<p>What are my chances of being accepted with a below average SAT score? I am taking the ACT in hopes of rekindling any chance. I have plenty of ECs and my grades are great. All a's and my GPA is 3.95 U.W., 4.32 W. I am in the to 2-3%. How much will my SAT scores lower my chances?</p>
<p>This year's decisions barely came out. November is 8 months away.</p>
<p>I can't say what a low SAT score will do <em>decision outcomes are completely unpredictable</em>. Just do your best with the ACT, or take the SAT again.</p>
<p>In the future, post your chance threads in the chance forum: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/</a></p>
<p>Definitely take the ACT. I was accepted with a 1760 SAT and a 30 ACT and I think this is what saved me. I also have a 4.3 Weighted GPA. From this years decisions, it seems that GPA was more important than SAT, so you have that going for you. But yeah, definitely take the ACT and I think you will see a difference in the scores you get.</p>
<p>I really don't think SATs are all that important for UCLA</p>
<p>my friend with a ~1900, but 4.0 unweighted GPA got in but not my other friend who has 2280 and 3.7 unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>I've also heard of many cases of low SATs who got in.</p>
<p>because GPA is a collective effort throughout the year, a person might have a huge headache one day, that day he might screw up on SAT but one day of headache isn't going to affect his GPA</p>
