<p>can anyone please give me opinions and judgements for admission chances at these schools listed?!</p>

<p>-USC
-UDUB
-LMU
-University of San Diego
-Occidental College</p>

<p>USC--match to slight reach (match if you get those 18/1900, slight reach otherwises)
LMU--safe match
University of San Diego--safe match
Occidental College--match
UDUB (I don't think most people on this forum would know that you mean the University of Washington, but I lived in Seattle for about six months, so)--match</p>

<p>hey, thanks so much.</p>

<p>where would you recommend to go for a good bio major and pre-med?</p>

<p>Hey....</p>

<p>USC...match
LMU...safety
USan Diego...safety
Occidental...match/safety
UW...safety</p>

<p>What island you from? Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Hawaii, Lanai, Molokai?</p>

<p>PS--You might get more mileage off your stats, if you apply to other regions besides the West Coast.</p>

<p>USC... reach. Your GPA, rank, EC's are all a match for SC, but that SAT will just totally knock you out of consideration. You'll need an 1800 just to be acceptable - 1900 to be competitive in that aspect.</p>

<p>LMU... match
UCSD... slight reach... same SAT considerations as above
Occidental... safety
udub... safefty</p>

<p>i'm from oahu. what island are you from? where do you go to school now?</p>

<p>what do you mean by this:
"PS--You might get more mileage off your stats, if you apply to other regions besides the West Coast"</p>

<p>more mileage?</p>

<p>all right, thanks.</p>

<p>hey, thanks seniorSC!</p>

<p>uhmm, well not UCSD, but thanks anyways. i thought about applying there, but they're so strict on OOS applicants. i was talking about USD, the private one. </p>

<p>one more thing though, i hear a lot that Occidental is a safety or match for me, but their SAT averages seem pretty high, at least greater than my scores. well i guess these people tell me this because i tell them to consider my hopeful score increase.</p>

<p>another thing seniorSC, how do you like SC? how's the learning environment with relations to teachers? the campus location? getting around? not sure if i should ask about the football team because someone might brag. haha.</p>
