i would say riverside is an 80% acceptance rate. Almost everyone i know gets into there.

UC Irvine I have seen some rejections for people with low SAT scores. Try to get up to 1900, and you should be fine.

Riverside-safety
Irvine-match

There is definitely some room for improvement on the SAT.
Try to take the ACT as well and see if you do better.
(Some people do better on ACT.. some people do worse too though)

by the way my uc gpa is 3.62

cookiechrisps · 06-11-2008, 01:40 AM

bump, should i take the act too?

If you want to, its not a necessarily easy test, but look it over and see if its for you.

and your UC GPA is higher than 3.62, it's only sophmore and junior year, so it would be around a 3.9 which is good

with current SAT score
Riverside-in (many kids at my school call this UC city college)
Irvine-low reach

with an SAT >1850, I would say in at irvine

update i just got a 2 on my ap test for us history and i got a 580 on my subject test.

lewisandclark · 07-12-2008, 04:02 PM

well
i would suggest not sending in your AP Test, and probably studying a little more and taking the subject test again.

To be honest, you don't even need to do that; just study for the SAT I more, and if you get around 1800, or 1800+ you should be fine.

COLLEGEPLOX · 07-12-2008, 04:08 PM

I agree with lewisandclark

your best strategy right now would be to just focus on retaking the SAT I.
Make that your top priority, and if you get to 1800, very little reason why you shouldn't get in.

thanks guys, for the help and advice. any tips on how to raise my score, instead of reading the sat book and going thru practice tests. and crap, i sent my score in for the ap test.
