UW GPA: 3.89
W GPA: 4.226 (Only freshman+ soph)
I tried to calculate my UC GPA, but I dont know if I did it correctly…anyway its:
UC GPA: 4.27? (Soph+ Junior year)

SAT I: 2220 (750 Math, 730 Critical reading, 740 writing)
SAT II’s: Chemistry: 780
Physics: 800
Math II: 760

AP’s: AP Physics B: 5
Chemistry: 5

I am taking Calc BC and AP Physics C: Mechanics & Electromagnetism right now. I will be taking AP Bio, Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra, and AP US Gov & Pol next year.

I have over 200 volunteerings hours from a local hospital, reading books to deaf children, and helping kids with disabilities to play sports.

Sports:
2 years of Cross country, 2 years of Winter track, and 2 years of JV volleyball.

Clubs:
Med futures, Junior state of america, and quartets.

Honors: RPI Medal, NHS, Math, Social Studies, Music, and Science honors societies.

I went to the Whitehead Institute for internship demonstrations and i participated in the Robert Wood Johnson mini medical school.

Because I am posting here, it’s obvious I want to come to UC Berkeley. However, I wanted to know how is life AFTER Berkeley before making any decision. I want to have some sort of major in engineering, and one day go to medical school or graduate school after my undergraduate studies. I hear it is tough to get a stellar GPA if you go to UC Berkeley. That being said, I know medical school and graduate school only care about stats. Would going to UC Berkeley hurt my chances of eventually continuing studies after my undergraduate if I choose to go here? Are there any statistics on how many of students from Berkeley go to graduate school or medical school? Hopefully someone can comment on getting a job in the engineering field after Berkeley as well, although I am sure that it should be quite easy with the prestige that goes along with Berkeley.
