<p>~~~I'm applying to. . .</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
UC San Diego
UC Davis
UC Irvine
USC
CMU
NYU</p>
<p>These are the schools I'm worried about. I'm applying to safeties as well (LMU, SCU, Syracuse) but I already have a general understanding that I can get in.</p>
<p>I'm also applying to UCLA but through the design | media arts major, which requires another supplemental application. I heard it's very selective, and around 50 out of 1000 students get accepted -_-;;;;. Anyone have any experience with that?</p>
<p>My school has an online program called Naviance that creates scatter grams. It shows everyone's GPA and scores and whether they got accepted or rejected. To give you guys a better idea, I'll show you the average scores at my school..</p>
