Looks great. In at least one of the two. Kinda weak ECs but still stellar GPA and above average scores.

belle123 · 10-24-2008, 12:33 AM

Oh, I'm also an ELC student (top 4%, guaranteed into one of the UC campuses) if that helps.

I would say into one, or both. Your grades and test scores are superb, but your ECs have a chance of holding you back, because they might see you as a purely academic student.

Chance me back:
Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, Columbia

belle123 · 10-24-2008, 02:26 AM

thanks for your input everyone! anyone else?

PolarNs · 10-24-2008, 02:51 AM

belle123 · 10-24-2008, 03:17 AM

thanks! anyone else? i promise i will chance back!

bmun · 10-24-2008, 03:24 AM

youre above the average gpa. so thats good
i think you got good chances to both

batdoi · 10-24-2008, 03:41 AM

you have great GPAs and pretty decent SAT. The only drawback is that your ECs seem unimpressive (just like mine). I'd say you have quite good chances and it's unlikely that you will be rejected by both.

def in at one or both... i would say u are practically guaranteed at LA... Cal u should be in, but you never know

Claire1016 · 10-24-2008, 07:47 AM

In at both I would say.

Emp · 10-24-2008, 10:38 AM

The only think thats slightly weak are you ECs but regardless, I think you're in at UCLA and like others have said before, a match at Berkeley. So good chance at both

siri4fun · 10-24-2008, 10:43 AM

you're most likely in for both, but then again, it's a little tough to tell for Berkeley.
