<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME! THANKS!</p>

<p>It’s very hard to chance without an SAT score. But, if you get your SAT score up to around 2000+ SCU, UCSB, and Pepperdine should be matches. USC will be a little more of a reach, but show intent in your essays and continue to keep your GPA high and you should have a good shot.
Chance me back?
