<p>I think you’re safe for both. Just don’t screw up on your SAT and you’ll be fine!</p>

<p>bumppppppp</p>

<p>It seems like all your ECs are club based, so I would suggest doing more diverse types of EC’s. That’s the only thing that I would say would be a negative, and I’m nitpicking. Iranian American is considered as white. I know because I immigrated to the US from Iran five years ago, and they still classified me as white. Everything looks great. If I were you, I would do something that would show interest in biochemistry or the natural sciences in general, such as research or some sort of internship (summer is a great time for that, contact labs in a nearby university). Btw, also try the ACT, since many students who show promise in science and math classes tend to do very well on the test. Best of luck</p>

<p>btw, also take the math level 2 test again if you have the time, because if you can improve, it will look better. I would suggest the Barron’s book. Just study out of that one and you will get 750+. If you show that 700, it might suggest that your school just gives A’s easily in its math classes, since a 700 in math2 is not that great for the UC’s, specially for something like biochemistry (very competitive to get in).</p>

<p>advice
-take sat 2 math again
-take sat 1 march-june then take again in oct. do SAT PREP i think your sat score will be 2100~ and it needs to be higher because pharmacy is very very competitive</p>

7

<p>What score for Math II do you think would be ideal? And for the SAT?</p>

8

<p>750+ for the sat 2 math…although i got a 730…meh ok i guess. I mean if you can secure that 2100+ on the sat 1 along with those sat subjects…you’re good.</p>

<p>Pretty darn good! I’ll be the billionth replier to say that if you secure good SAT scores, you’re in.</p>
