<p>I'LL CHANCE BACK. Best of luck to all seniors! </p>
<p>I agree with the previous posters. UMich and USC are reaches because of your test scores. The other two schools are matches, in my opinion Good luck! </p>
<p>I think UMich and USC are reaches, but reaches are good! I think your essays and recommendations will matter a lot to make you stand out from other applicants. Based on the fact that you are a California resident, I’d call UCSB a match and Cuse a match too. Best of luck!</p>
<p>UMich and USC: reach
UCSB and Syracuse: match</p>
<p>Your chances could improve drastically since you did not apply for financial aid, but I am not sure how much that is considered at all of these schools. It should also help that you live in California.</p>
<p>I’m sure you will get into Syracuse however the others are probably reaches. But why didn’t you apply for financial aid? </p>
<p>Your SAT is a lil low for Michigan and USC (not sure about UCSB). But if it helps I had low stats and got into Northeastern University, which has an acceptance rate of 30% (USC’s is 20%). I think you have a chance, especially with your APs and ECs (they are better than mine). Also my gpa is a 3.4 UW. NEU and USC admission stats are very alike (almost identical). It may ultimately come down to your essays.</p>
<p>I hope this gives something more concrete to compare to :). USC is my top school too! Message me anytime and we can talk about our nerves & anxieties lol. Good luck!</p>
<p>You have a GREAT shot as UCSB and Syracuse!</p>
<p>USC and Michigan, though, will be tough because of your GPA. Your test scores are “workable”, but your GPA, in my opinion, is the killer. Good luck, though!</p>
<p>@beatsdancer I thought applying for financial aid might hurt my chances for my reach schools. I talked with my parents and we decided not to. Most let schools will let you submit it for sophomore year so if I need to I can then. I’m excited to hear back from USC, though I can already anticipate a decline. I applied to Annenberg for Comm. </p>
Good luck! </p>
