<p>UCLA: Reach</p>
<p>Like kfc said, raise those SAT scores up to at least 680 otherwise it'll be a major reach.
However, I have one more suggestion: don't skip junior year. I'm not sure what classes you've taken, but I've found that the classes you take do give you a good experience, as does the full four years of high school. By skipping a year, you may be missing out on 'basic' knowledge that most others in college already have. Plus, high school is something you should enjoy and cherish before it's gone forever.<br>
Have fun and don't try to grow up too fast. (Jeez I sound like an old fogey)</p>
<p>I would reccomend finishing HS or not getting hopes up for any UC. The UC system is known for not accepting people without a high school diploma, even if they took the appropriate tests to leave early. My friend skipped her senior year and went to a college on the east coast a year early. She's now regretting she didn't just stick it out and get her diploma 'cause she doesn't have the best of chances at a UC. Just a suggestion. And, anyway, high school is awesome! (and so easy....</p>
<p>oh no i will be getting my diploma and everything...
I am going to be a part of the 2006 grad. class. I have taken AP Chem, AP Spanish, AP Psychology, AP calc (sophmore year)</p>
<p>why skip junior year?</p>
<p>I hate high school...and wanna get out...and i can't stand living w/my parentz</p>
<p>read this:</p>
<p>Yeah, I hated high school and being under my parents shadow, but I had to tough it off. Junior year is very important in my opinion because if you skip your junior year, it gives the admissions people a more narrow perspective of your academic, personal achievements and life challenges, the three major factors of admissions in the Freshman Comprehensive Review. Junior year is a huge chunk of that. If you do skip your junior year, they will only have your records and achievements from your Sophomore Year (they could care less about your freshman year), and your Senior year doesn't matter until you get accepted. </p>
<p>As far as high school goes.....just deal with it. We all did.</p>
<p>Okay...umm...the situation at my house is a little more hostile than most. It is also too late for me to graduate normally cause i have been taking junior classes my sophm. year...
my point is i waz wondering about admissionz w/my scores...</p>
<p>who the heck uses z for s'. i hope you don't type like that on your essays. but yes i wouldn't recommened skipping junior year either but since it's already done, good luck. if i were you, i would've skipped like.. 8th grade or something so you won't be missing out on high school.</p>
<p>"my point is i waz wondering about admissionz w/my scores..."</p>
<p>Scores are important, but it's not the only thing. You should look at it holistically. I highly suggest you get an understanding of how the admissions process works with the link i provided above.</p>
<p>I wouldn't get my hopes up. I don't know too much about the admissions at UCLA, but at UCB, those scores are on the low side, and I think the two schools are pretty comparable in what they admit, score-wise. You're gonna have to sway admissions officers with ecs and essays.</p>
<p>thank you everyone for your response:
I also have another question...(i will be readoing both the ACT and the SAT) but as of right now...which one is better ..and which one should I use (if my scores remain thesame)?</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, they look at your highest score out of all the scores that you have listed on your application. If your ACT score is higher than your SAT score (or vice versa) then they take the higher score. The only thing is, they take the highest score in one sitting, whereas at USC and some other schools, they'll take the highest score from each component of the SAT (Math, CR, Writing, etc). </p>

<p>oh yeah, in my opinion, the ACT was a lot easier than the SAT, but it doesnt matter since they take the highest score.</p>
<p>when i converted my ACT score into an SAT score, there was like a 100 point difference from my ACT score, and my regular SAT score.</p>
<p>Yes, but which score should i use? <see above="">...can anyone help me?!</see></p>
<p>which score you should use? it DOESN'T matter. the SAT's and ACT's are weighted evenly. When you fill out your UC application, they'll have a slot for your SAT and ACT scores. You fill out BOTH if you took both. Out of those two, the people that review your application will ONLY see your highest score out of the two. One or the other, not both. </p>
<p>If i still didn't answer your question, then I don't know what you're asking for.</p>

<p>If a student takes the ACT or SAT more than once, will the University use the highest score?
Yes. The University uses the highest scores from a single testing administration.</p>
<p>single testing administration = either ACT or SAT</p>
