This is going to kill my chances right?

<p>So I did really bad on my SATIIs. Really bad.</p>

<p>{ Math2: 720 & Lit: 660 } <-- <em>tear</em></p>

<p>My ACT is fine (34), and the rest of my app is well rounded/competitive, but is it even worth applying anymore?</p>

<p>I was going to type “is this a joke?” and then I read your username.</p>

<p>^^lol</p>

<p>why do you want to go oos anyway?</p>

<p>LOL - well I liked Berkeley, and I’m not trying to stay instate. But in all honesty is it worth it given the competitive nature of the OOS applicant pool.</p>

<p>uh i thought sat2s don’t even count</p>

<p>You can always retake them and get that Math2 up to an 800.</p>

<p>Batman17, I think this is the last year that SAT II’s count, for most or all regular applicants. Sorry about the game last Saturday…</p>

<p>If he uses his ACT scores, his SAT scores won’t count :o</p>

<p>No I’m pretty sure they count regardless…</p>

<p>I thought SAT 2’s were optional this year? Either way, the UCs don’t put much weight into the SAT 2s</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why are you apologizing to me? lol</p>

<p>a 660 is fine.</p>

<p>How were you able to do so well on ACT relative to your SATs</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I often wonder the same thing. I suppose I’m just an ACT person, and no and SAT person.</p>

<p>hah, are you kidding? i got 730 on math (only 10 above you), and i got in.</p>

<p>infact, i did bad on my SAT I. i got like 540 on one of the parts, that was horrible.
but the other two made up for it.</p>

<p>APPLY!</p>

<p>If you like Berkeley, you should apply. Maybe your math isn’t the best, so I’ll give you a little bit of advice:</p>

<ul>
<li>If you don’t apply, your chances of getting in are 0%</li>
<li>If you apply, you have a positive chance of getting in (> 0%)</li>
<li>>0% is an infinite increase from 0%</li>
</ul>

<p>Technically speaking, I should have actually been weighing the benefits of a $60 app, but that’s not really that important.</p>

<p>You actually have a really good ACT score, and they’ll probably look at that instead of your SAT IIs. I had an overall score of 31 on my ACT and got in to EECS.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>i got a 600 in lit and a 780 in math and im here. our cumulative scores are the same, so maybe you’re just okay.</p>

<p>I got less than 600 on both my SAT IIs.</p>
