<p>Berkeley and USC are low reaches/reaches, others are matches</p>

5

<p>Anyone else? Please?</p>

<p>Newhouse accepts 7% of it’s applicants. It’s a high reach and since it is so expensive, it can’t be a safety. @kangelillo16‌ </p>

9

<p>@AnnieBeats‌ my bad, forgot they wanted Newhouse not Syracuse Arts & sciences.</p>

<p>My apologies @batman4321‌ </p>

10

<p>No worries @kangelillo16‌ ! I am interviewing there this fall with admissions so I hope that shows my demonstrated interest/helps my chances!</p>

11

<p>VERY GOOD CHANCES at all places, most prospective communications majors aren’t the academic type and you have that advantage on your side. Obviously, I didn’t mean this comment to be rude towards communication majors. GOOD LUCK!</p>

12

<p>I would place USC over Newhouse in your first picks because of the L.A. advantage!</p>

13

<p>Thank you so much! And yes the LA area is definitely awesome for my field @PSC2IVY‌ </p>

14

<p>My D had very similar numbers and EC’s, is a Comm major, and applied to almost the exact same schools. </p>

<p>USC (Annenberg) - Reach. Your SAT could be higher…and a few more AP’s senior year would be better.
UC Berkeley - Reach, especially OOS. Seems only valedictorians get in. And even then, some turned away. From our HS in So Cal this year, SAT’s 2200+, with 4.5 GPA.
Pepperdine - for sure.
University of Washington (IN STATE) - for sure. Lucky to have this option at a great price!
University of San Diego - yep.
Syracuse (Newhouse) - for sure
Santa Clara - yes</p>

<p>Congrats on a great high school career. For Comm, check out UCLA, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, Penn State.</p>

15

<p>Thank you so much! @Maggpie‌ I am retaking my SAT in October and will hopefully be able to raise it to make it even more competitive… Best of luck to your D in college!</p>

16

<p>I think everything except UC Berkeley and USC are matches! your extracurriculars (esp deca and volunteer as well as soccer) are pretty good. UC Berkeley and USC are low/mid reaches I think… try and get the SAT up a little higher as others have said + maybe one or two more APs. Also take some SAT II tests? Best of luck!</p>

17

<p>Awesome thanks so much @oph3licat‌ ! </p>

18

<p>bump!</p>

19

<p>USC and maybe Syracuse are reaches. Everything else seems fit (including Berkeley, because you’re applying to PR and not STEM). For PR, have you looked at NYU or Babson? Take a look!</p>

<p>Please Chance me back.
