What are my chances at UC Berkeley?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am currently a high school junior that recently visited UC Berkeley over spring break. I would like to know what chances I have of being accepted there. My information is as follows:</p>

<p>Highschool: Hopkins High School - Minnetonka, Minnesota (public)
GPA: 3.99 unweighted
Class rigor: lots of honors and advanced classes; I have taken 4 AP classes so far and plan to take 3 or 4 more my senior year.
Extracurriculars: I am an Eagle Scout and have served actively in leadership positions in my troop. I participate in three varsity sports:
Cross country - which I have lettered in
Nordic Skiing - which I have finished 4th in state competition (earning All-State honors) and 12th at the Junior Olympics (the national highschool competition). I will be a captain of the team next year.
Track - which I have also earned all state honors in and may possibly be a captain next year.
I have helped in many community service programs, such as mentoring young children in Minnesota Youth Ski League.
Tests:
I am taking the SAT later this year, and will post my results. As of now, I only have taken the ACT and my results are as follows:
Composite: 34
English: 34
Reading: 35
Mathematics:30 (due to the lack of a calculator)
Science: 36</p>

<p>What are my chances of being accepted? If you would like any additional information, please don't hesitate to ask me.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help and consideration,

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance considering GPA and ECs. I know that Berkeley accepts ACTbut I think most send SAT considering that the SAT is more popular on the West.</p>

<p>assuming you have a calculator on the SATs judging by your act score you should score well into the 2200-2300s</p>

<p>your ec’s and gpa are good and your course rigor is decent</p>

<p>I genuinely think you have a great shot- GPA is awesome, and ACT is great, as well- I am sure, you could get a 35 or 36 with a calculator, though :slight_smile:
plus, Berkeley and UCLA are attempting to expand their OOS admitted pool. there was an article published a few weeks ago, regarding this- I will link it, if I can find it.</p>

<p>and Hopkins High School? we are neighbors :)</p>
