<p>Thanks for the responses, I’m happy to see how helpful this community can be.</p>
<p>@coola: Yes, I am muslim, and the reason why BYU was a consideration for me is because of the low tuition and great image of the school to prospective employers. I’m all for building bridges, so the religious affiliation of a school wouldn’t throw me off.</p>
<p>@floridadad: Actually, the only reason I included LA, Berkeley, and Stanford in that list was at the behest of my parents. I’m under no illusions as to the calibre of universities I should be targeting (I’m hoping for Santa Clara or UC Davis personally at this point). I’m actually not too keen on moving to Michigan, so sadly, despite the great suggestion, it’s not on my list at this point. I am actually applying to the UK though, so it’s great to see some reassurance about my prospects there.</p>

<p>Now, more specifically, could someone remark on my chances at USC, Santa Clara, and UC Davis?</p>
