Test Preparation
1

<p>I have an 1800 on my SAT's...i'm retaking them in november but i don't know if they will see my score...is it better to send in the application early or does it not matter? I have to submit mine by December 1st. </p>

<p>My gpa is 3.8 unweighted, 4.2 weighted and will be higher by the end of my senior year or mid year report</p>

<p>Something that might make me stand out is that i've taken 15 college classes and gone up to Calculus 3 possibly calculus 4 just cuz i love math : ] and im going to major in neuroscience. i am a cofounder of a family owned hotel and volunteered and had work experience elsewhere. </p>

<p>these are my other choices of colleges:</p>

<p>nyu
colgate
pepperdine
claremont mckenna
stanford
loyola marymount
northwestern
occidental
pitzer
usf
ucla
ucberkely
ucirvine
ucsb
and of course usc..is my first choice.</p>

<p>aww no ucsd?</p>

<p>well i got into sd and irvine with 1950 and 4.0 weighted, decent EC’s.
rejected by berk, LA, Davis.
Didn’t bother applying to SC.</p>

<p>Sorry i can’t be much help since i didn’t apply to that school</p>

<p>USC loves high test scores…thus your chances at a merit scholarship (Dec 1 app date) are near zero. And, those test scores might result in an offer for Spring admission, but fall is a stretch.</p>

<p>Without a hook Stanford and Northwestern are extreme reaches. CMC is a poli sci-econ focused college, so interest in neuro and math will be a negative there.</p>

<p>junshik, are you from California?</p>

<p>You definitely want a higher SAT for USC. Shoot for over 2000 to have a good shot at most of these schools. It will definitely help you to be an in-state student for the UCs.</p>
