DO you know if there is anything else during my senior year i can add to my applicatiion to be less in the gray area.
Would i need to write a risk essay??? OR more of just a standard one?\
thanks</p>

6

<p>Neither. Just make your essays really great -- sincere, etc.</p>

7

<p>Thanks:)
also, my rents want me to apply to berkeley but 1) i dont want to, b) i dont think i would get it.
what are the actual chances of me getting admitted?</p>

8

<p>It'd be a reach. I'd say 20% chance.</p>

9

<p>how much do uc's look at for your sat 2 scores?</p>

10

<p>SAT IIs are an integral part of admission, but obviously not as big as the SAT.</p>

11

<p>thanks:)
so as long as i dont score below 600 on my 2's my chances shouldnt be lowered for the uc's?</p>

12

<p>I would aim for the highest scores possible, of course. UCLA/Cal are going to be in the 650-750 range (to reflect average SAT sub-section scores.)</p>

13

<p>Yeah 650-750 range is a good estimate.</p>

14

<p>Well, last April I talked to a mother who told her borderline son NOT to apply to Cal as he would never get in. He is now a deleriously happy freshman at UC Berkeley! With the UC's, if you have the money, it never hurts to check another box on the application. Easy to apply to all of them with one app.</p>

15

<p>I never understood why parents would discourage a borderline applicant. Unless you think $40 is worth more to you than confirmation one way or another, always apply.</p>

16

<p>so i just found out that if i retake on eof my classes, i'll actually have a 4.0 gpa, but online to retake it i only get 1 credit for the couse and supposedly it covers 2 semesters. do colleges view the "1 credit" grade the same as the 5 credit or w.e it is from the original high school course?</p>

17

<p>i guess it wouldn't hurt to just check an extra box on the app, b/c after this, u won't have another chance to apply there </p>

<p>it just puts ppl at ease sometimes</p>
