your chances are excellent, assuming you wrote an awesome essay.

btw: the UC-gpa is weighted (up to 8 semester's worth)

bluebayou - Yeah, I made a typo. My UC GPA is 4.2.

thisistony - Yeah, I guess I'm over-reacting a bit. I'm just concerned since UC Irvine is the ONLY place I've heard back from for Regents and what not (I expected to hear back from Davis, Santa Barbara, and maybe San Diego as well...but I guess it's still a bit early), and the competitiveness in the admissions between Irvine and Berkeley is supposed to be HUGE.

You shouldn't have too much to worry about for Berkeley. Remember, Regeants can be quite random sometimes. Just because you get Regeants at Berkeley doesn't mean you'll get Regeants at any other UC. Some goes for the other way around.
