<p>SAT is currently not competitive for Berkeley.<br>
The UC’s (and Berkeley) do not use affirmative action, so the hispanic/mexican wont give you any points.
As an OOS student, you will be paying $55K to $60K per year for tuition because the UC’s are funded by state taxpayers. It is a public university.</p>
