<p>Any of those Cal States: You're probably in</p>

<p>University of Pacific: Match, you have a good shot</p>

<p>I second the above poster that you should consider Whittier College and Chapman University. Both are matches.</p>

<p>Also consider Loyola Marymount, which could be a slight reach or a match.</p>

<p>USC: Big reach unless your parents are going to donate a new building</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I thought this thread just got ignored because no one replyed when I checked a day later.</p>

<p>Well, my mom is a alumni of USC pharmacy program, and I wondered if that would help my chances?</p>

<p>i think UoP is a little tougher to get into than most think, but you have some shot of getting in since your gpa is alright. </p>

<p>safties for you are sjsu and arizona. </p>

<p>sdsu is a math/alight reach (because it is getting more and more competitive. i know people with better stats who didn't get in, but don't let that scare you.) because the admit rate is lowering each year. it is at about 50% now.</p>

<p>USC of course is a reach, but who knows.</p>

<p>you'll have good recs since you go to a small school. also if you prep some more for the sat and retake it, i'm sure you'll at least get something like 530/580/530.</p>

<p>Does USC look at a weighted or unweighted GPA?</p>
