<p>Bumppity. Taking SAT’s this weekend, hopefully good SAT II’s scores. ACT in two weeks, looking for a 30 and taking SAT I’s again looking at a 2000…</p>

<p>Add the Cal Poly’s to my list.</p>

3

<p>any awards in jsa, debate, swimming, etc?</p>

<p>improve your sat scores drastically
i’d say reach at all…match at ucsb and uci slight reach at davis
you need to emphasize your teaching goals and desires…if you do that you could get in at some of your reaches</p>

4

<p>because of your sat scores, reach at all except ucsc
if you can get it to 2000 then you have a match at uci, ucsb, and ucd</p>

5

<p>You’ll also need to calculate a UC gpa, weight only 8 semesters from 10-11th grade.</p>

<p>Lets say your UC GPA was 4.0, you’d be a
UCB - REACH
UCLA - reach
UCSD - reach
UCSB - slight reach
UCI - slight reach
UCD - slight reach
UCSC - match
USC - reach
Columbia - big reach
Cornell - big reach
NYU - reach</p>

<p>And don’t know about the others..</p>

6

<p>Wait, you said AP’s aren’t offered. That changes a lot of things…</p>

<p>And if you reach 2000, your a match for UCSD, and slight reaches imo to B and LA, USC.</p>

7

<p>My UC GPA is 3.85. Meh I think I can do better on the SAT’s, but not dramatically better. What should I try to aim for?</p>

8

<p>hump da bump</p>

9

<p>Why only UC’s? How about a few Cal States ( maybe Chico, Humboldt?), University of Santa Clara, Occidental. Still won’t be “matches” with the current stats, but don’t rule them out!</p>

10

<p>I was thinking maybe SCU, but as for CSU’s I’m only thinking of the Cal Poly’s. Asian family’s all about prestige, so yeah…</p>

<p>Eh, I know my SAT scores are a bit low, but I felt like my GPA was pretty good…</p>

11

<p>GPA IS really important, but with the mid tier UC’s SAT’s count a lot in the formula as well. Cal Poly is a tough nut too…best wishes!</p>

12

<p>Mmm agreed. 1790 is at the 80th percentile. I’m confident I can score higher in the Math section. most likely around a 700-750. Reading I can probably gey 650-670. Writing…SHOULD DIE. Therefore I’m going to take ACT where they take science in consideration. Probably score a 29.</p>

13

<p>Sounds good. And so does the 1790. Good luck! </p>
