<p>well, UCs will give you a grade bump for AP Bio, AP Calc, AP English, so your GPA for UC will be around 3.8 or so. Have you calculated it?</p>

<p>That SAT CR and W are killing you. YOu should probably try to take one more time, perhaps hiring a tutor for 3-5 hours of help.</p>

<p>I don’t understand the Bio grades in 10th grade… did you take Bio and AP Bio at the same time??</p>

<p>You’re a match to UCR and slight reach to UCSC, a reach to UCSB, UCI and UCD. Big reach for UCSD and huge reach for UCLA and Berkeley.</p>

<p>considering you’ve gotten OK grades is AP classes, you’re a pretty good student. </p>

<p>If you can get the CR and W of the SAT over 500, then UCSB, UCI and UCD become more of a realistic possibility. You know that UCs require TWO SAT subject tests, right?</p>

<p>LMU: Match/Safety
Pepperdine: Reach/Natch
Occy: Reach
Cal Lutheran: Safety</p>

<p>18 ACT = 860-890 M+CR = 1290 New SAT</p>

<p>1000 M+CR SAT = 21 ACT</p>

<p>1430 New SAT = 20 ACT</p>

<p>Don’t send your ACT…your SAT is better.</p>

<p>What is your “UC GPA”???</p>

<p>UCR mid 50 range</p>

<p>Test Scores
Middle 50% of First-Year Students </p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading: 450 - 570<br>
SAT Math: 480 - 620<br>
SAT Writing: 460 - 570<br>
ACT Composite: 19 - 25 </p>

<p>I wouldn’t say UCR is a match, but you have a chance.</p>

<p>I think you’re in at LMU, but unless your parents will pay, you’ll probably get gapped.</p>

<p>Are you applying to any Cal States? You really need to.</p>

<p>mom2 – the UCs seem to value GPA more highly than test scores. OP’s GPA puts him/her is in the top 10% of their class. That’s a pretty strong match to UCR.</p>

<p>i am not sure if this helps but my dad earns about 32,000 and he is divorced
i am legal resident of california and a citizen of Mexico</p>

<p>Do you realize that some people with 600’s end up with 750’s because they took a lot of practice tests. I’m sure you can get those 400’s up to 600’s or close to it.</p>

<p>to be honest these are some of the high scores in my school except english i have seen people get 500 and 700 in spanish.
i took it again in december and got 440 in english 640 spanish and 570 in math.
i am really aiming for loyola marymount, pepperdine, ucsb, ucla, and irvine</p>
