<p>nice ec’s</p>

<p>if you’re in-state, you’re 50/50 in because of the scores</p>

<p>if you’re out of-state, you need at least 1450. No one cares about writing fyi. It’s a score booster, nothing else. </p>

<p>if you get 800 M and lets say, 700 CR, you’re on a fine road but remember that you can cure cancer and they can reject you meanwhile you can get a 1000 composite no ecs write a fantastic essay and they can accept you…</p>

<p>As of now for UC Berkeley: 40/100
If you get 1450+ 60/100</p>

<p>You said you would be able to pay full freight to Berkeley or UCLA? I will chance you accordingly, as out-of-staters get better odds if they are paying full freight. and URM would not have meant anything at either school if you were one.</p>

<p>That said, your EC lists are a little hard to read. And, as an out-of-stater, if you had 8 APs at B- or better, the best 8 AP classes will get one extra grade point from the unweighted. So your expected UC GPA is in the 4.2 range.</p>

<p>Berkeley: Match
UCLA: Match</p>

4

<p>Honestly man, you never know with these colleges. You have to wait. If you can do more, do more.</p>

5

<p>40% chances at Berkeley
50% chances at UCLA</p>

6

<p>since you can pay full tuition OOS that helps a lot as the state is broke</p>

<p>50% UCLA
33% Cal</p>

7

<p>with current SAT:
75% ucla
10% cal</p>

<p>if you can improve your SAT to 2200+, your chance will go up significantly. good luck!</p>

8

<p>UC Berkeley- 30/100
UCLA 60/100 </p>

<p>Just because you never know with these colleges.</p>

10

<p>def good chance to ucla (7.8/10). GREAT ecs, bring up sat scores. not as many aps jr year though whichll bring you down. 4/10 for berkley. good luck :)</p>

11

<p>UCLA is definitely a match.
Berkeley is a high match. </p>

<p>As long as your essays are good.</p>

<p>UCLA is a match. I’m not sure with Berkley. Not as familiar. Get your rank up a bit higher and you’d be in amazing position for UCLA. Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1426652-ohio-state-chances-2.html#post15144262[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1426652-ohio-state-chances-2.html#post15144262&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
