I am applying to UCLA, USC, UCB, UCI,UCSD, Sac State, Pepperdine, and I will probably be adding more to this list.
What major though? Since you have a pretty low SAT score, I think that the UCs except for Irvine are reaches. I feel like your GPA can cover it up though.
UCLA/USC/UCB: Reach
UCSD/UCSB: Low Reach (bigger chance at SB tho)
Pepperdine/UCI: High Match
Sacramento State: Match
From the College Board’s concordance table, 1150 on the new test is equivalent to a 1080/1600 on the old test.
I agree that SAT is low for the UC’s on your list. With current stats, UCI is possible but UCSC/UCR and UCM are more realistic targets. GPA is solid but you need to bump up your test scores.
Intended major?
@PrimeMeridian What concordance table were you using? Both the new concordance table app released by CB and the PDF released on Collegeboard’s website stated that my score was the equivalent to a 1590.

The concordance table you provided states it is a 1590/2400 on the old test altogether, not out of 1600. That is assuming that you took the new test. The other user is converting your 1150 (assuming that you took the old SAT)to the new sat, in which case it is a 1080(second table on the concordance chart). @wattba12
You can download an excel table from their website. The spreadsheet has a conversation to the 2400 and 1600 scale.
