I come from a very poor, hispanic-dominated city in California. My district is known for bad test scores, but I go to one of the "better" public high schools around here, which is still pretty mediocare in comparison to schools in nearby districts.
Besides retaking the SAT, I plan on taking 3 subject tests as well as the ACT. I'm mostly worried about my SAT score. I made a horrible mistake and did not prep at all! I'm going to buy at least 2 SAT prep books as well as online courses.
I want to apply to UC Berkeley, Columbia, NYU, Brown, Boston U, UCLA, Stanford (highly doubt it, worth a shot), Wesleyan, etc. My fall-back schools are UC Santa Barbara, UCI and UC San Francisco.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as well as other univeristies you might think I have a shot at!!!</p>
