<p>SATs: 1700 (no studying involved, bad month to take it, took it in OCT) but taking again in April.. probably wont go up too much ]:</p>

<p>SATII: not taken yet but taking US history, biology, and math</p>

<p>i dont know how well i write essays, ive been told my biographies are pretty good. </p>

<p>So whats my chances in anywhere? I really want to go to a combined medical program..preferabbly UCSD's. Do you think i can make it to UCLA or UCB or will i have to rely on interviews to get into schools and apply to eastcoast. (im in southern california by the way).</p>

<p>Thank you for responding or reading this mess.. i'm really worried for my life because ive been trying to get ready for college since 8th grade, and now i feel like im screwed cause of SATs.</p>

<p>Get your SATs above 2200 and the sky's the limit.</p>

3

<p>i really doubt i can.. im just an extremely bad test taker.. lets say i can narrow down all my answers to 2.. and i'll most likely pick the wrong one :(</p>

<p>if i cant.. lets say i get 2000 at highest.. will i have to go to a school that does interviews to get into somewhere good? cause i think i have alot of personality.</p>

4

<p>Not necessarily. A 2000 is a decent score. You certainly won't be a shoe-in at UCLA and UC-Berkeley, but you will still have a decent chance.</p>

5

<p>thats very depressing.. i really wanted to get into a BA/MD program...
i really hate how much SATs affect your chances anywhere.</p>

6

<p>woopsie i made a mistake.. junior year im taking chinese III not retaking chinese II</p>

<p>tinaaaw:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach</p>

<p>You have plenty of time to improve your SATs. Do that, and the sky is indeed the limit. Shoot for the best.</p>

<p>I hope you practice really hard and change that attitude around. You're a fabulous student, so I know you have the potential to get a great SAT score.</p>

<p>I can relate though. I studied all the 3500 words for the old SAT, I knew every.single.one of them and I know at least 80% to this day, years later, and I still couldn't get my verbal above 650. I did end up having 1 mistake on analogies and 1 omitted on sentence completion but I was just too scattered (and foreign :P) and always had RC questions that I couldn't get to. Everything else is 4.0s, and 780+ though. Sometimes SAT is just not your friend but I can say this - there is no way that with hard work you wont be able to do at least 650+650+700(M). You have to. Take months to study but do it.</p>
