<p>If you can improve your SAT, then your chances will greatly increase. I think USC is more of high match for you. You can always ED for one of those and increase your chances. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1561261-chances-ed-pomona-well-ucla-usc-jhu-columbia-stanford-ucsd-cornell.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1561261-chances-ed-pomona-well-ucla-usc-jhu-columbia-stanford-ucsd-cornell.html&lt;/a&gt; Would be great to have your feedback thx</p>

<p>Thanks for the opinions, guys. What do you think of the low GPA compared to everything else (top 2.5%, 24 honors/AP/IB courses)?</p>

<p>If you’re top 2.5% with a 4.55 weighted it won’t hurt you.</p>
