<p>I agree with the above. I scored a dismal 530 on writing alongside a 510 in reading, and got 30’s on both subjects on the ACT. Trust anyone who says it’s easier, because it is. A lot. And before you do that, make sure to practice timing your self with the science section, the timing is a little strict on it.
Also, you’re in at UCI, UCD, and maybe, maybe Pomona and SD. UCLA,UCB,and USC are huge reaches. With your gpa, and your ec’s(not many), you’ll need a pretty stellar essay to get in. But you still have a good shot.
good luck :)</p>
<p>and just saying…no love for UCSB? :/</p>
