<p>** I know a bunch of these are reaches, but please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve my chances of getting in or if there are any universities you can think of that may be good matches/safeties. All of the universities I have listed above I have visited (except UCB and Fordham). **</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>Improve your GPA, SAT/ACT, and rank for sure. Also, colleges like to see continuity in ECs, not (only Freshman year). UCB, UCLA and USC are definitely reaches for most people and are pretty selective, but your in-state residency may help with the public schools.</p>

<p>One more thing, an admissions member from Harvard said during a conference I attended that colleges LOVE part-time jobs. </p>
