Chance me? 3.9

The part about SAT not being AS important to Cal does seem to be true. I do think, however, that the gap between that approach and UCLA’s is filled by things such as extracurriculars for Cal. I don’t believe that UCLA considers SAT scores on par with GPA, and the like, unless you’re talking about impacted majors. A lot of my friends at school couldn’t hit 2000, but their GPAs were comfortably above the average. I only think SAT comes into play for engineers and people with slightly lower GPAs (ie. the 3.9), but, again, nothing from the members of my graduating class who went to Berkeley L&S would suggest anything significantly different there.
