I know a lot of political sciences school are on the East Coast, but since I’m from Hawai’i I want to stay as close to home. I got interested in UC Berkeley and I want to know what my chances are like. Here are my stats:
SAT:1300 (660 for Math; 640 for Reading; 20 for Essay)
GPA: 4.0 UW and 4.120 W
Ranked 1 out of 47 (Come from a small town in Hawaii; about 200 students in high school)
Jobs: Former ranger at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (summer job)
Internship with the Honolulu office of Senator Brian Schatz
Sports: Varsity soccer, track and cross country
Student Body: Sophomore treasurer, junior sec, Hawaii State Student Council rep currently
Clubs: Youth and Government (vp now, senate clerk last year) HOSA
I am also a part of Upward Bound if that helps
National Honor Society (vice president, sec last year)
Community Service: The Collective (plans community events) 2hrs/week
Male
Rural high school student (90% students qualify for free/reduced lunch)
Full filipino
Immigrant/first generation American
Only one parent got a degree in the Philippines
I think I have a lot of extracurriculars but my SAT lowers my chances. My other reaches are Georgetown, UVA and UNC.
