<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME I WILL CHANCE BACK</p>

<p>Berkeley: Match</p>

<p>Highly, highly possible (just from looking at your resume). However, if there’s anything that would stop you, it’s the 3.8/4.22. With weight, 4.22 isn’t terribly high. For my school, you could achieve higher than a 4.22 if you simply took all honors classes (no APs!) </p>

<p>Have you ever gotten a C? How about a non-AP B?</p>

<p>You have above an 80 percent chance for Berkeley, definitely a match. GPA is a bit low, and at my school a 4.22 would get you rank 50 out of 500.</p>

<p>I’ve gotten bs in only honors and ap classes and no cs</p>

<p>thanks for your guys’ input! </p>

<p>What program will you be applying?</p>

<p>It really depends on your major.
If you applied to the college of engineering then I’d put you at a reach. You’re lower grades + lack of focused ECs would make it difficult for you to stand out from the 70,000 applicants UCB got this year; especially since the college of engineering has an acceptance rate almost 10% lower than the rest of the school.
If you didn’t apply for those majors I’d say you have a decent shot, but I still wouldn’t call it a match. More like a high math/low reach.</p>

<p>I applied political science </p>

<p>Does that change anything?</p>
