<p>*My EC's arent that plentiful but I've tried to focus them on working with children, particularly disabled or abused children, because i'm almost positive that I want to do something with child psychology. Hopefully they look somewhat focused? I also can't be as involved as I'd like to be because I need to work so much.</p>

<p>*Please chance me for UVA, USC (Carolina, not CA), PSU(hopefully just a safety), UCLA, and UC Berkeley (reaches I know), and also for any honors schools or programs that each has. Also suggest similar schools you think I may like! Additionally, if you think i'd be eligible for scholarships at any of these schools please let me know. Thank you :)</p>

<p>You should be a shoo-in at USC, as well as a possible candidate for instate tuition.</p>

<p>you’ll definitely get into USC, and possibly get money. try to get your sats as high as possible because you can probably find a straight cutoff for merit scholarships on the usc website, i applied to alabama and there were very straightforward cuts. i’d say you have a good chance at the honors program at USC, my friend got in with perfect grades but never beat a 2000 sat. apply for psu honors!! i never thought i’d get in, but college admissions are crazy and unpredictable. as for uva, uc berkley, and ucla, i honestly don’t know. uva i’d say you have an okay shot, but people who i thought would get in from my school didn’t. they really value community and leadership. good luck!</p>
