<p>Recs don't mattah for here, but they might you into that other school across the bay. You seem like you are a strong applicant, so, depending on where you're from, you have a very good to 15% or so chance. Roll the dice, and see what happens.</p>

3

<p>You're saying he has a less than average chance?</p>

<p>If we say yes, that'll make you more happier. If we say no, that will make you depressed. Why don't you just apply and see what happens. Sometimes, even 4.0's get rejected and sometimes even 3.0's get accepted. It all depends how competitive the applicant pool is and that information we is impossible to obtain.</p>

<p>Berkeley is not as hard to get in as you think.</p>

<p>It does depend on the major, I wouldn't say Berkeley is not as hard to get in as you think when you apply for a engineering major.</p>

<p>HypnosX, how hard does "you" (whoever that is) think Berkeley is to get into?</p>

<p>A lot of factors go into things.</p>
