I am afraid that UCLA wont take me because of low SAT I score. otherwise is it a good profile for college like UCLA?

Answer 1

Well, the fact that your gpa is so good should partially outweigh the sat I. And you are definitely a well rounded student. UCLA is super-competitive though. You have to be in the top 5% to get in. All of the UCs are impacted right now, but you are definitely a good student, so I would say you have a shot.

[EDIT] I would say that maybe you should add a sport... any non-academic extracurriculars help your chances for acceptance. Good luck!

Answer 2

I would say you're too low to get into UCLA. The lowest I've seen going in is 3.6 (unweighted), but they had a 1280 (out of 1600) SAT. However, they do make some exceptions at times and take students with lower grades, but you shouldn't try to depend on that. Your AP grades are worthless to the people in admissions. Your GPA is decent, but your SAT1 and SAT2 scpres are too low for them. I would say you have a pretty good shot for UC Irvine, maybe even UC Davis. Try taking the ACT instead and that may boost your chances. Good luck.

Answer 3

all school, especially UCs, they dont care what your ap scores are, your SAT score is pretty low, the equivalent to the old score would be about 1030, and thats not good at all, your SAT II scores are pretty low too, looking at least 700 or above on two of your three and one other one should be NO lower than 600. i had a 1400 on my SAT, something like 2100 on my SAT II, 3.8 something, 3 varsity sports letters when i applied, double your extra curricular stuff, summer school at UC Berkeley, and guess what, I didnt get in, offcourse my year was the year of the great Electrical Engineer more than half a decade ago so depending on your major there might be hope

i would say retake your SAT, SAT II, and have have good backups just to be safe, when you are in the top 50 schools, and have the right degree finding the right job is not going to be hard if you work hard in college

Answer 4

Im a college educated person but I also think they should look more at a person with work experience because in my opinion they know the job better than someone with a college degree

Answer 5

Personally I think you're frickin' nuts and are more likely to be turned down for being overqualified than being turned down for a "low" SAT score. Seriously. Relax a little! You must not have had a social life.

Answer 6

Relax a bit; remember that college are looking for something more than grades and scores...Just pray..wait and chill.

Answer 7

I would say that they would be insain not to take you but if it really concerns you retake it.
