I wrote and published a science fiction novel on Amazon’s self-publishing service. I am currently in the process of writing two more.
I know that the most recent SAT essay score isn’t too great. However, that essay was essentially the same quality as the previous two I wrote. How much will they affect my chances of getting into UCSD or any other UCs?
In addition, what would be some reach schools I may have a chance at being accepted to?
