What are my chances for UC davis with REALLY low sat reasoning and no subject test!!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have 4.00 gpa this year and 3.85 last year which ranks 56 out of 551
I have only take one AP class and honors class this year which is AP chem and Analysis honors. I have completed the a-g courses</p>

<p>Sat reasoning:
Critical Reading 440<br>
Math 500<br>
Writing 360</p>

<p>Extracurricular/ Awards: filipino and japanese club, honor roll freshman year, and that one award in junior year where you have maintained 3.80 gpa</p>

<p>Community service: only church office work for 10 hours=/ </p>

<p>I can still take the subject test on dec 5 and acts on the 12 but I'm not guaranteed a seat cuz i missed the deadline>.<
and the scores are due somewhere on december:(</p>

<p>What are my chances?:(</p>

2

<p>zero…sorry</p>

<p>retake the SAT (practice it first…take one of those SAT prep courses)</p>

<p>940 would have been almost a zero chance 30 years go. two years ago a friend of mine with 1280 got admitted to Cal and rejected from Davis.</p>

3

<p>Ah that sucks>.<
so december 5 testing is my only hope?:(</p>

<p>i kinda messed up on the reasoning cuz i was afraid of getting deducted for wrong answers so i left most of em blank-_-</p>

<p>theres also the acts on dec 12</p>

4

<p>I think you will be rejected if you have no SAT subject scores.</p>

5

<p>They’ll only reject it if you dont finish it before senior year.
I’m planning to take it on dec 5 as I said cuz i would be able to send the scores before they start reviewing the applications in january.</p>

<p>though im not sure if they’ll have available seats>.<
i’ve called the testing center and no one is picking up=/</p>

6

<p>merced could be a match</p>

7

<p>possibly
but is there anything else i can do to increase my chances?:frowning:
other than hope for dec 5 test?</p>

8

<p>Try the ACT if you can. A lot of people that have trouble with the SAT seem to do better on it. That’s from personal experience mind you, asking people I know.</p>

9

<p>I missed the deadline for the last one for december
Again Ill be on standby for a seat</p>

<p>Can anyone share their experience with standby testing for california? either SAT or ACT.</p>

10

<p>thanksgiving bump</p>

11

<p>ok update i took sat II:
Chemistry
Math II
Literature</p>

<p>took it last saturday, turns out they do reserve test for standby testing in SJ delta college:)</p>

<p>Now i dont think i did too good on all of em especially literature i ran out of time and werent able to finish atleast 20ish question on all of em-_-</p>

12

<p>20 questions… No offense, but that’s just bad test taking.</p>

13

<p>Yikes…no offense but those are REALLY low SAT scores…definitely play up the rest of your application to Davis (esp. the essay!!). I would definitely give the ACT a shot if you can; I wasn’t that great at the SAT but I did decently on the ACT. If you can, find some sort of SAT/ACT tutoring thing in your area.</p>

<p>Well its my first time and its kinda sudden so i didnt have time to prepare=/
k here are the results for subject test:
Chemistry 600<br>
Literature 510<br>
Mathematics Level 2 590
I did that UC eligibility total thing and got 259 uc score total
It says a gpa of 3.45 and above has a minimum of 143 so is this a good thing?</p>
