I don’t know what I would like to major in quite yet. I am thinking along the lines of Political Science or Business. </p>

<p>Since I am junior I am not completely sure where I am going to apply. But what are my chances at these schools: Vanderbilt, University of Michigan, Georgetown, Cal-Berkley????</p>

<p>You're probably in at U of M... I'd give you an "average" chance at Georgetown, and Berkley is hard to get into for out-of state students....</p>

<p>Also what are you SAT II, SAT I, and AP scores?</p>

<p>I haven't taken any type of SAT test. And I am taking my first AP class this year, so i will take the AP tests in May. Do you have any idea on my chances for Vanderbilt?? and does Cal-Berkley require the SAT??</p>

<p>University of Michigan - match
Vanderbilt - low reach
Georgetown - low reach<br>
UCB - high reach</p>

<p>north_face,</p>

<p>Do you have any suggestions for what I should attempt to bolster to make those schools that are a "reach" a "match"?? ACT scores?? more AP's???</p>

6

<p>Does Cal-Berkley reequire the SAT?</p>

<p>Sorry for the delayed response. I think a good SAT score or a higher ACT score could help a lot. That, combined with strong essays and recommendations, could get you into those schools. I don't think any of them are huge reaches. You've done the most important and hardest to change, and that's getting good grades and becoming involved. GL!</p>

<p>I'm almost certain that Cal Berkeley takes either the ACT or the SAT.
I would assume that most of the students who apply to Cal actually do take the SAT over the ACT though.
I would highly recommend you take a couple of SAT II's. Some schools require 2 of them, but I'm not sure if any of yours do. It would def help if you get a good score.
I would say that you are well qualified for most of your schools.
I think you have a good chance of Berkeley.</p>
