CLONE?! lol

Alright so I’m a student at Cal, I transferred, am a psych major, skipped a grade due to middle college in the Bay Area (College of San Mateo), and my stats were near identical to yours!

I honestly don’t even know what to say lol.

I had a 3.74 GPA, prereqs completed with a 4.0, 150 volunteer hours, full IGETC, etc.

However, I admit I applied as a double major (phil and psych) and put phil as my primary major for Berkeley. I’m not sure if that had any bearing on the decision to admit me, but I didn’t apply as a pure psych major. I can tell you though that many students with stats similar to yours were both admitted and rejected over the last few years. If we’re considering a dimension, you’re probably right on the borderline. Psych is impacted/capped, so it’s very selective. Your essay and/or interesting life experiences should sway the adcom’s one way or the other. Overall, I really would say you’re 50-50 for Cal, leaning slightly to an acceptance.

Anyway, I wish ya the best, and let me know what middle college you were at!
