Chance me/Match Me Potentially delusional rising Junior

Your college advisors will definitely guide you but you should know that because it’s test blind, Berkeley is really tough with deflated GPAs. First step is recalculation by their formula, which you’ve done (remember only Soph and Jr years count). Then look at the tables for GPA admit rates by UC. Then look at majors. CS is unfortunately a capped major that has been scaled back and is highly competitive. You also can sort of get an idea of outcomes at the UCs by high school…for fall entry 2021, the last year for which you can get info, there were 33 Deerfield applicants to Berkeley, of whom 4 were admitted (and we don’t know what their majors were). Admissions by source school | University of California. The UC apps/essays are shared across campuses, so you might consider adding more UCs (Santa Cruz may be doable and is great for CS) if you’re open to the Cal States. Best of luck, rooting for you!
