<p>WHOOPS! I READ THE OTHER USC, IN CALIFORNIA! WOW, I FEEL DUMB. Must’ve been because my aunt and I were talking about it earlier, lol. WHOOPS, my bad, mea culpa! With that said, 50-50 at Wake Forest, in everywhere else.</p>
<p>Wake is a mid reach, but every other place is either a definite match or low reach. I hope you do well on your next SAT so you have better odds. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Wake Forest is a test-optional school, but if you get your hoped for SAT score, your Math and Reading will be at their 75% range - in other words, make sure to send your scores anyways!</p>
<p>Wake is a bit of a wildcard school in my opinion (for anybody who applies) because they are test-optional and rely less on numbers, and more on things like interviews and recommendations. Your call as to whether those are/will be good.</p>
<p>I’d say you have a 75 percent chance at getting into each of those state flagship schools. Your pure distance from some of the schools you are applying to (USC, UGA, and UConn for example) will probably help you out a lot. Your OOS status probably won’t help you to gain too many scholarships at these state schools though :(</p>
<p>I have trust that I’ll have a great recommendation from both my coach and my AP US teacher and good recommendations from my counselor and my AP Euro teacher</p>
<p>University of Texas is a major pre-law university. Also consider the environment of your future university, it appears your set on leaving your current state great! Texas I known for our warm hospitality and here in texas we have a saying “if you dont like the weather wait 15mins and it will change” meaning the weather changes on a dime. </p>
<p>No, its a 4.388 out of 5. Which is like a 3.51 on a 4 scale. </p>
<p>Wake Forest: target
Clemson : in
University of Washington: target
University of Texas: in
University of Georgia: if this is Gtech, low reach
University of South Carolina: high target
UC Santa Barbara: target
UConn: target</p>
