Importance of SAT II scores for UCs

<p>I’m applying to all the UCs, but I’m looking most closely at Davis, Irvine, and Santa Barbara. My SAT I score is a 2050 and my weighted GPA is around a 3.85, but I’ve taken 8 courses at a local community college and have a 3.8 GPA there, so that will be to my advantage. My extra-curriculars will definitely help me, because they’re relatively impressive; I’ve won several national awards for music stuff. I’m wondering if I should cram for the December SAT IIs, because my scores aren’t quite so hot (in the low to mid 600s), but I have a lot of work left with apps. Is it really that important to cram for SAT IIs now, or should I just focus on my other work?</p>

<p>You are a strong candidate for Davis, Irvine, and SB even with your low to mid 600s SATII scores.</p>
