<p>Definitely try the ACT, the CR score will be a big issue at these schools.</p>

<p>I say go for it; you never know unless you try! </p>

<p>Though do apply to some UCs, please.</p>

4

<p>alrite. but why not UCs?
I am thinking of applying to UC Berkeley, UCLA and UCSD.
If i write a great essay, do you guys think i have a decent shot at those schools?</p>

<p>I was in a very similar situation to you. The CR score will hurt you and it will probably hinder you from acceptances to most, if not all, these schools. If you can get 700+ on that, you will have a much better chance.</p>

<p>You will most likely get into all the UCs though.</p>
