Course rigor might be lacking compared to others if you they only look at your non-senior classes. Usually people have done 4-5 APs by the time end of their junior year. Though if your school didn’t offer many APs, that might not hurt you.

Solid score on the ACT, hope you can get 770+ on the bio, study well, it was substantially more difficult for me than the math and chem tests, but that could just be me.

Ecs looks decent, any leadership? Awards?

For Berkeley, if you’re top 4% of your school, you’re in, but reguardless of ELC, you should be getting into Berkeley.

Stanford on the otherhand, is really hit and miss. I’ve seen kids with worse stats going in, but they usually have some hook. Gotta go for the knock out with the essays, don’t be afraid to expose yourself.
