<p>Looks strong. Your EC involvement is above average...just make sure you do well on your SATs and you should be set. Judging from your experiences, you should be able to write some good essays.</p>

<p>your unweighted GPA might hurt your chances. when you calculated the UC GPA you took into account that Cal caps weighted gpas at four AP/Honors classes, right? your weighted GPA is still pretty impressive but from my experience most people who get into UC Berkeley have unweighted GPAs of 3.7 or higher. (at my high school, you're not allowed to take any AP classes sophomore year). </p>

<p>otherwise, your chances look pretty good. a good SAT score (2250+) will boost your chances and try to get 750+ on your SAT IIs. your ECs look pretty good and your volunteer/work experience is really good, imo.</p>

<p>best of luck!</p>
