Hi, and thanks for writing! It sounds like you have a well-rounded profile, with a high GPA and a lot of extracurriculars/leadership roles. I do recommend taking GRE again to see if you can boost Verbal (Quant is great) - for these early admission programs, test scores are quite important and the process especially is competitive for Indian applicants. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your advice, Nisha!
What would you say a strong GRE for Berkley Scholars be?
Also, how high is the competition for this particular course in your opinion?
Thanks again for your reply!
