Depends on how rigorous your school is. If you can improve and get straight-As later on, colleges will recognize that you improved at the hardest available courses. They like that. You’re still competitive to places like Carnegie Mellon, Wash U and Austin. Berkeley is probably a reach now, but at 17% it’s a reach for most people. If you have competitive ECs you should definitely still apply to UCB.
