<p>UC capped = only 4 honors/AP courses count, right? Oh well, I still have a 4.30 then. Hmmm, if the average uncapped GPA for Berkeley 06 was 4.26, then 07's will probably be 4.27 right? Being nearly 0.2 GPA points above this already high average should be good I guess...</p>
<p>How about these places:
Caltech
Cornell (has CS, right?)
MIT... I guess
Harvard, under a language major, just for fun (or would it be a complete waste of money)?</p>
<p>vgcoder, collegeboard data is outdated. I believe the admit rate for the class of 2010 is 23.6% for Berkeley and 25.5% for UCLA.</p>
<p>For 2006, it's 25% in state. <a href="http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp%5B/url%5D">http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp</a></p>
<p>What would my chances at Cornell and Carnegie Mellon be?</p>
<p>vgcoder, </p>
<p>Harvard - 20%
MIT - 20%
Cornell - 50%
Caltech - 30%
CMU (CS) - 45%</p>
<p>UCLA, UCB (if instate): Safety
UCLA, UCB (if out of state): Safe Match
UCLA, UCB (if engineering): Safe Match
UCLA, UCB (if out of state and engineering): Match</p>
<p>Come on, if this guy's instate and he's not applying to engineering, there's almost no way he'll get rejected (assuming his essays aren't bad).</p>
<p>Agree with the above. At my non-Cali magnet, about 80% of people with decent stats (92+ averages, 2200+ SATs, a few APs) get into Berkeley. UCB/UCLA aren't quite as formulaic as the lesser UCs are, but they're still much more deterministic than the top privates.</p>
<p>Haha, so my school of choice is nearly a safety school... I looked at the EECS department at UCB, and it says that a determining factor is "demonstrated interest." It seems that if anything, I have a better chance of getting into UCB under an EECS major just because most of my EC's have to do with stuff in that area.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley's engineering has the lowest acceptance rate at the school. EECS has an acceptance rate of 13% (lower than some Ivies). There have been 4.0 UW/2400s who get rejected.</p>
<p>You're no safety at UCB engineering (but you have a good shot).</p>
<p>...ouch, 4.0/2400 rejected?</p>
<p>The 4.0 2400 Cal reject, if there is such a thing, was probably out of state.</p>
<p>What makes you say that? UCB Engineering is almost as tough as Stanford/Caltech early.</p>
<p>Can you give me a %? I like numbers.
Aw man, I know I have crap chances at Stanford/Caltech so I really want to go to UCB. UCSD/UCLA just wouldn't cut it, and Cornell and Carnegie Mellon... well I'd prefer UCB. Oh well.</p>
