What are the average SAT scores for admitted students at UC Berkeley? I'm trying to figure out if my scores are solid enough to have a chance at getting in.
Since Fall 2021, UC Berkeley, along with all other UC schools, moved to a test-blind policy. This means that SAT and ACT scores are no longer considered in the admissions process, so your test scores will not impact your chances of getting in.
Instead, you should focus on other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, personal insight questions, and letters of recommendation (if applicable). These factors play a more prominent role in the holistic admissions process that UC Berkeley employs. Make sure to showcase your strengths and passions, and demonstrate how you'd contribute to the campus community.
