Hi!

My daughter’s SAT/ACT scores are not excellent (see below). She is applying to UC system for a biz major.

(1) Does she have a chance to get in (excluding top - UCLA and Berkely, Low- Riverside and Merced)?

(2) Which score should she send to (SAT, ACT test 1, or ACT test 2)? I was told UC does not take mixed scores across different settings (ACT in our case).

(3) What about Cal Poly?

(4) What other safe colleges she should consider as a backup?

SAT - 1730 (math 650, reading 500, writing 580)
ACT test 1 - 27 (English 31, Math 27, Reading 27, Science 23)
ACT test 2 -27 (English 29, Math 31, Reading 22, Science 26)

GPA (weighted) - 4.08
CA resident
Two AP classes each year in 10, 11, 12
No outstanding extracurricular…

Thanks !
