<p>Hi
36 science
28 reading
34 math
33english
totaling to a 33 comp score
gpa is 3.0 and i go to a very competitive top 50 nation wide school.</p>

<p>Before i Begin on my question I would like to tell you my grades and EC's
I have a 3.0 Gpa and i attend one of the nations top 50 shcools. I plan on going into Finace and then Law.
Also to boost my Gpa i have taken the following at a community college.
Spanish 3 ( i got a B) </p>

<p>Also i have been an officer for published writers club and a officer for a career club.</p>

<p>Along with this i have had two internships, one at a dentist office and one in a silicon valley company.
Volunteer hours- around 400( done during summers)</p>

<p>As for my major i am going for Finance/ investment banking and maybe later Corp Law.</p>

<p>For me i think my life and my test scores make me stand out before other applicants.
I come from a financially weak single parent home. I maintain two jobs to help support my family (This takes a toll on my GPA)</p>

<p>Along with this we are low income and i am first gen to go to college.
I believe if i can show colleges my life story and illustrate my struggles as a child i can increase my chances for admission.</p>

<p>So my main question is
Is there anything i can do to help my admission into colleges.</p>

<p>Also should i even try to apply to schools like USC? or should i stick with CSU's, because i think i have good test scores.</p>

<p>My dream school is Boston University probaly.</p>

<p>Ps: My sat2
Math 2-770
Physics-740</p>

<p>Ps: i got C's in my math courses so i really wanted to show colleges that im not completely dumb at math just short on time.</p>

<p>Also all my teacher recc's talk about my situation</p>

<p>Thanks!
Any advice is appreciated :)Thanks

<p>Your problem with BU will be aid. They do not meet need and their better packages go to the highest stats kids in their pool.</p>

<p>I would look at UCR, M and SC, you will get into the first 2 and maybe SC. You would hopefully qualify for Blue and Gold which will pay your fees.</p>

<p>OK so Boston costs $52,000
$14,000 Financial aid
$1,000 Scholarships
$5,000 savings
$14,000 Ill be working while in college get a hob as dorm amnager or RA i asked a Rep
And $18,000 low interest loan gov sub.</p>

<p>So money i kind of handled worst come to worst my realitives will help me out.</p>

<p>So would i get into Boston?</p>

<p>My essay is explaining my situation and reason for horrible grades.
Thanks!</p>

<p>36 science, nice :). Yah definitely apply to USC. And look for UC’s like Merced, Riverside, and Santa Cruz. Your situation really makes you so hard to chance. I know you’ll get into Merced or Riverside, but with the way that you perceive your situation, you could get into UCSD or USC. You never know. I don’t know enough about BU to chance you for that college. Good Luck :).</p>

<p>Thanks so much!
Yay i finally got a answer lol.
Yeah definitely writing a emotional strong essay, but i really don’t want to go to riverside or Merced. Rather go to Santa Clara University.
Thanks Thanks so much!</p>
