Your file is vastly incomplete: GPA, ECs and SAT/ACT scores should be included also.

Also, as to which AP courses you should take, please take in account the major.

^ Then you're a match for Berkeley. Good luck!

A match provided your UC GPA (some weighting system used by Berkeley's adcoms) is 4.0+...

You can try comparing your stat with last year's the admitted students. GPA: 3.89 (unweighted) and 4.36 (weighted).
