SAT Scores for University of Berkeley?

Anyone know what kind of SAT scores University of Berkeley is looking for? I'm in the process of studying and it'd be really helpful to have an idea of the acceptable range.

The University of California, Berkeley (also known as UC Berkeley), is no longer considering SAT or ACT scores for admission, as they are following a test-blind policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This decision is in line with the rest of the schools in the University of California system. This means that the admissions office will not consider your SAT score, regardless of how high or low it might be.

Because standardized scores are not a part of the application review process, you should focus on other areas such as your academic record, personal essays, and extracurricular involvement.

While academics are key, admissions will also look at qualities such as leadership, character, and dedication as demonstrated through your extracurricular activities, so try to highlight those in your application. As you're writing your personal essays, be sure to provide insight into your personal attributes and experiences, and how they have shaped you.

Remember: It's not about being well-rounded, but rather about presenting a "spike," or a highly-developed specialty. Admissions offices typically favor those who have shown substantial success in their chosen field or area of interest.

All the best with your application!
