What are my chances of getting into UCLA or UC Berkeley?
-I have a 3.6 GPA
I scored 1860 on SATs
-I am aiming for an IB diploma (hoping to stand out as there arnt many IB diploma candidates applying to US universities.)
– I am an international student studying in another country, although I am also a California resident since my parents have a house there.
-I am part of the Key Club, Stu Gov, National Junior honor society, Chinese honor society, a leadership position in Orphanage Club, a leadership position in World Vision, and I am also part of the chamber music group (an auditioned musical group with string instruments that takes only 2-3 players of each instrument…very hard to get in!)
-I have done 106 hours of volunteer work and 2 summers of internship with 2 big computer companies.
-I’ve gotten a few awards for community service for clubs at school.
– i write pretty good essays…
-Potential majors are something to do with science.maybe computers.
THANKS

UC Berkeley and UCLA are about equally competitive. You’d need an average of 650 on each section on the SAT and weighted GPAs of 4.0+ are typical.
You will need to rely on your CA residency (although I am not sure they will count you as a resident, even with the house) because it’s very hard to get in as an international student.
On the bright side, you have good extracurriculars.
