<p>Ok that means I have 3 chances left to improve drastically.</p>
<p>So even if my math drops to 780, and I manage to get my CR/W to about 720 each, then I can still superscore the 800 in math right?</p>
<p>Would it be wise to take both the ACT and SAT over?</p>
<p>Bump. I hate how people promise to chance back but never do…</p>
<p>Yes, you can superscore. I would suggest that you take the SAT again and then if you find that you did significantly better, I wouldn’t say you should take the ACT again. However, if you find yourself doing poorly on it, take the ACT again and see which one you did better on. I think it’s more of a judgement call, after you take the test, if you are satisfied with your score, keep it:) Best of luck!</p>
<p>If you get that CR score above 720 then i think you can get into all the schools you listed. Stats and EC wise youre matched for any school. Id say youll get into Berkeley, and get into two or three of the rest. Heck, you might get into all of them If i were you id apply EA/ED to your favorite.</p>
<p>Would I still be able to get into Berkeley if I didn’t retake SAT though?</p>
<p>I’ll still retake, just wanted to know what would happen if for some reason my CR didn’t improve…</p>
<p>shameless bumping</p>
<p>Pretty weak test score. You have chance at Berkeley and UCLA. No chance at Stanford or Ivy League</p>
<p>Berkeley - match
UCLA- match
Stanford- maybe
Harvard- probably not
Princeton- probably not
MIT- maybe
Cal Tech- maybe
Cambridge- no clue</p>
<p>Your portfolio looks pretty similar to mine. I would really advise you to look at schools that are not in the top ten. Look at the ones between 10 and 25 (based on USNWR rankings). These are up there but you will also have a good chance of getting in. This is what I am doing. I will be applying to the less top ones and just a couple of the ivies. so, you might want to do some research on schools.</p>
<p>@asian75 </p>
<p>Would I still have no chance at Stanford or Ivies if I got my SAT and ACT up?</p>
<p>retake either ACT or SAT reasoning
you have good stats and ECs (Badminton Varsity OMG)
you are in CA so the UC**s are of great chances</p>
<p>chance me back
thank you

<p>Berkeley - low reach
UCLA- match
Stanford- reach
Harvard- reach
Princeton- reach
MIT- reach
Cal Tech- low reach
Cambridge- lol WTH</p>
<p>man after they talked about ur ACT score, it made my 32 sounded like a joke…

<p>and yea I hope there is a badminton team in my school lol</p>
<p>Haha, you and I are pretty much the same person (minus the valedictorian part, congrats!)</p>
<p>I think you should apply to Duke as more of a realistic shot. Or Rice.</p>
<p>Hey Derivate, no matter what I say, you will apply to those schools anyways cuz I and none of these ppl have no idea if you’ll get in or not. I think you can try to take the SAT one more times and spend a lot of time working on your essays. Those are very important for Stanford. I know that cuz I am student at Stanford. They review your app holistically and not just purely GPA or SAT. It’s not a pure number game. Make sure your essay is very personal and illustrates your weakness. It doesn’t hurt to brag a little, just try not to be cokcy.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice asian75. Just a bit confused at this stage since I am hearing slightly different things from different people.</p>
<p>I will try my best to improve my SAT, and I know I will be able to write really solid and personal essay as well as go into depth the extracurricular activities listed before.</p>
<p>Interesting feeling-- kinda want encouragement and a reality check at the same time ha ha.</p>
<p>I meant illustrate your <em>strength</em> .</p>
<p>^ O, we’re supposed to write about our strengths? =p</p>
<p>Yeah of course. Describe some hardship you’ve overcome or something you’re really good at. Don’t make stuff up though. Exaggerate a little bit is fine,but don’t go over the top</p>
<p>Ha ha. I have to work on my sarcasm.</p>
<p>More bumping.</p>
