<p>@martinez15:
SAT II no longer count right? If so, I’d say you have a good chance (90%+) for all schools other than LA and berkeley. I’d say it’s more like 50/50 for LA/B. </p>
<p>@Karlzz
Your UC GPA is impossible. UC only weights max 2 courses/semester… so unless you just didn’t take that many classes…
But otherwise, I’d say your chances are pretty good. Out-of-state thing is working against you though. So I’d say you have about the same chance as martinez :)</p>
<p>I suppose I was wrong, and in that case, would you be so kind as to ‘chance’ me.
Oh, and SAT II tests do still count. It’s next year that they change (much to my dismay).</p>
<p>ECs and other stuff:
I play the oboe so I have a bunch of youth orchestras, honor orchestras stuff.
80-ish community service hours
Science club co-founder, because my school and didn’t have one
No APs, because my school is lame and doesn’t have any
Full-time summer job
Also ELC, not sure if that helps
Took a class at community college
VERY tough senior year classes
I also think my essays were solid</p>
<p>I would like my chances a lot more if I wasn’t applying for EECS.</p>
<p>@guy1
I’d say you have around a 70% chance of getting in Berkeley values GPA over standardized test scores, however your test scores are somewhat low. Do you have any technical experience?</p>
<p>If you really wanted berkeley EECS and had low stats, you should have applied to L&S CS and then transferred to EECS after getting into Berkeley. But I guess it’s a little late for that now :S</p>
<p>@martinez
Jk, since SATII do count, I say that your chances are slightly lower now (I’d say 30% UCLA, 40% Berkeley, 75% everywhere else) since your scores are very low in that regard… (spanish :(</p>
<p>I have some technical experience with EECS. The college class was a java programming class that might actually transfer to give me UC credit (I will still take whatever class that exempted from though). I also talked in my personal statements about how I’ve taught myself C/C++, Ruby, Perl, HTML/CSS/PHP and a bunch of other stuff so I hope that helps. I’ve built my own computer too. My other personal statement was about how I lived in South America for a year, which was difficult to sound deep and emotional while not being weepy and cheezey, but I think I pulled it off pretty damn good. </p>
<p>As for the standardized tests, yeah, I don’t really know what happened. I’m not too good at taking standardized tests, but the scores are too bad, so I’ll take 'em.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think you’re exactly what they’re looking for You sound like the type of person who might excel here. So for sure, I think you have a great chance. </p>
<p>Honestly, I’d say that you shouldn’t stress too much. You’ve submitted your app, and nothing anyone says here can change anything. So enjoy your xmas! :D</p>
