<p>From the UCSB admissions web site:</p>
<p>“If you took the ACT plus its Writing exam: The University takes your highest math, reading, science and combined English/writing score from a single sitting and converts them to equivalent UC scores (see the translation table at right). To give the ACT writing component equal weight to the SAT writing exam, the University multiplies the sum of your converted math, reading and science scores by two-thirds, then adds the converted English/writing score. This subtotal is then added to your two highest SAT Subject Test scores from two different subject areas, which are also converted to equivalent UC Scores, to reach your UC Score Total ([math + reading + science] x 0.667 + English/writing + subject test 1 + subject test 2).”</p>
<p>Trying to figure out UC Score Total:</p>
<p>ACT Scores
English, converted is 97
Math, converted is 90
Reading, converted is 87
Science, converted is 80
(Combined English/Writing), converted is 90</p>
<p>SAT II Scores (will retake the lower one if possible…)
700, converted is 83
620, converted is 70</p>
<p>(The sum of your converted math, reading and science score times 2/3)
(90+87+80)x.667=182
English writing=90
The 700 = 83
The 620 = 70</p>
<p>The sum of these four is 425; Is that the correct UC Score Total? If it is, then what does this mean with respect to getting into UCSB, given that the right subjects were taken and grades were mostly A’s (with a few B’s) in mostly honors (with a few AP classes) during 10th and 11th grade? Calculation of the UC GPA is a bit hard, too, especially - I think - for out-of-staters.</p>
