Did you apply RD and have you visited them all ? I have & they are extremely different environments and have unique areas of strength. USC has an outstanding International Business program and TCU has strong academic advising for their business school (Neeley) for example. They have vastly different vibes in terms of the campus itself and the student body. My guess is you will be able to choose from them all and that’s why you have to really do research. You have to determine which place will provide the best fit overall. You know the factors involved, right ? As long as you did not apply to Nursing, you should be fine !

What do you unweighted grades look like by subject, by year?

I’ve gotten an A (my school’s scale is 93-100, 85-92…) in all classes since freshman yr and it looks the same this semester so far (including APs). Only B was a 92 in PE which I’m sure doesn’t matter compared to a core class. Does that answer your question?

You should be a strong applicant at each of the 4 colleges. I would not be qualified to guess on scholarships though. Thanks and good luck.
