<p>thank you for the reply =)</p>

<p>so I'm guessing the only way I can increase my chances is to improve my SATI score?
Would a 2100 be a lot better for UCLA/UCB?</p>

4

<p>yup. 2100 and 2000 are huge difference since so many ppl get 2000. I read its like an 80 percent more likelyhood of getting accepted to UCLA or UCB if u get a 2100 than a 2000</p>

<p>thanks =)
I'm worried I won't get a 2100.. my last chance : ( But I'm glad UCB/UCLA are slight reaches. I thought they would be "reaches" for me</p>

<p>Also, I thought lower scores would not make much of a difference since I applied for E. Asian studies for these schools...</p>

6

<p>I'm just wondering....what exactly are you going to do with an Asian Studies Major?</p>

<p>international business. I'm planning on double majoring along with economics or business</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCD/UCI: Safe Match</p>

<p>ucs dont allow double majoring unfortunately. there are too many students too allow double majoring or studnets wouldnt get the classes they need.</p>
