<p>If econ and accounting is your major then you’d want to go to UCSB but may be a reach unless prepared. Your other best option is UCI for a backup and is within reach. UCD is possibly in reach but not the best match for you. USC is private and not part of the UC system and is prolly a high reach but not out of the question.</p>

<p>I am appreciate for your response~
in fact I am still deciding the major, just feel good for economic and accounting
I know the econ or accounting major in UCD is just so so
but since UCD is my dream school since my freshmen year… I really want to go to UCD</p>

<p>bum bum bump~~</p>

<p>While your 710 in the Math SAT is a strong score, I am afraid the 480 in CR is going to be so far below the average of CR scores of students UCD accepts it will be a real reach for you. Your only real chance is to apply as an engineering major where they generally only care about your Math SAT score.</p>

<p>I know my CR is low, I am going to take the SATI on Nov. and I think I will have a better score in the next time, your advice is really helpful for me, thanks so much!:smiley: The most thing that now I am concerning is my GPA, I am afraid it’s too low compares to others…:frowning:
I have a friend went to UCD and he said the civil engineering in UCD is very good.</p>
