I got into Berkeley. 99% of those who get in are ranked at the top 5% of their class. It's easier than you think to get in. I'm going to be valedictorian and my scores were decent. They need at least 3 SAT II subject test.

The average GPA is 4.3, and the average SAT 1 scores are around 1300-1400. You need 3 sat 2's: math 1 or 2c, writing, and one more of your choice. Berkeley is supposed to be a nice college town, but it's really small.

99% are NOT in the top 5%, don't just make up stats...


Don't let the gpa scare you, berkeley does 'comprehensive review,' so it looks at other qualities in each applicant. I got in with a 3.6 uc gpa. don't gotta be a complete nerd to get in.

Yeah you're right. My stats are wrong. I apologize. Come to think of it, I know this person who got into Berkeley with a 3.0 GPA. I'm not kidding you.
