move this to the chance page but I think your standardized tests make your college list unrealistic. I’d look at some test optional colleges. http://www.fairtest.org/university/optional/state

How do you put it there?

4

Your test scores are a serious detriment.

5

Why are your SATs so low? You seem capable of much better scores.

6

Your SATs are definitely a deal breaker. Indicates serious grade inflation, or an unresolved issue that will definitely raise red flags. Get that score up SUBSTANTIALLY or check out test optional schools, stat.

7

Your SATs & ACTs are a deal breaker(same situation with me). Try UC Santa Cruz, UCRiverside,Cal Poly Pomona, & CSU Long Beach. You’ll have a better chance with those schools

You need to raise your SAT &/or ACT scores(At least around 1800/27 Composite) to have a chance at UCLA,UCSD, UCI and UCSB.
