<p>To be honest you sound very average. I am assuming you are instate California (I don't how much of a chance you have at the public universities there). USC is probably a good match for you but far from a sure thing (it seems as though you have few extracurriculars and that could hurt you A LOT in almost all of these schools' admissions pools). Northwestern is a high reach for you and NYU is a reach as well. You might want to check out some less competitive schools like American in D.C. or something like that. What are you planning on majoring in?</p>
