What are my chances of getting into UC Berkeley and University of Southern California?

Posted by admin under southern university marching band

I have a 4.24 total gpa… 4.33 for the UC gpa (I’m a senior)
My SAT scores are 1820… i know not very high. (740 in math though)
My Sat 2 scores are M2(670) chem(560)
I’ve done cross country(MVP and coach’s award) and track
Jazz Band (A Period), Marching Band, symphonic band
Been in Mock Trial, Science Club, Science Olympiad, Science Bowl where i’ve won various awards.
Been in Key Club where i’ve done community service(50+hours) and I am also in my schools Robotics Team.
I work for JKB Homes where i spin the sign…
I’m been in CSF for all 4 years. I also play for my Church’s orchestra every sunday and go to practice every thursday. Got a 3 on the AP Chem and English Language Tests. I’ve also taken a college class at the nearest Junior college where I recieved an A in History 101. I’ve gotten 4 B’s during my whole high school career. I’ve taken 7 AP classes. I’m also a full mexican if that helps any and I’m a first generation college student. My class rank is 10. Thanks!

Even if UCs aren’t allowed to use race they still do, especially Berkeley. They look at the socioeconomic background of every undergrad and as a graduating senior here at Cal, i can tell you there are plenty of people here that didnt have the fab SAT scores. You have a solid gpa, I think you have a great shot!
Good luck!,
A fellow first generation mexican =)
