I'm A Complete Failure

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>Hi everyone this is my first time posting :]</p>

<p>Anyways I just got my SAT scores which really ruined my day:
CR:680 M:610 W: 540 - 1830/2400
I really felt like I was going to do better…Anyways I’ll be retaking it in and hoping to break the 2000’s in October
SAT II: I’m taking these in June - American History, Math II and Spanish
School: Regular public school, but it’s a good school in a good district
GPA: around 3.6</p>

<p>Awards and Extracurricular:

  • AVID
  • Tennis</p>

<p>Community Service:

  • Planning to be a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital this summer
  • part of Volunteer San Diego, do some random volunteer hours</p>

<p>Applying to UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara and others. I’d be a first generation student if that’s relevant.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>You are not a complete failure!</p>

<p>UC Davis-match/low reach
UC Santa Barbara-match/low reach</p>

<p>An 1830 is not a bad score! I got a 1850 and I’m at berkeley! (though i used my ACT score, not my SAT, it was a 30, and translated to around 1950)</p>

<p>Tips:
Improve SAT to 1900+ (youre going to do that, good)
Try taking the ACT too and score 30 or higher
Take a class at a local city college that is UC transferable
Start your essay early, the essay prompts just changed, and I doubt it will change again for a long time.</p>

<p>I realistically see you at LA or Berkeley if you try to improve your EC involvements/leadership.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
