what do I need on SATs to get in UC Irvine

Test Preparation

<p>Well, I've been thinking lately about going to either UCSB (Santa Barbara) or UCI (Irvine). I've asked couple of my senior friends and they said that UCSB is not a good university because of common use of partying & drugs. After that, I've decided to strive for UCI, but my SAT scores are too darn low. I've been getting like 500s on math, 500-650 on writing, 300 to 400 on English. I am taking AP biology & have a C in the class. I am also currently in varsity rifle team & going to plan on joining varsity track and field. My GPA ranges from 3.33 to 3.71! <em>sigh</em> I don't know if UCI will accept it.</p>

<p>So you decided against UCSB purely because of ignorance on the part of a few friends? Check out this thread:</p>
