Do I still have a chance?

I’m thinking of applying to UC Berkeley, but I’m not sure if I could get in. My grades sophomore year weren’t great (I think I had like a 3.5 unweighted) but my junior year grades are fantastic. I go to a rigorous prep school in New England so colleges usually consider how much more difficult our curriculum is relative to public schools and I’m taking pretty much the most challenging courseload possible. I also have good EC’s and a lot of leadership positions + community service hours. Do you think this will be enough to offset my abysmal sophomore year?
