Hello everyone. I was wondering about my admissions chances for UC Berkeley. I plan on applying to the College of Letters and Sciences for Poli Sci.
Class Rank of 1 (Just under 1,000 at my school)
UWGPA: 4.0
Soph WGPA: 4.5/4.5
Jun WGPA: 4.7/4.7
Soph AP/Hnrs: Hnrs Pre-Calculus, AP European History, AP Psych
(I got 5’s on both the Euro and Psych exams)
Junior Ap/Hnrs: AP Lang, AP US History, AP Stats, AP Comp Sci, AP Human Geography
(Haven’t taken AP exams yet)
Plans for Senior Year: Intro to Poli Sci course (Its an actual college class taught by a local community college professor), AP Calc, AP Literature, and 2 of the following: AP Bio, AP Environmental Sci, or Hnrs Chemistry
Haven’t taken the SAT or ACT, but the official CollegeBoard practice tests I have taken place me around 2,000-2,100 for the SAT.
Also, I got a 1420 on the most recent PSAT. Due to the changes for the National Merit Scholarship program, it should be enough to qualify me as a Semifinalist, but I won’t know for sure until September.
Extracurriculars:
Eagle Scout, with extensive involvement and community service through my troop
Academic League Captain and MVP
Theatre (Notable roles include Danny Zuko in Grease, Frederick in Young Frankenstein, and Rooster in Annie)
Tapped Thespian of the International Thespian Society
Varsity Swim Team Captain
Water Polo (Our team competes for CIF every year)
Other factors:
Neither of my parents have earned a degree, yet both attended college
