Low SAT score

<p>Just wondering who got into UCD with a low SAT score?</p>

<p>I got in with 1700.</p>

<p>I had a classmate that got in with ~1200, but she also had a 4.0 GPA to go with it. </p>

<p>Probably 1200 out 1600 or a recruited athlete. I do no think any UC would accept a 1200/2400 or someone is pulling your leg.</p>

<p>Nah. It was a 1200 out of 2400. We both took it on the same test date and I remember her telling me that she thought the essay portion was really difficult afterwards.</p>

<p>I was surprised when I heard about her score, but she also had a 4.0 GPA, so you could tell what kind of a student she was. Her personal statement was probably what helped her the most, though. (She’s a cancer survivor.) </p>

<p>UCD does not care about SAT scores. I have a 2300 SAT score, but I did not get in because my 4.00 capped UCGPA is way below average.</p>

<p>UCD does care about SAT scores but GPA is consider more important. SAT scores reflect what an individual can accomplish in 1 day, while GPA reflects what an individual does over several years. There is an article posted on the site which states that GPA is a better indicator of success in college than the SAT. </p>
