Can I Get Into These California/New York Schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>USC, Cal State Long Beach and Pepperdine</p>

<p>NYU and Pace University </p>

<p>I am a junior in New England. I have a 3.8-3.9 (UW) and 4.40 (W). I take all honors classes and am currently taking one AP class. </p>

<p>I have great ECs. I am a part of five, clubs. I am president in one of them and I started one club.</p>

<p>I was a lead volunteer at a hospital and have 224 hours of service. I am also a part of the student government. </p>

<p>I got a 149(0) on my PSATs, but I was sick that day and I studied for about 30 minutes. I am not making any excuses. </p>

<p>Will that ruin my chances for those schools?</p>

<p>I will STUDY HARD for the SATs and I have enrolled in Kaplan!</p>

<p>Schools dont care about the PSAT. And even if you do poorly on the SAT/ACT (take both!) you’d still probably get in to Pace and CSULB because they’re not very competitive schools…</p>

<p>What about USC and NYU?</p>

<p>hard to say without SAT/ACT. USC is a lot tougher to get into (at least for general studies) than NYU. You’d probably want an SAT of at least 2100 or an ACT of at least 31.</p>
