UC GPA capped weighted and Fully Weighted? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

You look like a very qualified and competitive applicant. Intended major?

Consider UCB a Reach due to it’s low acceptance rate but you are definitely in the running.

Best of luck.

Are you a CA resident? If not there is no financial aid for out of state students. Can your family afford to pay $60,000/year.

What is your intended major ? Some are very competative

hopefully a compsci major!!
thanks!!

That is the most competitive major or close to it.

As a CS hopeful, you are either applying to be admitted directly into EECS (BS in College of Engineering) or coming in as L&S undeclared and then apply to get into CS (will need a certain gpa in certain undergrad classes). Not to discourage you, but these are both equally very popular programs and attract some very, very smart and accomplished people. You seem to have some good stats - just treat Cal is a reach. If it’s a no, you won’t be so disappointed. If you are accepted, yay for you!

You’re in decent shape for UCB, though you may want to get that SAT score a bit higher just to make sure. As the others have said though, you never know with UCB and UCLA, I’ve seen them reject kids with perfect ACT and SAT scores.

No need to worry about scores they are in the top quartile for UCB. Better to spend time on essays convincing UCB that it IS the school you want to attend.
