| I thought I'd chanced you before, unless something has changed.
I'd say high match (~60%), possibly a match if your essays are great.
I also find it funny that you assume I know what "y yo" means. =p | |

| Linguistics is the scientific study of language, not any specific language. I could've taken French or German in high school. =p
(But yes, I'm fluent in Spanish.) Quote: |

| I believe that within each admissions team (at Berkeley, for example) there are people assigned to different regions. If a school has many applicants to Berkeley, an entire school's applicants will be assigned to the same people. | |

| ^ arizona girl, I would say high match! You have a very small school, my class has 629 students. You're doing plenty, academic and co-curricular wise, taking into consideration your school doesn't even offer AP classes. | |

| philoglossia: even for an OOSer, it's a match. Overall, your application is very strong, and I wouldn't be surprised if you got into HYPS. (Then again, perhaps that's a reason for Berkeley to reject you, as they assume you're going to attend another school.) | |

| Thanks!
You're right- Y is where I really want to go, but Berkeley is a pretty close second and a lot cheaper than HYP as well, even for out of state. And the weather is way better too  | |

| I'll do a brief one also.
SAT1: 2130
SAT2: 730, 660
UC GPA: 3.97
Weighted GPA: 4.0
9 AP's and many (I forget) honors classes, overall rigorous courseload

According to feedback I received, one essay is merely great while the other was outstanding
Enormous upward trend (think 2.8 to consistent 4.6's and 4.8's)
EC's: Without a doubt my weakest point, very average | |
