<p>A higher GPA and SATs will NOT equal 1,000 more points. Assuming a conservative estimate that, instead of a 1910 you get a 2250, that would boost your total by 272 pts. Your GPA was a 4.11, and the maximum is reasonably 4.33 (I REALLY don’t see how you can get a 4.5 on California semester standards). That would boost your score by 220 pts. In the end, you end up having 500 pts anyways. </p>

<p>I can see how not doing a JV sport could affect your admissions, but unless you seriously consider yourself borderline, you should read too much into what 200 pts would have done to your application.</p>

<p>Sports don’t help that much at UC’s, who look for serious academics. Most of the Berkeley Regents’ candidates I know did not do any JV or varsity sport.</p>

<p>It’s a good idea to close this thread and start posting your decisions in the huge-ass thread “Decisions are Up!” :)</p>
