Can strong subject tests offset sat scores?

<p>My super-scored scores are:</p>

<p>Math:720
Writing: 700
Reading: 590----->■■■</p>

<p>Math II: 790
Chemistry: 770</p>

<p>So, as you can see the only non-700+ score is reading :(. My math and writing are good, not going to get me in or out. That said, assuming that everything goes wrong on my retake sat in December, will colleges deny me automatically? I’m doing engineering btw and I’m applying to the UCs.</p>
