<p>I got a 1920, gonna retake, prolly 2000+, if im lucky 2100ish, but if kept a 1920, is that a weak score for UCLA or Berkely? Howaboud UCSD? simple question, hopefully no complex answer. gracias.</p>
<p>Just add your critical reading score to your math score. That (roughly) is what your grade would be on the old SATs. Look at the websites for the UCs you are interested in, they'll have a class profile for the class of 2009. There you can see the SAT scores of the last accepted class- giving you a good idea of where you stand. (I'm from PA, so the UCs are totally unfamiliar to me. All I know is that Berkley is where the liberals go, haha).</p>
<p>The answer depends on your UC GPA and SAT IIs because all three will be weighted somewhat equally and are tied together in the admissions process. I'd suggest you look at the <a href="http://www.ucop.edu/pathways%5B/url%5D">www.ucop.edu/pathways</a> site and see how your UC GPA plus SAT II scores stack up with your current SAT score. If your SAT IIs are higher, and you have a great UC GPA, a 1920 may not be a problem.</p>
<p>if i were you, i'd just study harder for the next retake.</p>

<p>1920 is weak for the UCs, especially for UCB/UCLA/UCSD.</p>
<p>aim for the 2000-2100 range. that's more on target for UC's.</p>
<p>czechitout: The UC's will be heavily considering the writing section. In fact, it was added specifically for them. Therefore it is not an accurate representation of your chances to add simply your CR and Math--you really must consider your entire new SAT.</p>
<p>Funkmasta, if you are in-state, and a strong candidate otherwise, I think you will be fine at UCSD and maybe UCLA, and you've got at least a small shot at Berkeley. If you are out-of-state, I would advise you to bring that puppy up as such large universities are often, unfortunately, numbers-driven.</p>
<p>Not to add any controversy, but maybe this is from only my school, but we had 12 people go to Berkley and I'd say only 2 people had above 1300. The rests were in the 1200s-1100s. </p>
<p>Was it just a fluke? Because my high school is defiantly not a competitive high school.</p>
<p>I do have to say; they were all in the top 30 out of a class of about 450.</p>
<p>SAT II Math 2C:750
SAT II Chem: 710
UC GPA:approx. 4.6
Californian Resident.</p>
<p>Does this help any?</p>
<p>That is a very good GPA and being a resident will help, but I'd still try to get the SAT I score up a bit.</p>
<p>You seem good for all UCs except LA and Berkeley. Those two will require higher SAT I.</p>
<p>you kidding?
my friend got into UCB with score of 1230 on ol SAT..and SAT2s?? dont mess with him,, he got 460 on Bio, 770 on Math2c
well he got in.... lucky aint he??</p>
<p>plus GPA he had 4.3 that's not even high,,</p>
<p>^^ A 4.3 isn't high? So california public hs grade inflation isn't a myth...</p>
<p>well our skool had three 4.8 gpa students (one of them took 18 classes at cc.. he's crazy,,well he got accepted to all UCs..)</p>
<p>alright, so basically increase my SAT I score to atleast 2100. got it. thanks a lot. But my chance at UCLA isn't even a match with my current stats? bummer.</p>
<p>funk:</p>
<p>if you are just a regular, unhooked kid at a suburban HS, try to raise the SAT to 2100+, with a 700 on Writing, to substantially increase your chances at Berkeley and UCLA. </p>
<p>OTOH, if you go to an poor performing HS, and/or are first generation and/or ecnomically-challenged, then your SAT score will be considered in context and allowances made.</p>
<p>If you are a minority show it in the essay and your gpa and other good things will override your SAT. Especially for UCLA or Berkeley. They love to read about an applicant under abject adversity who is a minority. It worked for two of my friends who didn't do that well in school, but because they had hard living conditions and were Mexicans they got in. I am not saying that race is the single most important thing to a UC. It isn't. But being a minority allows you the luxury to have lower statistics.</p>
<p>I dont think 1920 is too low with your SAT II scores and GPA, but how can you have UC GPA of over 4.5. Only 4 year long classes will be counted for grade inflation. The only way to get a 4.5 UC GPA is to have only 4 academic classes each year for 10th and 11th grade.</p>
<p>In my school last year, most of the people that got into UCB and UCLA got in the 1200s and some in the 1300s. Also, the new SAT writing section is weighted a lot harder than the old SAT II, so I wouldnt think 1920 a low score.</p>
<p>Yup. You'll need to plot out the a-g classes before you can calculate UC GPA. If you don't have all the a-g covered, you get dinged any way.
You're looking at 12 year-long classes in grades 10/11. If you had 4 of
them at the extra point level (AP or selected Honors subjects), I think
the math is something like this if you got all A's. (8<em>4 + 4</em>5)/12 = 4.33
is the max UC weighted GPA. If you got the extra points from A's in
CC classes in Summer, your UCWGPA is going to be lower than that,
when you average in the a-g grades from gades 10/11.</p>
<p>So ... those of you who're counting on UC weighted GPA > 4.33,
go count again!</p>
