UC Berkeley Admission?

Hi, I was wondering what GPA, SAT, etc. is needed to get into UC Berkeley. I am doing 3 AP’s (AP Bio, AP Physics, AP Stat) and 2 Honors Classes (Analysis H and English 11H). Also, would I be better off switching AP Stat with AP Calculus AB?

thx!

You can see the profiles of admitted students to Berkeley for Fall 2007 (detailed breakdown of GPA, SAT, ACT, SAT II, and other statistics) at: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ITU.pdf on page 37.

Berkeley has an abundance of admission info online, just download the PDFs from here: http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/general.asp?id=28

There are no cut-offs to for schools like Berkeley, because it’s the premier public university in the nation. There’s no better non-private school. Acceptance is a tough thing. I guess you should be hoping for a flawless transcript and really high SAT scores (2,000+).

I’ll tell you what I tell everyone though. Work your tail off as though it’s your only option and as though you have to be perfect to be admitted.

The reality is that someone with your talents should expect to go to graduate school after undergrad, so the college you attend isn’t quite as important as how well you distinguish yourself there.

First of all, this HIGHLY depends on whether or not you live in California. You will have an even bigger advantage if you are coming from a community college in CA.

The freshman admissions statistics can be found here:

Good luck =)
