What are my chances?

I'm currently a senior in high school and is planning to apply to UC Berkeley. What are my chances of getting accepted? How much will my low SAT score, and my lack of work experience affect me?

-Current school rank: top ten (ELC status)
-Weighted GPA: 4.47
-Unweighted GPA: 3.83
-SAT: 1520
-Volunteer hours: 120
-Extracurricular activities: dance (9+years), piano (8 years)
-guaranteed admission to UCD
-live in California


When i graduate, i would have taken:
-4 years of English
-5 years of math
-4 years of science
-3 years of social studies
-4 years of foreign language

[includes 4 AP courses]


Please be honest...thanks!!

Your SAT score is extremely low - I think it will prevent you from getting in. Retake it or take the ACTs. There is still time

Take the SAT again. More EC please... you have almost nothing (comparing to others).
But over than that, GRADES are great.

I agree. Your SAT score might limit you from getting into that school. Unless its out of 1600

We're only compared to people in our own school right? The average SAT score at my school is only in the high 1400s. Only a few people get the 1900s...Perhaps this will help?

Sorry to be brutally honest, but your SATs are down right pitiful. You need to take them again and do much better. If you can raise that to around 2000+ then you will have a good shot. Chance me please?
Chance me for Villanova ED?

You're joking right GCO? If not, that definitely downplays your rank and Weighted GPA in my opinion.
