<p>I'm trying to get into UCSD but it's pretty unlikely because of my low SATs and extreme lack of ECs... I've taken one ACT during the time I was studying for my first SAT. My first SAT I studied for a week and I studied for even less on my second SAT. The reason why I'm reluctant to retake the SAT a third time is because I feel like I won't get accepted because, well, my college app sucks(see below).</p>
<p>My question is, should I retake it anyways even though my chances of getting into UCSD are slim?</p>

<p>I'm just your standard female asian/pacific islander trying to get into UCSD with a mediocre app...</p>
