<p>I am a very strong writer so I do not believe that essays will be an issue and my grade trends are really good.</p>

<p>I'm looking at schools such as UNC, UMich, USC, UCLA, Purdue, and NYU.</p>

<p>Any Opinions?</p>

<p>purdue should be easy.
raise your test scores and maintain good grades for umich, usc, ucla, unc. The average scores there range from anywhere from 30 (lower 25th percentile) to 34 (upper 25th percentile). UCLA requires SAT so do good on that. Minnesota is underrepresented so that may give you a boost as well.</p>

<p>good luck and keep up the good work!</p>

<p>I am fairly certain that I will apply to UNC and UMich via early action, do you believe that point would increase my odds?</p>

<p>I don’t believe that UCLA requires a SAT score. Can anyone verify?</p>

<p>You’ll get into Purdue just fine. Considering they have a 70%+ acceptance rate… you’ll be fine. What is your weighted GPA? UCLA, I believe, looks at how high the weighted GPA is also. You do have a good chance though. You need to have high SAT and SAT 2 scores for UCLA.</p>

<p>@joshrosenthal726: UCLA definitely requires SAT score along with 2 mandatory SAT 2s.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t calculate weighted GPAs unfortunately. Thank you for informing me about the SAT and SAT II requirements.</p>

<p>No problem. I’d also recommend that you go to UCLA and not Purdue if what you want to study is equally strong in both schools. Purdue is in such a boring location compared to UCLA. The closest big city is an hour away and Chicago is 2 hours away.</p>

<p>Yeah, Purdue is more of a safety. UCLA is definitely preferred.</p>
