<p>Are you ELC - that will also help.
Do you know your rank (even if HS doesn't rank?). I am convinced that we're being compared to others from our own HS.</p>
<p>No, I didn't get ELC (top 4%), but I got the invitation to be considered for ELC (top 15%). Sorry, my high school doesn't rank. My weighted high school GPA is 4.31, my UC GPA without 8 max honors cap is 4.46, and my UC GPA with 8 max honors cap is 4.29. But since our high school is already ranked high, ELC doesn't make a big difference. Our graduating class is about 320 people, and about 30 or so people decide to go to Berkeley each year.</p>
<p>I'd estimate your chances at around 70%.</p>
<p>Schools in my area also decide between UCLA or Berkeley. 50 decides to go to Berkeley and 25 to UCLA.</p>
<p>What area do you live in? Out of about 200 seniors who choose to list which college they're going to: approximately 8-10 go to Stanford, 3-5 go to MIT, 30-40 go to Berkeley, 30-40 go to UCLA, 20-30 go to UCSD, and 10 go to Ivies.</p>
<p>Silicon Valley</p>
<p>South Bay?</p>
<p>Off topic? In counting UC gpa, because we are limited to 8 semester, even if we get all A's whoever takes less courses will have a higher gpa.</p>

Did you say 30 actually are admitted or attend Berkeley?</p>
<p>Yes, whoever takes less courses (assuming he/she gets all A's) will have a higher GPA (assuming he/she took at least 8 honors classes). However, the 8 max honors cap is only considered for UC eligibility, and there is actually no honors cap when UC admission officers begin taking into account all of the prospective applicants and deciding who is most qualified for a specific major. So then the person who took more honors classes would have a higher GPA than the person who took fewer honors classes.</p>
<p>Yes, I said that "30 go to Berkeley," as in 30 people decided to go to Cal in the end. The actual number of people who decided to go to Cal was probably a bit higher. Given that our senior class has about 320 students, about 10% of our graduating class end up going to Cal each year.</p>
<p>i personally no abosolutely nothing about admissions into Cal... however... i do know two people who got into Cal with full scholarships for EE and as far as i know neither of them had any really amazing ECs or really astounding SAT scores and i think one of them didnt even take that many APs so i would recommend you go for it.. (but dont quote me on that)</p>
<p>Consider that EECS is one of the hardest department to get into.
Can someone rank the from hardest of the departments to get into with the college of engineering. Is ME or CEE that hard to get into?</p>
