2

Act too low. With that score USC/UCLA are low/reaches. Raise it to 33+ to be matches.

3

You are actually above average for UCLA but you are out of state. 28 is the average. Decent shot.

You are below average but still in the middle 50% for USC. Decent shot.

You are deeply in the bottom 25% at ND. The average ACT is a 33 at ND. No shot there.

You would be a good applicant to schools like Wake Forest and Villanova. It seems you like that big time sports feel.

4

Don’t underestimate your Native American status. Some people with 31 ACT and 3.8 get in to HYPSM. Believe.

5

might look at Holy Cross.

6

URM status as a NA puts you in the running for the privates.
USC and Notre Dame may be matches.
