<p>I know the general requirements for berkeley in general are 3.8 UW+ and 2150+ SAT but I don't hear any solid numbers for CoE or specifically EECS. Is it like Ivy admissions where they take the any one of the best who show a specific skill? Or is it more of a more severe numbers based game like 4.0 UW and 2300+s'</p>
<p>Back when UC Statfinder was up, the most recent data (2008-2009) indicated good (but not certain) chance of frosh admission to L&S with either 4.0+/2100+ or 4.2+/1800+ and good (but not certain) chance of frosh admission to engineering with 4.2+/2100+. It did not break down engineering by major (although selectivity does vary by major for engineering; EECS is the largest engineering major). GPA here is UC-weighted, which is typically 0.3 to 0.4 higher than unweighted 10th-11th grade a-g GPA for students taking a decent number of honors/AP courses.</p>
<p>Selectivity may have changed since then.</p>
<p>Weighted on the 4.4 ish scale of Uc gpa?</p>
<p>Did it say anything about uw or importance of uw?</p>
<p>4.2+ UC-weighted GPA for Berkeley applicants generally corresponds to 3.8/3.9+ unweighted, since almost all applicants to Berkeley have at least 8 semesters’ worth of honors courses (including AP).</p>
<p>If UC Statfinder were still around, we could select unweighted GPA instead, but it isn’t.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, i think i have a solid chance</p>
<p>Another quick question: does CoE (or berkeley in general) cap their admissions for schools? Say you are well qualified, but their are bunch of students who are even more qualified than you are. Do they cap on the amount of people that they let in if there are too many “qualified” students?</p>
<p>I highly doubt there is a “cap,” on qualified students with an engineering dept. acceptance rate around 12%.</p>
<p>I meant cap from a specific school, say not letting in too many students from one school.</p>
<p>UCB does say that one of the factors in its admission process is “geographic diversity,” so it’s possible there are caps on highly competitive areas - Bay area, etc. but it’s pure speculation.</p>
<p>Still, looking at the data from my high school, there there does seem to be a bit of consistency in the number of people they admitted over the past few years~ 30-33% of our applicants typically received admission each year from the 2008-2013 application cycles on Naviance. Interpret that however you wish.</p>
