not as high so hopefully those will help him get admitted! :slight_smile:

Would anyone mind chancing me? For UCLA as well maybe? Really nervous about getting in.

Thanks everyone

@futureengineer20 If you can not get in, there’s no chance for my S!

Is anyone NOT sending recs…out of curiosity?
my teachers are pretty annoyed at filling more recs.

My teacher said UCB’s wasn’t that bad. Just had to upload the letter and didn’t have to fill anything out.

oh thank God

Hi all,
I really want to get into UC Berkeley with CS as my major.

My GPA is:
3.95 unweighted
4.4 weighted

SAT:
650 Critical Reading
770 Math
780 Writing
2200 Composite

Awards:
FBLA E-Business 7th place at national level competition (Coding a website).
FBLA Mobile App Development 5th place at national level competition (Coding a mobile app).

Extra Curricular:
Track & Field for 4 years.
Taekwondo (2nd degree black belt) been doing it for 10 years.
School programming club.

What are my chances?
Also, I’m a bit worried about my SAT score. Will it be fine?
By the way, I am a California resident.

Just have a question.
I know UC Berkeley usually send Regents and Chancellor’s scholarship interview invitation between late January and early February.
Just in case, did anyone receive that yet? I know that invitation means you got accepted already.

I applied for undeclared/pre-business, is this competitive?

I sent all my SAT scores already. Am I required to send in my mediocre ACT score? :-S

Did anyone get the letters of recommendation request? I can’t tell if it’s good or bad? Does this mean my application is borderline?

@xomburb No, Berkeley is doing something new this year and sending LoR requests to ~20% of applicants. As far as we can tell from this forum, it seems random. I got one as well, so I hope it isn’t bad!

Am I required to send all my ACT scores because I only sent one?

@2ne1islife yes

Am I required to send in ACT scores if I’ve already sent in all my SAT scores?

@johnlimster I think you have a pretty decent shot

@nishaus but is my SAT score okay? Especially with a 650 CR…
