<p>It sounds like you have a better shot at Cal than at USC. You still have a pretty good chance at both schools though. What was your high school gpa? Also just out of curiosity what did you get a B in?</p>

3

<p>High school GPA was about a 3.45 and i got a B in Art history and English 1A</p>

<p>why econ?</p>

<p>go mounties hahaha</p>

5

<p>I've always been interested in Econ and also heard it was a good major to go for law school</p>

6

<p>society of accountants? I wanted to go to the meeting for that on wednesday, but 12:30 is when my damn accounting class starts. I wanted to join for the days when you travel to usc to talk to the department head of accounting.</p>

<p>Go mt sac.</p>

<p>You have a great shot for both usc, ucla and berkley, especially with your major being econ and not business for usc.</p>

<p>Bump, anyone else with some more insight?</p>

<p>I'd be really surprised if you don't get in to both schools.</p>
