Hey guys, I’m a Connecticut resident at one of the top high schools in the nation. I saw UC-Berkeley’s acceptance rating out of state (11%) and became very discouraged about considering the school. I was wondering if I could get some advice if I have any chance of admission or if I am simply wasting my time.

Writing: 760
