saeraxD: I agree with vicissitudes on this one -- reach. Good GPA/scores (minus the SAT I and the last SAT II), weak ECs.

calivla: You're in pretty good shape, so I'd say Berkeley's a match.

thethimble: Though overall you seem to be a strong applicant -- good GPA, average SAT (minus the math score, which is above average), average ECs -- EECS is a competitive major, and undeclared engineering even more so. Since your ECs don't really demonstrate a focus or a passion for something as competitive, I'd say a slight reach, though you do have a good shot.

y7bbb6: Though your SAT is obviously great, your GPA (which is most important) isn't. Your honors/awards are very good, too, though your ECs less so. So I'd say Berkeley's a reach.

saasaa: Your GPA seems to be fine, though your scores are subpar. The fact that you've taken classes outside of your school and succeeded in them will look favorably on you. Your ECs are average. Your first-gen status will help you. I'd say match (maybe a high match).

vicissitudes:

I don't know how UCs weigh honors/AP courses from other states.
I'm pretty sure that UCs don't weight honors courses for OOSers.
