<p>As this section is entitled, my question is "What are my chances of getting into a good university, such as UC Berkeley or UPenn?"</p>
<p>GPA: unweighted, a little bit less than 3.5
SAT:2330</p>
<p>For my GPA, what brought me down was my Japanese class. I had a C in it, and it counted for double credit.</p>
<p>nice SAT
what's your class rank?</p>
<p>What is your weighted GPA?</p>
<p>Extracurriculars? Work Experience? Volunteering?</p>
<p>pwaffles-class rank 9-12 is 140, out of 400, 10-12 170 something. <not good,="" i="" know.=""></not></p>

<p>oh, yeah. i've taken piano since I was 5-typical asian, and have completed all Certificate of Merits. I'm taking Advanced Panel senior year.</p>
<p>also, i think i'd like to go to a good business school. recommend any?</p>
<p>Hmm, the GPA is weighing you down, but the C might be overlooked with your SAT score. So maybe a slight reach.</p>
<p>thanks! anyone else?</p>
<p>you have good extra curriculars. and nice SAT! UCB is hard to get into. you need to raise up your GPA. but then again... your SAT scores are going to be a "WOW!!" to them.</p>

<p>UCB: Slight Reach</p>
<p>flopsy: slight reach? as in, little chance of getting in? or as in...only a little chance of not getting in? @.@</p>
<p>A reach means significantly under 50% chance.</p>
<p>We need your UC weighted GPA and class rank (aprox. if school doesn't rank) to really guess.</p>
<p><em>points up</em> my response to UCI is my weighted GPA. my response to pwaffles is my rank.</p>
<p>I'd say reach/slight reach... depending on how heavily UCB weighs in your GPA. Your SAT is AMAZING but your GPA is a lot lower than the average Berkeley GPA of 4.2 (?). Your extracurriculars will help too.</p>
<p>UCB: Slight Reach</p>
<p>You deffiantly got a good shot with that high SAT. Congrats on that. I wanna call Berkeley a match for you, but your GPA is just low enough that it could go either way. UC's weigh GPA's quite heavilly. Id say Berkeley is likely a slight reach. But you deff got a good shot. Best of luck!</p>
<p>thanks! nobody else?</p>
<p>bump. anyone else?</p>
<p>i dont know about the uc's, but upenn is probly huge reach bc im pretty sure they take an almost nonexistant segment outside the top 10%</p>
<p>thanks, bigticket. anyone else?</p>
<p>damagednote,
Here is the statistics from school counselor for D's high school. For UCB, Acceptances = 96, Average GPA= 4.26, Average SAT=2184, GPA Range=4.55-3.46, SAT range=2400-1670.
D's high school is one of the tops in this county that explains the high number of acceptances out of 500+.</p>
