<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at both schools if you maintain your grades, and get an A in math next semester. </p>

<p>UCLA- match
USC - match</p>

3

<p>If you keep those grades and get at least a 2100 on the SAT, both would be matches</p>

4

<p>bumpppp…</p>

5

<p>you have a pretty solid chance at both schools… you’ve been consistent with good grades, just write a good essay and get a got sat score</p>

6

<p>They’re both matches but UCLA seems more likely</p>

<p>Chance me! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1593643-chance-me-upenn-uva-chicago-michigan-usc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1593643-chance-me-upenn-uva-chicago-michigan-usc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Assuming a 2100 on your SATs, then you’re a statistical ‘Match’ for both schools. That said, both schools have ~20% admit rates; whenever a school rejects 4 out of 5 applicants I encourage people to view them as Reaches. </p>

<p>Public universities tend to be much more stats driven, in that sense UCLA is probably a more likely “yes”. That’s not to say USC is a “No”, but in ‘holistic admissions’ it always feels tough to get comfortable with a particular profile of ECs etc. I think you’ll be accepted at SC but be ready for the possibility of a “No”.</p>

<p>Both matches- just write great essays and you’ll have really solid chances. Also, I don’t say this to a lot of people, but you have a real shot at the ivies- if you’re interested, you should really look into that possibility.</p>
