<p>Okay, so i took the subject tests in november and got a 550 lit 640 math. terrible, i know. I didn't submit those to UC.</p>

<p>Took them again today, except this time physics. predicting around a 700 math 650 physics.</p>

<p>My SAT is 2100,
My UC GPA is 4.15</p>

<p>I'm female, applying as a mechanical engineering major.</p>

<p>How likely is it that I'll get in? Will my subject test scores kill me?</p>

<p>UC’s require you to send all your scores in I thought… including all of your subject tests…</p>

3

<p>There’s score choice this year.</p>

<p>But either way I don’t think it really matters since they take your two highest scores to calculate some special number… idk that’s what i heard</p>

4

<p>yea there is score choice this year… oh I think it is that they highly recommend you don’t use it or something…</p>

<p>oh really? so they don’t even distinguish between the subject tesst themselves? so like they aren’t going to not accept you bc you didn’t take math2c?</p>

5

<p>^yeah, they recommend you don’t use it but they wouldn’t know.</p>

<p>No, you need math 2c. they take your highest score on that and your highest score on another subject (not math 1)</p>

<p>come on you guysss</p>

<p>Honestly, I don’t think it really matters. For engineering, your stats are too low. You have a small chance with great essays, but don’t count on it.</p>

<p>And for engineering, you d need math2c, I’m sorry if you don’t have it. But it’s basically a requirement.</p>

<p>You probably did better in physics than you think since it has a very cushy curve and you are interested in mech e. which makes me think you are good at physics.</p>

<p>I expected at 700-750 and got an 800.</p>

<p>the math test i took was Math II.
For engineering, are all my stats too low, or just the subject tests?</p>

<p>^ Also, I’m pretty sure I actually did get around a 650. I answered 46/75 and the highest you can get with a raw 46 is 690. I probably missed a few.</p>

<p>The main reason my subject tests are so low is because I can never finish the tests…
I’m kinda slow. :/</p>

<p>Ironically, I’m one of the best math students in my class, as well as one of the best physics students… :/</p>
