<p>@berkeley17 - of course I realize that there always gonna be exceptions to the rule, and that numbers alone won’t get you into a college as competitive as Berkeley EECS. However, I think that my numbers actually will give me a big advantage over many applicants. And of course, I’m not relying on just numbers; I have some strong ECs and some major awards as well. The only issue were my essays, which I considered a little generic and cliche. But I improved them a little since I made this thread, and I’m actually pretty happy with the essays now. They may not stand out, but at least they shouldn’t bring my chances down. Anyway, thanks everyone for the advice. I submitted my app yesterday and now just have to wait.</p>
