If I get 2200 of SAT and dont have good enough activities..?

Question

I came from South korea, my GPA is 3.7 and dont have any AP classes or gift class. I only started Junior in here with some ESL class. I have 1 honor and few cp class. I know its not good for high college.

I wanna go to UCLA, USC, UC long beach. I live in GA now tho. so I know i would be out of state student.

I'm gonna take SAT tests, ive never taken it before.

when i took it just as practice, i got reading 500, math 750, didn't take writing.

so my goal is 2200 til Nov test.

but i dont have extra activities, awards, or volunteer.

How do you think if i get that score on SAT, Can i cover those other stuff?

Answer 1

You could be the perfect student of all time and still not get into the desired college. You're not doing anything wrong, except maybe the no xtra curriculars. But if you take any lessons outside of school, involved in a company/organization, had a summer job/activity, tah those count all the same.

A 2200 would be a very respectable score. Don't worry about no AP or whatever, a lot of private schools now don't even have them.

So just do the best you can given any opportunity, the college that wants YOU is right for you
