University of California & SAT Subject Tests

Applying to College
1

<p>To preface, yes, I know UC has closed off admission. I submitted an application in November and it's in their database; I have, however, neglected to pay the $300 in application fees I owe them. </p>

<p>I have until February 15th to pay for my 5 applications that I submitted to the University of California. My problem is that I've taken the ACT and SAT, but I did not take any SAT II's. I can't get a definitive answer on <em>how</em> required they are... will they throw my application out if I haven't taken any? Am I just a long shot? Or will they overlook it if everything else is in order?</p>

<p>I have ACT and SAT scores in the 99th percentile and I have multiple AP credits (3 in areas which the SAT II tests). So do I pay the fees and get my applications considered or do I abandon all hope and use the money to apply to more viable universities?</p>

<p>And as a side note, I am applying for the Class of 2011.</p>

<p>I don’t personally have the answer, but I know someone who does- admissions. Call/e-mail them about a highly qualified application that lacks SAT subject tests. They’ll let you know what impact it will have.</p>

<p>They’ll probably still consider you as an applicant, but it WILL impact your chances, especially if you applied for engineering.</p>

<p>Edit: You’re not applying for class of 2011, unless you have a time machine that goes back to 2006 to apply for a winter 2007 spot at UC. You’re applying for class of 2015.</p>
