<p>I think you have an excellent chance of getting into all these schools with the possible exceptions of USC (assuming that it’s Southern California and not South Carolina) and Bucknell.</p>

<p>I agree with knownaught. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Knownaught- Yeah that;s my massive reach school My GPA for my senior year should be good though so i hope there take that into consideration or something. I also have taken 3 college courses and gained all 99% in them, USC is my dream school but I’ll be fine if i dont get in </p>

<p>thanks Poi!</p>

<p>Any other schools I should consider?</p>

<p>Bummpppp10100</p>

<p>I think you already have a pretty good selction of large colleges to apply to, and you have a pretty interesting background with the ice skating and the term in Italy which might attract USC’s attention. If you love California and are willing to go with a smaller school, you could try Pepperdine or Pitzer. If the main attraction is heat and no rain, there is the University of Arizona. If you want warm weather and the ocean, you could consider the University of Florida (not very close to the beaches) or the University of Miami.
Best of luck.</p>

<p>haha yeah i was wondering if threes any i should NOT apply to and maybe other ones i should apply too lol, and I don’t like pepperdine or Pitzer, i’m looking for a school over 10,000 except Bucknell haha… I’ve looked into UArizona and didn’t like it, haha UF has such a small percentage out of state so i dont think i would have a chance, I’ve looked into Miami, but im def not smart enough for it just like im not smart enough for USC but i wanna try for it anyway</p>

<p>Yeah, I was contemplating putting that I drive a race-car, but I wasn’t sure where to put it so I didn’t</p>

<p>Harharhar10</p>

<p>Help? Im not applying to USC anymore.</p>

<p>i would say yes to all of those schools except maybe for Bucknell, if you get your ACT score a few points higher that will def increase your chances at Bucknell and ensure your admittance to the others</p>

<p>thanks, i’ve actually scratched bucknell also off my list so my finalized list (I HOPE) hahah my undecided self</p>

<p>Alabama, Maryland, Pitt, UCONN, Colorado, Towson, Syrcause, Clemson, Northeastern, Penn State, Tenn&lt;/p>

<p>anything you think i should scratch/add? </p>

<p>=) thanks for the help!</p>

<p>'help puhleazz</p>

<p>its actually easier for out of state people to get into UF. I’m from Florida and a lot of people from my school end up going there. But, Gainesville sucks. You might want to look into FSU.</p>
