<p>What is your UC Weighted GPA, as that is what Berkeley looks at. Anyway, it looks like you have a good shot at UCB Engineering as I know some of my friends that are in engineering did worst than you did GPA-wise and SAT-wise, but then one of them did better than you and got rejected.</p>

<p>Anyways it's a crapshoot, but even money goes on you getting into Berkeley Engineering as you're instate.</p>

<p>Thanks golden Bear...</p>

<p>I also have a question about the regents scholarship for berkeley. A kid from my school with similar stats got it, so I was wondering if I stood a chance. what exactly is the criterion for it, and what are its benefits?</p>

<p>The GPA is low for Caltech/Stanford/MIT and you don't have a substantial hook, so I'd say they're all reaches. Cornell and Berkeley are probably slight reaches, but they could be closer to matches depending on how hardcore your high school is.</p>

<p>For Caltech/MIT it should be noted that Ive only gotten "B's" in honors/AP humanity courses like AP History, etc. </p>

<p>Also my school is very competitive with 25 percent of this years graduating class going to ivies/top institutions.</p>

<p>Thanks flopsy...</p>

<p>What about MIT/Caltech/Stanford...how do my chances look there. </p>

<p>Statistics from my school.</p>

<p>Out of 40 kids...
2 accepted to stanford
1 accepted to harvard
6 accepted to UCB
4 accepted to Cornell
2 to Pomona
1 to Caltech
1 to JHU
1 to MIT
1 to Brown</p>

<p>Just about the top 25 percent, 10/40 went to such institutions.</p>

<p>So given that...what are my chances to MIT/Caltech/Stan.</p>

<p>I am from Cali too and I heard that to get into Stanford, you need to have something really special.
btw, what school do you go to?</p>
