<p>“Try the ACT with alot of prepwork. I looked you up and if you are in California top UC’s are going to be a stretch with those test scores. But for Depaul you should be set for at least admission and a tad bit of money but if you are looking at ivy league caliber schools your SAT will bring you down.”</p>
<p>@run2flyfree - For UC’s I’m most likely only applying to UC Davis and UC Berkeley, which I know Berkeley is a stretch, however I have some legacy there for some hook.</p>
<p>Depaul is my top choice however, which has about a 3.4 gpa average, which is why I’m relieved. Yes, I know my SAT sucks, however my counselor, who is more of a national counselor who travels around US, believes even with my bad SAT that Depaul is a shoe-in based off my GPA and EC’s. Because of this relief, my counselor says it’s ok to apply to multiple reach schools as long as I do fantastic on my essay and have the $$ of course.</p>
