Am I qualified for UC Berkeley, etc

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>Here is a quick resume:
-High school junior, middle class white male, California resident
-4.36 10-12 GPA, and continually increasing
-2050 on first SAT, I plan on taking it again and am shooting for a 2100
-Varsity water polo team captain
-NHS chapter co founder and co-president
-Member of JSA club
-Ocean lifeguard, I think this shows a good deal of leadership, not many kids my age have this kind of job
-Summer internship at a university cancer research lab</p>

<p>I want to study molecular biology or biochemistry. I really want to study biomedical engineering but am afraid it is to competitive and I will be rejected, especially at Berkeley. How do I look for some of these schools/majors.
UC Berkeley (molecular biology)
USC (Biomedical Engineering), also my dad and both of his parents attended USC
University of Michigan (BME)
University of Washington (BME)
UC Davis (BME)
Cal Poly SLO (BME)
UCSD (BME)
UCSB (Chem engineering)
Georgia Tech (BME)
Dartmouth (Molec. bio, ultimate reach)
Thank you :)</p>

<p>I think you should try to aim for at least +2250 SAT for UCB… especially because you want to go into a competitive field. Other than that, I would say that you have a good chance of getting accepted into UC Berkeley! I think UC Davis, UCSB, UCSD would be low matches/matches. I’m not sure of the others. Good luck!</p>

<p>You’ll also need strong SAT Subject scores for math and bio.</p>
