<p>Bumping, I'd really love some help.</p>

<p>Hey coinlockers,</p>

<p>UCSC - Match</p>

<p>This may not be much help, since I am only familiar with UCs, but I think you stand a pretty good shot at UCSC. You have a good SAt score, high enough GPA, and your extracurriculars seem to be quite good. </p>

<p>What about those SAT 2 scores though? As long as you score even moderately well on those, I think you stand a pretty darn good shot at UCSC; I would be surprised if you didn't get in. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>That's one of the reasons I'm worried about acceptance at UCSC - I never took any SAT 2s. Very few people at my high school did, and the first time I heard about them at all was a few months ago. I now know that they're pretty important to the UCs, but I'm hoping my stats, essays, and recs will be good enough without them. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Correct me if I' wrong, but I think for the UCs you need to take at least two SAT 2s. I believe that's one of the admission requirements.</p>

<p>My advice: Sign up to take those SAT 2s as soon as possible, you still have time!</p>

6

<p>No, you're right. I can't believe I looked over that! I haven't prepared to take any, and the last chance for me to take them would probably be November 4th. I don't think I'd be comfortable taking them that soon, but I'll think about it. Thanks for letting me know.</p>

<p>Help with the rest of the colleges, please?</p>

<p>coinlockers:</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCSC: Match</p>

9

<p>I'm actually not a California resident, but thank you.</p>

10

<p>Alright, so any help for colleges other than UCSC? I may also add Warren Wilson to my list, as well as UGA (in-state).</p>

11

<p>i don't really understand how your SAT score is a 1250/1900 when your subscores add to 1900/2400.. but based on that and the rest of your stats i'd say Skidmore is probably a match</p>

12

<p>If you're not a California resident I think any of the UC's would be a reach.</p>

13

<p>coinlockers:</p>

<p>UCSC: Slight Reach (out of state)</p>

14

<p>I have a 1250 out of 1600, and a 1900 out of 2400. Sorry about the confusion!</p>

15

<p>I don't plan on applying to UCSC anymore, but am unable to change the post any. I'd love help with the OTHER colleges, if at all possible. Thanks.</p>
