<p>chance please??</p>

<p>n i heard that applying undecided could actually raise your chances for a competitive school such as UCB. Should i apply as undecided rather than as a Business major?</p>

<p>Get your stats to at least these averages for a good shot:</p>

<p>[UC</a> Admissions Statistics](<a href=“http://www.ophs.opusd.k12.ca.us/uc_admissions_statistics.htm]UC”>http://www.ophs.opusd.k12.ca.us/uc_admissions_statistics.htm)</p>

<p>The business program doesn’t start until junior year, can you even apply to Cal as a business major? I would have to agree that Stanford isn’t going to happen.</p>

<p>Last year the mean composite SAT for admitted students at USC was 2108. The university president announced the applicant scores this year were up 25 points. The admissions profile is posted on the SC website in August. You can check that over the summer to determine what the SAT scores are of students who enrolled.</p>

<p>For the business school at SC you would have to raise your SAT score, particularly the mathematics score.</p>
