This is still a very solid GPA that shouldn’t preclude a sensibly hopeful application to any of the schools on your list, especially given the totality of your application. But, huge but, unless you are automatically in at UT given the formula they use and you would be happy to attend UT, what about some safety schools, maybe a couple of other state flagships that are more predictable in admissions than Berkeley and have excellent science research opportunities??? Even an extremely strong candidate for top schools – and you certainly are one – needs to have safeties.
