<p>Anyway, this is the big list of schools I'm looking into:
Occidental
UC San Diego
UC Berkeley
UC Santa Cruz
UC Irvine
UCLA
USC
UC Davis
Stanford
University of Michigan
Pace University
New York University
Northwestern</p>

<p>...and I'm totally aware that many of these I have a next-to-nothing chance of getting into (so don't laugh at me, haha). I just thought this would be fun :)</p>

2

<p>Accepted everywhere except Stanford and Northwestern.</p>

<p>Berkeley is a reach.</p>

3

<p>thanks!
bumping this up.</p>

4

<p>I agree with rosh except nyu isn't certain.</p>

5

<p>Trying to stay in state eh? lol
I'd say u can prob easily get into all except: UC Berkeley, Stanford, New York University, and Northwestern</p>

<p>Those I think your credentials aren't quite strong enough, but i'd say that except for stanford and maybe berkely, you still have a decent chance to get in.</p>

<p>haha, actually, i've always wanted to go out of state - recently had a major change of heart re: the types of schools and degrees i want to pursue. i have a huge list of out of state schools i'm looking at, but they're not really academically competitive - just artistically. </p>

<p>thanks :)</p>

<p>bumping this up for two reasons: act scores back and I got a 30 (plan to retake because my math score was very low) and I just found out I made national merit (assuming as a commended scholar)</p>
