<p>Considering UCI, UCD, UCSC and UOP (pharmacy program). Do I stand any chance? :(</p>

<p>Your SAT score would be PERFECT on the old version. 1600~</p>

<p>seriously though, that is going to hurt you. a lot</p>

<p>Congratulations on your GPA, and good luck on next SAT's (assuming you take it again), I've seen some crazy jumps of like 300 points, so you can do it! But seriously though, good luck, otherwise colleges might start to suspect grade inflation.</p>

<p>I've had numerous of my students get in with your scores. I'm pretty certain you will get into one of the three schools.
I would also consider applying to UCSD. They will award you additional 600 points because of your socioeconomic status. It's like getting extra 600 points on your SAT test.
UOP: it will depend on what kind of program you are applying to. The 5 or 6 year program for any of the pre-professional fields might be tough. However, getting into the 7 year pharmacy program or 7 year dental program shouldn't be a problem. </p>

<p>Good luck on your endeavors.</p>
