Congratulations for getting into an 'okay' school. Why do I say okay? My sister got a 1550 on her SAT, still got in.

Let's say 1550=155 if you convert into pSat style. That's like, what a Freshman at my school gets. Wait, not even. The above average freshmen is 50-60-60, that's 170=1700.

[/quote] I mean for the UC system. SAT scores are no longer a major factor in acceptance. Rather, its just used as a bar that people have to reach. ACT will soon become the preferred replacement.

Still, I'm probably only having a UC as my safety school, and apply to non-UC schools, such as Stanford or WUSL (premed program, very competitive too).
