OP, I like you. I got into Boalt with 3.64/172 with a very similar STRONG upward trend (3.9/4.0/3.9 last 3 years of college). Also, don't be dumb and BLANKET. Find the money; steal if you have to. You need as many offers as you can get so you can negotiate schollies and such. Best of luck.

Thanks, that's great news.

And great advice. If you are going to get a paycheck soon, borrow now and pay parentals later. Or just apply when paycheck comes in.

This is September. You have about 2 months to earn money before you send apps in. Go sell some stuff on ebay or something, earn some cash, and send in the app. Nobody is going to be able to accurately predict if you can get into Berkeley because it's...Berkeley.
