Can I get into a good UC with a high GPA but low SAT score?

Question

I have a weighted 4.5 GPA, but a very low 1530 SAT score. I was able to earn my GPA by working very hard, like studying until 3 in the morning. However, no matter how much I study, I can't achieve a good SAT score. I'm retaking the SAT, but I don't have much hope in it improving much. I have a wide range of extra-curriculars’ such as sports, leadership, clubs, volunteer work, but I haven't done anything particularly extraordinary. I've also gotten many honors concerning my academic and volunteer work. Will I have a good chance at getting into good UC's such as UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, or San Diego?

Answer 1

YES DEAR

Answer 2

Unfortunately your score is low for all four of those schools. They tend to want well-rounded students and if your SAT doesn't show you can execute your skills on a test, they probably won't want you as a student.

I would try taking the ACT instead...it tends to be a totally different test, which may be something you need. All of the UCs accept an ACT score too.  

Answer 3

Definetly not Berkely but the rest maybe . u should improve the SAT
