<p>Hi, I'm just wondering how much will being an Uner Represented Minority affect my chances in getting into Berkeley Civil Engineering
4.25 UC weighted GPA
1520 SAT's</p>
<p>I am a Cal resident, just moved here my senior year from Guam
I'm an Pacific Islander(Saipanese) and half Filipino</p>
<p>1520 old or new SAT?</p>
<p>If old SAT then you have a good chance!</p>
<p>Unfortunately the new one
I already know I have extremely low chances in getting into berkeley
I just want to know how much being an URM will help my chances.</p>
<p>It will not help at all, race/ethnicity no is no longer a factor in determining admission after the banning of affirmative action. BTW, I don't think you are a URM at Berkeley, Asians are a majority group. Good luck though.</p>
<p>Asians are an ORM.</p>
<p>Any help that URM brings would probably be negated by the fact that you're applying for a competitive major.</p>
