Do I have a chance at UC Berkeley??--read on, please.?

I just got into UC Berkeley, cl of 2012. To be brutally honest, I think your GPA is a little on the low side but thats above what I got, so I'm no in position to judge that. However, your SAT is below their average. My GPA was low, but i attended a Highly Gifted Magnet school with extremely hard courses, got a couple of Cs, and ended up with a unweighted 3.5 GPA. My SAT score was 2320, which is past the 99th percentile; my SAT II scores were 800 in Math 2, 780 in US History, 780 in Chem, and 760 in Lit. I was on my school's Academic Decathlon Team, and we were third in regionals, 5th at state. I was also first stand viola in my school orchestra. I knew my GPA was way below their usually 4.0s and above, but I guess my SAT made up for it. So, in conclusion, your extra curriculars are good and your GPA is fine, but I would advise you to maybe take a few SAT help courses, memorize tons of vocab words, and take it again. If you want to look at my essay to get a feel of what I wrote and how I wrote it, feel free to ask.
