<p>anyone have any opinions?</p>
<p>look, it’s hard to determine whether one has a chance @ cal or not. just do the best you can, and talk about the things you loved to do in your essays, and things you want to do in the future. if berkeley’s for you, you’ll hopefully get in.</p>
<p>Well, you have good grades, good ECs, and should have pretty good test scores. I would say you are definitely qualified but keep in mind OOS admissions to Berkeley is quite tough. so it’s hard to say. Still, I encourage you to apply if you are interested. Good luck.</p>
<p>You should be fine, honestly. I was accepted as an OOS student and my resume was fairly comparable to yours. I didn’t have that many EC though, but I had lots of good AP scores and a very high SAT score and that did the trick for me.</p>
<p>You know, I keep wondering why people post these. You definitely seem qualified; if you want to apply to Cal, you should apply. </p>
<p>But it’s not like you should stop doing what you’re doing, or do less. There is no upper limit to community service, or doing well in school.</p>
<p>thanks for the replys, anyone else?</p>
