<p>Any advice. I know my SAT's are extremely low. DO I have a chance. Berkeley is the school I really want to attend. It's been my top choice all my high school life.</p>
<p>The UCs require that you do well on all three parts of the SAT I and that you take (and do well) on two SAT II scores. (and one of the SAT II scores cannot be Math I–only SAT II Math II counts).</p>
<p>Tell us how you did on these and then we’ll talk.</p>
<p>Also, the UCs look at income level and whether your parents went to college, so tell us about this.</p>
<p>25th out of 522 is not top 4%, so ELC doesn’t apply.</p>
<p>P.S. The average admitee to UC Berkeley had a 4.2 UC GPA, so 4.0 is slightly low, but if you have good SATs this could possibly make up for the GPA. Lastly, if you only just transferred to California as a senior, you may not yet qualify for California residency, although I’m not an expert on this. I thought you had to be here a year before applying, but it may be that you only have to have gone to school here for a year prior to attending (meaning, yes, the California residency would then apply).</p>
<p>After looking this up, you do qualify for California residency–</p>
<p>“to be classified as a resident for tuition purposes, you must have established your continuous presence in California more than one year immediately preceding the residence determination date for the semester during which you propose to attend the University, and you must have given up any previous residence. You must also present objective evidence that you intend to make California your permanent home. Evidence of intent must be dated one year before the term for which you seek resident classification.”</p>
<p>So, please excuse my questioning of this (above).</p>
<p>Yes, but scores are considered “important.” Think of it this way: there are plenty of students who have the exact same stats as the OP, except a much higher SAT score. A 1500 on the new scale just won’t cut it.</p>
<p>my family’s annual income is around 66000
if this helps</p>
<p>Assuming I get scores 650-700’s on the SAT Subject Test
will that up my chances</p>
<p>Also my mother has been living in California for 10 years, so when she took me in her custody(mother and father divorced) I automatically become a CA resident because I’m still a minor.</p>
<p>When you said you had 1500 SAT, did you mean 500/500/500? Because then your odds are Berkeley are not very good at all (the normal SAT I for Berkeley is around 2010).</p>
<p>The good news is that your current GPA and test scores will get you into UCSC and UCR for sure, you are a match to slight reach at UCI/UCD/UCSB, and slight reach at UCSD. You are a Reach at UCLA. </p>
<p>Yes, getting 650 to 700s on your SAT IIs will help a lot–especially at UCI/UCD/UCSB. Keep in mind that you must take the SAT IIs between now and December and you must take at least two of them to qualify to apply for admission next Fall. (And the application must be sent no later than November 30th–with the filing period opening on November 1st).</p>
<p>Good luck to you–and I hope your new life with your (now single) mom works out okay for you and her.</p>
