<p>@Catria - Thanks for the response! Could you explain to me why you think SLO/Emerson are low matches for me? In the past on another chance thread, someone told me that they thought SLO was a high match for me.</p>

<p>@87thebends - Thank you! I visited USC earlier this year and I fell in love with the campus, especially the Annenberg building.</p>

<p>@DjBoom777 - To be honest, I don’t know how to calculate it…I know it involves sophomore/junior year grades but I don’t know how to calculate it. D:</p>

<p>Very much like Caltria’s, but USC is a low reach due to your ethnicity, while the UCs are race-neutral.</p>

Reed: High match
Emerson: Low match
Occidental: Match

<p>UCB and USC are just tough schools for everyone. Are you sure Reed is you’re type? Reed is out there, I mean way out there, but if you are Reed’s type you will get in. My sister got in there, and well, I’m not surprised.</p>

<p>Can you chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1450628-chance-me-will-return-favor-mainly-lacs-unc-um-ucb.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1450628-chance-me-will-return-favor-mainly-lacs-unc-um-ucb.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I love the idea of an interdisciplinary school (my small learning community in high school is based on the humanities) and I do want to look at an out-of-state school that focuses on the liberal arts.</p>

<p>Bump! More chances would be very much appreciated. Just want to see if the popular opinion stands.</p>
