I'm a psychology (BA) major at uc berkeley, I was wondering if someone could shed some light on how much being a nonscience major will affect my application.

Even if I have a high GPA/DAT will I be at a disadvantage to applicants who are hardcore science majors?

No, schools like diversity. If you have a strong DAT score you won't be looked at any differently than the applicants with science majors.
