Hi,
Im currently a junior and got a 1470 on the SAT (760 M/710 CR/W). I have retaken the SAT to improve this score but my score actually decreased the second time
I am not too worried about that because colleges only consider your best score, but am frustrated that I am not improving no matter how much I study. Will this score hurt my chances of getting into colleges such as Davis, UC Berkeley, and other selective colleges? I currently have a 4.4 weighted UC GPA.
What is your desired major?
not sure yet, but probably going in the pre med track.
But pre-med track isn’t an actual major right? You can go to med school with any major as long as you take the pre-reqs, correct? And major matters when applying because some are impacted and some are not.
I would think with a 4.4 UC GPA and a 1470 SAT you would be good for Davis, depending on major.
1470 is really good
1470 isn’t bad, with more studying and training you could easily get it into the 1500s.
760 math, 710 CR…why do you want to take the SAT once again? Those are great scores. I’m not sure that in the context of your entire app, a 780 math or 740 CR will make a difference vs. what you have now. Your time may be better spent on pursuing areas of interest.
