<p>you probably know already, but you need to raise your math and cr scores…your writing section saved you and i think its the least important of the three…but anyways still pretty good.</p>

<p>Berkeley:high match
USC: in
UCLA: high match
Pomona: reach</p>

<p>idk the rest. try your best. :slight_smile: thanks for chancing me</p>

<p>thanks guys (:
bump!
oh, and the USC legacies are from my parents’ graduate degrees…does that make a difference?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that doesn’t make a difference. At least I hope not for my case.
I especially agree with Wakka. It does vary from school to school, but I think in general a lot of these old undergraduate admissions officers don’t see it on the same level as CR + M.</p>

<p>Also, I think Pomona’s big thing is interest, so I think you should really go there and show A LOT of interest, especially because you live in California.</p>

<p>i’ve heard that only undergraduate degrees are used to determine legacy, but i’m not sure. does anyone know?</p>

<p>Berkeley, UCLA, Pomona are high matches, Vassar, Irvine, and Wellesley are good matches, and the rest, I’d say you’re in.</p>

<p>You can find an inspired topic if you’re only a rising senior! Just remember to let the college know why you’re special and why they want you.</p>
