<p>You sound a lot like me... i really dont know your chances... but i would say that you need to take the SAT 1 again if you can get it in for the next test date.</p>

<p>hey, you're looking good. nice SAT II scores. you should write one of your personal statements about how you're a mod maker in a computer game community, and another on the single parent with low income situation. TAKE THE SAT I's AGAIN. theres one in december. </p>

<p>UCB, LA (reach)..but i think you'll get SD, I, and SB. </p>

<p>goodluck</p>

<p>A well written essay will make a lot of difference with your scores. Take a lot of time and run it by some teachers/trusted adults. Irvine should be a safety if not a highly impacted major, SB reasonable with a good essay. Davis a bit of a reach, SD a reach, LA and Berkeley doubtful.</p>

<p>The above out the window if you get recruited. As a recruited athlete, grades are fine for any UC. Missed that the first read! Good luck!</p>
