<p>Note: I will chance back!</p>

<p>I go to a highly competitive public school in so-cal, ranked top 10 in the nation.</p>

<p>Major: Pre-Medicine (pre-profession) & Business Administration</p>

<p>SAT 2320- 730 CR 800M 790 W</p>

<p>SAT II: 760 US 800 Math IIC 800 Biology 800 Chemistry 760 Literature </p>

<p>4.1 GPA/ 3.7 UW < I know this is killer</p>

<p>Class rank: 57/573</p>

<p>AP Scores: US 5, Bio 5, Chem 5, Econ-Mi 5, Econ-Ma 5, Stat 4, Eng Lang 4, Comparative Govt 4</p>

<p>I worked in the UCI labs, interned at Allergan, play varsity tennis and golf. I also vollenteer at a shelter for abused children and created an art program for them. Oh, I am also a national merit semi-finalist, maybe finalist? (PSAT 238).</p>

<p>I am not just looking for admission but also scholarships as I come from a lower income bracket. Example: Presidential, Trustee, Dean etc. Also, I am naming USC as my first choice. What are my chances at these or other scholarships?</p>

<p>Additional Notes:
My brother went to UCLA D:, will that hurt my chances? </p>

<p>Thank you for your time, any little bit of information counts!</p>

<p>If your PSAT is that amazing and since your gpa is decent, you should be NMF. So you should get about $20,000 a year if accepted. Plus, you will probably get some FA to cover at least some of your need if you are low income. I think you should be able to get in, though, but I’d make sure not to slump this year!</p>

<p>-------------------------------------------If it is to be, it is up to me…</p>

<p>For admission, you definitely have a good chance. Great job on the test scores! As for scholarships, it’s difficult to say because it really depends on your essays/extracurriculars to set you apart from the other applicants with high scores/grades. </p>

<p>Also, I highly doubt your brother being a UCLA alum will have any effect on your application, lol. I know a ton of kids here who are the first Trojans in their Bruin-filled families.</p>

<p>I don’t even think there would be a place on an application where you would need to state this – at any college!</p>

<p>Are you a Southern California resident? You might be able to apply for the Town and Gown scholarship as well – although I think your UW GPA is a bit low for those.</p>
