<p>I think you have a decent/mediocre chance of getting accepted. If you are able to, you should seriously try to improve on your SAT/ACT/SAT2.</p>

3

<p>Not yet. You probably won’t get in with just that.</p>

<p>Take the SATs one more time. Hope for 2000 minimum.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>I got a 1700 SAT and 700ish SATII, but the major thing that I believe got me in was my AP scores that are all 5’s (in five subjects) and two 4’s (in two subjects) and my essay which I worked on for three months nonstop. Another major thing that will definitely get you in is if you have positions in clubs. I was president and vice president for two different clubs for Junior and Senior year and I started another club too. Showing that you have this kind of initiative is a good thing. The UC system is a holistic process. Don’t just look at your SAT scores like my asian parents do all the time. My parents thought with my 1700 I wouldn’t even get into a CSU school.</p>
