<p>so I got a 1640 on my SAT. Took it twice, first time 1520. I personally know students who got 1340-1500 on their SATs from my high school and both are now attending UCLA and Berkeley. Am I in the clear or will a 1640 really hurt my chances at UCs?</p>
<p>Are you saying you know people who got 1340-1500 out of 2400 who got in?</p>
<p>Yes average scores of people from my town</p>
<p>Seems a bit odd,beings that UCLA 25th-75th% is 1760-2130, Berkely is 1840-2230. The peoples scores you’re quoting must be on the 1600 scale.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m thinking you misunderstood. Some people look at a score on the 2400 point scale, and some look at a score on the 1600 point scale (CR and M only).</p>
<p>1340 on a 1600 scale is quite good, while a 1340 on a 2400 scale is below average. </p>
<p>If you would give your individual scores for each section, I could maybe give you a better response. I would need to know that to know how people like you have fared in admissions in the past.</p>
<p>It’s possible that you misunderstood and their scores were out of 1600. </p>
<p>If not, then it’s possible that they had a very high rank and UC GPA (UCs care about GPA), and their school is underprivileged…and maybe they’re URMs???</p>
<p>Yes after further research it’s because the school is underprivileged and has low AP scores or haven’t even met the AYP. but they graduated last year and I know for a fact that one of the students got into both Berkeley and UCLA but she also was a valedictorian and had amazing ECs. Thanks to all for responding</p>
