The UC system REALLY favors grades over SAT's

<p>ramsfan, though writing on the SAT I may indeed have a harsher curve, the students who took it as a SAT II were in general smarter, because they were the ones considering more selective schools, so it isnt exactly proper to compare the two percentiles.</p>

<p>Thats why SAT II averages are usually in the 600s, not 500s.</p>
