A GPA of 3.0 from Berkeley is adequate and a 360 TS score is quite good. If you have some experience in the field and some good letters of recommendation, you will likely be as competitive as anyone else. I would not be too stressed out over this. The advice I usually give to people is to try to have one thing in your personal statement that makes your application stand out.
