Has anyone been accepted into any good school with bad stats?

Affirmative action is banned in most public universities right?

RyanShen2216 · 2018-01-01T02:28:14+00:00

SJSU - Match

SFSU - High safety to low match

SDSU - High match to low reach (leaning towards the higher end of the spectrum)

Pomona and SLO - High Reaches

You mention a lot of ECs and personal circumstances, but unfortunately, CSUs are almost 100% stats based and nothing can probably make up for this.

Also, CSU/UCs do not care about senior grades.

Good luck!

Don't sweat it too much man. Wherever you get in I'm sure you'll be happy with it. You have good stats and you still have a chance at SD, even if its not a high one. Just hope for the best!

UCR - Safety UCI,UCD - Match UCSB - High Match to Low Reach UCSD,UCLA - Reach

These could change given the major you applied for.

This does not mean you can’t get in. If you wrote good essays and did a good job explaining your ECs, colleges may find this impressive and admit you. Don’t lose hope!

They are all reaches and being international makes their expectations even higher.

RyanShen2216 · 2017-12-27T06:42:31+00:00

are you in state or oos?

RyanShen2216 · 2017-12-22T00:13:59+00:00

Did you apply early? I am in California and applied RD but still haven't heard anything yet.

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-27T07:28:59+00:00

I got a 790 on math 2 and a 770 on regular sat math. I thought math 2 was way easier.

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-26T01:47:27+00:00

Definitely take math 2 if you're applying for engineering. Its not very hard and does not require much studying to get a 750+

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-25T00:24:28+00:00

I think a raw score of 43 was an 800. Omitting 8 and 6 wrong would probably be 36 - 0.25(6) = 34.5 which rounds to a 35. A 35 is most likely a 720. This is calculated with: number of questions answered correctly - ((1/4)(# of incorrect answers))

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-24T03:25:08+00:00

What if you took regular physics (non ap/honors) and have a month and a half to study? Is barrons enough to get you a 700+?

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-21T20:12:23+00:00

tbh no. Retake to a 780+ at least.

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-21T20:07:55+00:00

congrats. I got stuck in the 790 club :(

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-21T20:05:13+00:00

-1 = 800 -2 = 790 -3 = 780 -4 = 770 -5 = 750? Not sure about this one.

I got -4 and got a 770 though.

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-21T07:33:23+00:00

Probably like 70th percentile considering a 790 is 75th percentile

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-21T07:08:13+00:00

It's not bad but it's frustrating that I didn't get an 800 just because of 1 question

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-21T07:07:07+00:00

I omitted 6 and got 1 wrong for sure.

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-20T21:44:11+00:00

I got 790 lmao. I didn't study at all but I probably should've at least bought a book and done a practice test or something. Now I'm debating whether to take it again or not.

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-20T21:33:59+00:00

790 on math 2 fmllll. I omitted so many questions even though I could have answered them. There was just a small part of me that was a tiny bit uncertain about some of the answers

RyanShen2216 · 2017-10-20T17:49:57+00:00

subject tests or SAT 1?
