Hey guys,
I made a huge mistake and i’m wondering if I have anytime to fix this.
So basically, my GPA is a solid 3.8 UW/ 4.2 W. I also have plenty of extracurricular activities including internships and president of two clubs (plus more) Although, my SAT/ACT score is very low. I am applying to college this fall and both my scores have been horrible! My SAT score was around a 1560 and my ACT score was a 26. I want to get a 29, but this September is my only opportunity to do so, and I am very nervous. I was just wondering if I would be able to get into UCI with these achievements, and any specific way to improve my act score? I shouldn’t have waited until senior year to perform standardized tests. I have been studying for the ACT and do believe I can improve. Do I have a shot at going to college? I’m really nervous. Please help 
Thanks…
SAT score 1560 out of 2400 or 1600?
Intended major? In-state CA?
What other schools are you looking at?
out of 2400. I have raised it to about 1880 though.
And i’m looking at NYU or local UC’s, such as Davis, San Diego, and Irvine.
Intended major? # of AP/IB or DE classes?
I’m not sure about intended major, my plan is to go in a major such as philosophy or history and then apply to medical school or dental school or even business school. I have taken AP Euro, bio, lang, and Calc AB in which i have passed all except bio, due to time management. I’m not sure about DE classes?
UCI: Match they like higher GPA over test scores plus your major should help
UCD: High Match
UCSD: Low Reach
Add UCSC/UCR and some Cal states for more Match/Safety schools. Bumping up your test scores would help.
Good luck
if I get my ACT score up to a 29 how will that look like?
