<p>To start off: I go to a really competitive private high school, so the teachers are hard and all, but they teach well :). I'm really banking on the idea that the private colleges will see that I improved a lot as my courses got a lot more difficult.</p>
<p>I'm applying to:
UC - Berkeley
UC - Los Angeles
UC - San Diego
UC - Santa Barbara
UC - Irvine
UC - Davis
UC - Santa Cruz
UC - Riverside</p>
<p>CSU - Cal Poly SLO</p>
<p>Northwestern</p>
<h2>USC</h2>
<p>I was wondering if you guys could give me an idea for my chances (I'm applying: undeclared - letters and science for practically all the schools with an alternate major in Chemistry)</p>
