<p>University of Southern California- sounds like a slight reach, but if your interview went as good as you say it did, you should be almost in the clear.
UC-Davis - definite match.
UCLA - as you said…reachin’ for the sky. even with essays, this would be a reach.
UC-Berkeley - same here
UC-San Diego - slight reach
University of San Diego (Applying EA) - match
University of San Francisco(Applying EA) match
San Francisco State ???
San Diego State - match
New York University - slight reach. very slight!
George Washington University slight reach
University of Washington match</p>

<p>one thing you could still do is raise you sat scores. they are not pretty… and for nyu, if you scored well on your ap’s, use them in place of your subject scores…if you get a 2000, most of these schools could turn into matches. (well maybe not ucla and berkeley, but everywhere else.)</p>

<p>good luck in your admissions =)</p>

<p>It’s saturday!</p>

<p>You’re in for USF. I think, it’s not too hard to get in for that one.
For SFSU,I could say you’re in but depends on the place available. Students who have a lower gpa than you but live in the Bay Area have a greater chance than you. (SFSU and SDSU are impacted).</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>USC I think you have a good chance at if you continue to show interest. it’s the little things that can really boost you.</p>
