What did I do wrong?

@sattut, are you saying that the OP is in the top 100 applicants in the Harvard/Stanford, etc., applicant pool? I think you are vastly overestimating his record. OP is clearly exceptionally bright and has great test scores (and has an amazing future in front of him), but I cannot imagine that there are only 100 applicants with similar testing records.

OP, thank you for sharing your story. I wish you the best of luck in the future. Berkeley is lucky to have you.
