<p>I want to know what my chances are of getting into Berkeley or St Marys college if California. I'm a junior in CA & currently have a nw gpa of 3.75, weighted 3.82.

<p>I haven't taken SAT/ACTs yet. I've been encouraged to take AP eng classes/analysis classes throughout the yrs but haven't so far.
I don't have many ECs other than tutoring elementary & middle school kids a few hrs/week, 2 medals for completing law and health science academies (school programs), Interact Club (community service) during Sohp yr, & I'm currently in charge of planning a fundraiser to raise fund for breast cancer. Thats truly what I am currently dedicated too. After being informed the tragic news that our dance teacher had passed away from breast cancer after yrs of fighting, & now an old math teacher of mine found that she too has breast cancer, I was influenced to make a difference, along with family and friends, to another woman in the world, even if it means paying for only one patients treatment.My passion is to study immunology and microbiology, specifically w/ cancer. I was first interested in CSI & loved its law aspect. I dreaded having to take extra science classes though. Now that I have taken more challenging science classes, I found it very interesting & wanted to learn way more. I read Survival of the Sickest & it was a great book, encouraging me to major in a biological science. Specifically how the body reacts to pathogens and medicine, & ever since I found out the cancer news, I was more motivated to major in a science & hopefully make some kind of positive difference in cancer patients.
I know my grades aren't the best & Im definitely lacking in the ECs area, also sorry for the long post lol. Be brutally honest with me, & any suggestions on how to amp up my application or any ECs I should do. Maybe even include other colleges I should take into consideration.</p>

<p>Berkeley’s going to be a bit of a reach for you, although your ethnicity could help a little. Unfortunately without SAT/ACT scores, it’s impossible to determine if you would get admitted. Your GPA and course rigor are not outstanding, but doing very well on the SAT/ACT and SAT subject tests would still give you a fighting chance.</p>

<p>What do you suggest I do to increase my gpa at the last minute? Or ECs? & what about st. Marys? I was planning on going there first then transferring to Berkeley or a private school b/c there is a good acceptance rate for st marys transfers</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about transfers from St Marys, but for GPA the only way to increase it really is to get A’s and stack AP classes . . .</p>

<p>Alright thanks, ill work on it</p>
