<p>2 Great Essays
1 Good Essay</p>

<p>A couple of questions.</p>

<li><p>What are my chances?</p></li>
<li><p>I, due to me being extremely sleep deprived during the time of submitting or having heard wrong from a classmate, accidentally submitted my SAT II Math II score (my worst), in addition to my other scores. I understand they take the 2 highest scores, but even having that 580 on there is an eyesore. Will this negatively affect my application? Should I/Can I attempt to have that score removed from my application?</p></li>
<li><p>How high of an ACT score would I have to get to have any noticeably better chances for my admission.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>Hi Kenzen,</p>

<p>UCB: Reach
Compared to other applicants, your GPA and SAT scores will make this a bit tough to get into. Also, other applicants may have stronger extracurriculars.</p>

<p>UCLA/UCSD: Slight Reach
Compared to other applicants, your GPA and SAT scores will be slightly lower. Your SAT II scores could also use a bit of a boost too; additionally your extracurriculars will not exactly make you stand out. </p>

<p>UCD: Match
You stand a pretty good chance of admission due to your fairly high GPA and SAT score. However, slightly higher SAT II scores would have helped. </p>

<p>UCI: Safe Match/Match
Your high GPA and high SAT scores will give you a great chance of admission.</p>

<p>UCSC: Match/Safety
The above says it all; you have a high GPA and good SAT scores. You stand an excellent chance of admission. </p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>
