<p>On my first SAT, I got 2150 because of really stupid mistakes and little preparation. On subjects, I got a 770 in math II, 790 in chem, and 800 in us. </p>
<p>My SAT I score really seems fatal as is.</p>
<p>I am retaking it October with lots of practice, but in the case of some nightmare scenario that my score stays static, can I scrape by into Cal/UCLA with my current marks? (GPA is very high and ECs are above average)</p>
<p>Very good. 2150 good enough. You can give it another go. if you want.</p>
<p>Yeah 2150 is a good solid score for Cal/UCLA. It certainly doesn’t hurt to try again. I’m sure you will be fine.</p>
<p>better than me xD</p>
<p>That’s a pretty solid score actually. You could push it up more if you have a lower GPA</p>
<p>better than mine, too.</p>
<p>Thanks, any other opinions? (again, my GPA is already quite high, with ELC in clear sight, and my ECs are above average, but not astounding))</p>
<p>I think you’re fine. Just write a couple of solid essays.</p>
<p>You’re in! Congratulations.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>those are solid scores. since that’s your first score, you can always try again and try to get 2200+. 2200+ is solid for most top schools.</p>
<p>I’d be extremely surprised if you did not get in, even if you had crap essays. Your current SAT score is extremely solid. I’d recommend retaking it once just to see if you can improve it to raise your chances for Regents Scholarship or give you a boost for any private schools you are applying to.</p>
<p>2150 is OK for most majors at Berkeley and most universities, in fact. I would treat your second time taking the SAT as a “bonus run” where, regardless of how you do, you still are going to get into at least one of Berkeley/UCLA. That extra confidence and nonchalance will do you wonders. Aim for 2400 ;)</p>
<p>You should be fine.</p>
<p>Got a 1480 and got in.</p>
