<p>You could take Calculus your senior year. </p>

<p>I can’t tell you if you’ll be able to get into UCSB, UCI, or UCSD base on your stats. Your personal statement is part of the determining factor of whether or not you’ll get into the UCs. </p>

<p>ok thanks and what do need to improve in my academic curriculum?
ap calculus, higher sat scores?</p>

4

<p>oh and i have a question
is it a disadvangate not taking AP calculus in my senior year>?</p>

5

<p>thanks but honestly im not good at math so
i decided not to get like C or D in Ap calculus by not taking it
but to make it up i could take another ap class
is that ok?</p>

6

<p>4 yrs of math is not required, but strongly encouraged. AP Calc (AB or BC) is a de facto MUST for top colleges. Does your school offer regular Calc?</p>

7

<p>no our school doesnt ha then thats the problem
i was thinking of taking ap psychology instead is that ok?</p>

8

<p>You need to take the SAT2 math 2 to be eligable for UC’s. So if you do that and get a 700+ i think you have a shot at all of them</p>

9

<p>your EC not that impressive, and you subject test honestly getting korean 800 not that impressive since you are a korean. if your major is science related, absolutely math2,
otherwise no chance for top tiers uc</p>

10

<p>what i have to? is sat math 2 mandatory?
i thought i need to take 2 sat subject test to be eligible…
and im not in science major im thinking social study maybe</p>
