<p>hi, is it bad for having 1200 SAT score for my first time on my records for UC universities do they really care about first try i need your help please. </p>
<p>Thanks </p>
<p>If your next one is substantially better I expect they will think there was some odd factor with the first one. They SAY they only look at your best score, but in that case my opinion is they would only make you send your best score, so I’m not absolutely sure I believe that. However, if you do much, much better, that will be an unusual scenario more typical if you were sick the first time, or something.</p>
<p>What!! They can look at your first score?!</p>
<p>@KaylaLGarcia different universities have different policies on whether you can use ‘score choice’ which only sends the scores you select, or if you have to send all of them. You have to look at each admissions web page for that. When my sons and I were touring UCs last summer we were told they ‘recommend’ you send them all, but you didn’t have to. However, when November rolled around, and the application was due, they had changed to requiring you send all of them. </p>
