Any chance: UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD or others with Low SAT scores?

<p>^^^ I’d suggest that you apply to all the UCs. I believe that at least 3 or 4 of them would offer you a spot. You may also apply to USC, Occidental College, Chapman, Santa Clara University, University of San Diego, Claremont Mckenna, Pepperdine, among others. </p>

<p>Here’s a list of colleges in California: [List</a> of colleges and universities in California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_California]List”>List of colleges and universities in California - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>No; I don’t think so. USC superscore SATs that’s why it appears that they have students with higher SATs, but in reality, it is still harder to get into Berkeley and UCLA than it is to USC. And, Berkeley is as hard as schools like Cornell, Johns Jopkins, Northwestern, Chicago, for international students.</p>

<p>how abt uni of michigan?</p>

<p>so wif a 1800 as a combined score of SAT, is this enough for USC admission?</p>

25

<p>and Georgia Tech?</p>

26

<p>No. For USC they want around a 2100+ combined SAT</p>

27

<p>so i shouldn’t go for USC? my combined SAT is 1800.</p>

<p>or do u thk I should retake SAT again?</p>

<p>im thing is it worth to the SAT again or try ACT this time.</p>

<p>HI…it seems hard to meet a, ummmm, china guy here, and i am from mainland.
i suppose your SAT score may be , somewhat low.
i got 2020 first time i took it in Asian-Expo in HK INTl Airport, and my counselor says it is hard for me to be admitted by UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>btw, TOEFL=101</p>

29

<p>Wt types of student do these unis want?</p>

<p>Apart from minorities and multi cultural background…</p>

<p>UC’s will not look at the December SAT because the deadline for admission apps is Nov. 30. UCB/UCLA are both reaches. UCSD is a high match, rest are matches and safeties. Low SAT is a definite drag, and since you are OOS, it is harder for you to get into the UC’s. Good luck!</p>

<p>so I should not apply to UCLA and UCB, instead, i should apply UCSD and UCSB?</p>
