<p>1st gen will help you immensely. Try to get that SAT up a lot, if you can of course. That's what I would really try to improve.</p>

<p>what do you think about my chances at the moment?</p>

<p>BTW I'm definetly going to retake the SAT. I'm positive I can get at least a 1800.</p>

<p>i don't know much about cali schools.</p>

<p>but i can definitely tell you that your sats need to be a lot higher for occidental, pomona, and ucla.</p>

<p>Westmont and Pitzer are maybes.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>cool....anyone else?</p>

<p>come on...anyone...please??</p>

<p>i think right now UCR is the only one i'd say is close..</p>

<p>the others are kinda out of reach because of SAT? buttt. how did you do with science olympiad and stuff?</p>

<p>^Well this is my first year with Aca Dec and science olympiad. I'm confident that i can win a few awards with those groups....</p>
