A little help?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Ok so SAT IIs are just in and i definitely didn't do as well as i had hoped... at all.</p>

<p>Bio - 540
Lit - 630
US History - 630</p>

<p>How much higher do i need for a school like USC? Although they don't require them it can only help me if i submit them. What is a good SAT II score for school's of USC's caliber?</p>

<p>I'm only an average student.
Sex: Female
Race: Caucasian
GPA: 3.3 (i have not gotten my final grades which will be weighted from my AP US History course)
my courses this year
Algebra II
English - Profile Writing and Modern Literature
Advanced Geology
Psychology
Short Stories
AP US History
Mandarin II
SATI: 1930
CR - 670
W - 680
M - 580
AP: US History (haven't received the scores yet)
EC: Chorus (11+12: leader)
MUN (10-12: Vice President)
Drama (9-12: Principle performer)
Social Awareness Club (9-12: organizer)
Soccer (9-12)
Swimming (9-12)
Foreign Exchange (10-11)
Tutoring (9-12) - i am the one tutoring others
and more...
Community Service: from 9-12 over 200 hours
senior home
volunteering for autistic walk
lobbying in Washington D.C.
Animal Care and Control (ACC) of New York
Caring for Elephants in Thailand... and more.
Job: 12 hrs (min) at American Apparel
Did a photo shoot for a cookbook as a model
Awards: 1 National award for Model UN (Pakistan)
2 International awards for Model UN (Brazil & Turkey)
Honor Role (9-12)
something to consider: my school only offers three APs and you only can take one at a time... but it is a very competitive NYC school...</p>

<p>So my question is if i want to apply to schools like USC, Carnegie Mellon, Michigan - Anne Arbor, and more - what can i do to make myself a more attractive candidate? I know my Math SAT I grade is pretty abysmal and I am taking tutoring for that section alone and I am fairly confident I can get my writing and critical reading up to 700s each - but what else? What kind of college would want me? I just need to go into "serious mode" and really step up my game, but I need to know where and how. </p>

<p>Thanks for any help you guys can give!</p>

<p>USC: i think u should break 600 on ur SAT math and SAT2 bio just to be safe</p>

<p>are u going to be a raising junior or senior?</p>

<p>yeah i am practicing super hard for the SAT I Math - this guy normally gets people up about 200 points. And I think I am going to try for a different science or math - i honestly just wish they had Earth Science. </p>

<p>I will be a rising Senior.</p>
