<p>I got a 2110 on my SAT. I know it's a little low for the ivies, but should i retake?</p>
<p>Good grades, extra curriculars, and so on.</p>
<p>Which UC's do you suppose would i have a good chance at?
And the smaller ivies (not Yale, Harvard, etc.)</p>
<p>mainly, is it worth it to retake the SAT?</p>
<p>If your considering any ivy or elite colleges you should definetly retake those SAT's. 2110 is way to low. people that get 2170's dont even consider ivies. try to reach for 2200+</p>
<p>yes, if you want an ivy definitely retake...shoot for 2250 if you want a decent shot.</p>
<p>a bit of life : i didn't retake a 2100 and got into my dream school.
but if you're ordinary, then do retake.</p>
<p>what puts you out of the ordinary? I really don't want to take the test again! lol</p>
<p>i guess that i was a real match for the school, wrote a good essay, had good recs, overcame plenty of adversity... etc. </p>
<p>if you have time, it won't hurt to take it again though. i would've taken mine again if i hadn't taken my first SAT october senior year...</p>
<p>If you're a CA resident, you can get into any UC with that score, a good friend of mine did (also with good grades and other activities).
Ivies will be more of a reach.</p>
<p>way too low for ivies, but good enough for ucs.</p>
<p>if you can retake and do better, do so. But I don't think it's that big of a deal (considering that all else is good). </p>
<p>"people that get 2170's dont even consider ivies"</p>
<p>Um, I think I had exactly that score and got into Stanford. I think once you get past the 2100ish range and with a certain GPA you meet their academic standards and they begin to look more at the soft parts of your app, i.e. your essays and recs. Plus, my SAT score was very much skewed (suck at math, and much better at verbal). I dunno how that worked, but it was pretty clear i wasn't a math person.</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCB/UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safe Match
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Safety
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Safety</p>
<p>Ozzyb, you realize the difference between 2170 and 2200 is like 3-5 questions on the SAT. Honestly, I don't think 30 points on the SAT will affect one's decision in choosing a school that they would really want to go to.</p>
<p>Rockers, I agree with flopsy. Although I might say that UCB/UCLA will be high matches..?</p>
