I seem to find the link you gave me a bit outdated because it would make sense that Berkeley would have a lower admission rate than LA.

Take a look at this [Profile of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2009 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof10.htm)
Fall 2010 Freshmen

When I look at that, I seem to score higher than average for all parts except the CR
After all, percentiles:
95 - maths
90 - writing
42 - reading :(((((((
Can’t be a bad SAT score with 95/90 percentiles, can it?

Plus, I took English as a second language and I’m a green card holder… wouldn’t they consider that English is not my first language so I’m not going to score amazing on CR section? I thought they would take into account the TOEFL score, which is way above what they require

And sorry, I’m not familiar, what are ECs? If you mean extracurricular activities… they only allow to add a maximum of 5 activities so I thought 3 would be enough… isn’t it?
