<p>GPA 3.8, top 25% of a highly competitive public school, SAT 2070, (Reading 710, math 630, writing 730), Activities, policy debate all four years, national ranked debate team, major varsity player and award winning, other activities, key club, fencing, foreign language club, volunteered at local art festivals, libraries, tutored disadvantaged kids</p>
<p>Please chance me for USC or UCLA, Thanks!!!</p>
<p>You have good ECs and the SAT is adequate for both schools. Now, is your gpa weighted or non-weighted because that definitely matters. Also, what are you planning to major in? Any STEM applicant for these schools should have at least a 700 in math. All in all, I’d say you might have a little better shot at USC, but both are still high matches to low reaches. You definitely have a shot at either, just work hard on your essays get good letters of rec. Interview if possible too. Good luck! Please chance me back. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1576421-what-my-chances-getting-into-usc-ucla-nyu.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1576421-what-my-chances-getting-into-usc-ucla-nyu.html</a></p>
<p>Thanks! More input please! I chanse back.</p>
<p>What is your UC GPA?
Is 3.8 weighted or unweighted GPA? At top 25% I’m thinking it’s weighted.
Are you a California resident?</p>

<p>If your GPA is weighted then you are below the averages GPA for both schools. Your SAT is at the mid-point for UCLA and just above the 25th%-tile for USC. Both schools reject 4 out of 5 applicants. I think the wise strategy is to consider both to be reaches with a better chance at UCLA if you are a California resident and your UC GPA is around the 4.1 average.</p>
<p>Not from California. Will check the GPA is weighted or not. It is 93 over 100. Thanks!</p>

<p>The GPA is weighted.</p>
<p>Is your courseload considered rigorous in your school?
Any AP/IB classes?</p>
<p>I cannot give an accurate result from this paragraph but it appears you are a match for USC and low reach for UCLA just because it is UC and out-of-state students have a harder chance to get in than residents.</p>
<p>Yes. Mostly honor’s classes. 5 APs. My high school is a very competitive school. Rated 10 in greatschools.com and education.com. My math and science scores are not that strong. Language arts scores stand out. I was awarded for best in class for my language arts class. I’m a top ranked policy debaters too. Which school is right for me? I’d like to study film, screen writing or creative writing. Any suggestions for other colleges that has good program for my intended field of study?</p>
<p>Your suggestions are greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Bump, Bump, Bump
Input please! Thanks!</p>
<p>What major? Some are impacted, and harder to get in to.</p>
<p>I know the school of cinema art at USC is very hard to get in.
</p>
<p>How about creative writing? Any major in USC is easy to get in? It is my dream school. How about get in first and change major later?</p>
<p>update, update,update
GPA 3.82 unweighted, 4.36 weighted, SAT Super Score 2090, Any chance for USC/UCLA/UCSB/UCSD? Thanks! I will chance back.</p>
<p>Well, UCs don’t use superscores, only SATs from a single sitting.</p>
<p>Is that still 2070 for you, then?</p>
<p>Yes. Super score is 2090. Thanks!</p>
<p>They both look like a bit of a reach, then, but not impossible. I wish you the best of luck getting in.</p>
<p>Thanks! Any California schools are matches for me then?</p>
<p>Pretty much all of the CSUs and some of the UCs should be in your range.</p>
