<p>Well, I think this should be no problem for Cal State. As a matter of fact, it's probably a bit too good.</p>
<p>No i meant UC Berkeley</p>
<p>oh then the SATs are a bit low
but it would help you a lot being mexican</p>
<p>They dont practice AA but try mentioning in ur essays that ur mexican i guess</p>
<p>Yep SAT a little low but you should probably get in.</p>
<p>Crap, do you go to Compton High?</p>
<p>no i go to centennial high. and u?</p>
<p>Your whole situation leads me to say that you will get in to UCB.</p>
<p>why is that?</p>
<p>mikecerang,

-"Im from an underserved high school, minority, first generation college student, financial issues"

<p>That's what I meant by "situation."</p>
<p>lol thanks</p>
<p>mikecerang,
Any time.</p>
<p>bump........</p>
<p>bump.........</p>
<p>um ..</p>
<p>like collegebound said above you being Mexican doesn't help things, however being first-generation should</p>
<p>and try to bring your SATs up to 2000 at the least</p>
<p>You should get into Berkeley, but you never know. What other schools are you applying to? Also, send in your ACT scores instead of your SAT, unless you improve them. Good Luck.</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
