<p>I have a 4.2 GPA and rank in the top tenth of my class
but my SATs are CR:600, Math:650, Writing: 580 (not exceptional SAT scores)
i run varsiy track, debate team, volunteer work, CSF (Cal scholarship federation), Scholar Athlete for track, Cross Country 1 semester, good recommendations, good essay written up, music
what are my chances?
be honest. :)</p>
<p>Noone knows for for sure, but your SATs are pretty low, unless you have a hook or a blockbuster essay it will be difficult.</p>
<p>contact the track/xc coach to get recruited, otherwise, with those scores, it's really really hard. unless if you're black, hispanic, or native american of course.</p>
<p>nothing makes you stand apart from the other thousands of applicants. clubs/good gpa are things had by everyone. and lots will have better sat scores. not looking good unless you're running track.</p>
