<p>When I took the SAT in march I got a 1960 ( I know... not so great) If I don't retake do I have a shot at UCB,UCLA, or UCSD. If you think I absolutley must retake, what score should I shoot for. ( Also take into consideration that my GPA is very good....4.3ish)</p>
<p>I think you should get around 100-150 points higher to be safe.</p>
<p>You're in UCSD range, and like what joel said you need 100-150 more to be in a good median range for UCLA and Cal. To better your position in these schools make sure you get within the top 4% at your school (for ELC). That coupled with something around a 2100 should be fine enough to get you into the top UC's.</p>
