Chances of UC Berkeley?

So, ever since I was little, it’s been my goal to get into Berkeley. I’m not sure I want to go there, but I at least want it to be an option. However, in the last few years, it has gotten ridiculously hard to get into (I know people who got into Ivy Leagues rather than UCB). So knowing what to expect, whether bad or good, would be extremely helpful to my mental health!

I have a high school GPA of 3.85 (unweighted). I have only gotten 2 Bs in high school, both in art (long story. Teacher did not like me)

I am 8th in my class out of ~80 students at a small magnet/charter school
We don’t have AP or honors courses due to our small class size, although it’s a known fact all of our classes are on an AP level.

I have around 35 college credits at the moment, and will hopefully have 40 by the time I graduate (30 of these UC transferable)

SAT:
Reading: 800
Writing: 670
Math: 550 ( Math has never been my strong point although I’ve managed to get good grades in it)

I have been volunteering regularly since 8th grade (I was bored in middle school), am in 3 clubs (which, as far as the colleges will be concerned, I attend regularly muahaha), I am a treasurer for my school’s GSA club, and currently have an internship at a local museum.

I plan to apply with a stated major of anthropology (which I am currently taking a college class in).

So, what do you think? JUDGE ME!!!
