<p>Cooking was a good and original subject. I’m not sure about your chances because I’m not up to date on overseas admit metrics. Good luck shahwaiz!</p>

<p>Chance for UCB: Your stats are barely enough for an out-of-state student, let alone for an international student :confused: The low GPA will hurt a lot. But who knows, the personal statement will probably be the determining factor!</p>

<p>sat?..sat2? are u international…or in state us citizen?</p>

<p>UCB is hard for OOS, let alone international students. I think your stats are just average, and that may make it very difficult for you. I’d say UCB is a reach for you, but there’s definitely a chance for you!</p>

12

<p>i think the acceptance rate for intels is 5% or something - and u’ll be competing against Asians with crazyyyy stats. Unless you have an amazing essay, its a far reach. But then again I ve seen people with average SAT scores getting in, so anything is possible…btw did u take O/As Levels?</p>
