<p>To get to the 75th SAT percentile for UCB/RPI/CMU/USC and really boost your chances you may want to shoot for 2150+. A 32-33 ACT should give you a really good shot.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, thanks for chancing me and i would completely love to help you but I do not know these schools But I can say that with the IB program and your good ECs you have a good chance to get into a great college. Good luck!!</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance you are in a way better situation than me, but I know someone with stats lower than yours & they got in USC, UCLA, CAL TECH & San diego state…I need help so can u chance me also? I have a problem because I did both home school & regular school but I only sent in the home school transcript & info on all my applications. I graduated in 2010 from the home school I did all 4 yrs there & only 3 in reg school I only got 1100 on my SAT (i know its bad) but I got mostly A’s & B’s in home school & like 2 C’s thats it my final gpa was 4.0 but I didnt do so good at the reg school so I only sent the home school transcript. I am thinking that now I might get in trouble because the schools have my social security # & I heard they can/will check to see all of your academic history & they might find out about the other school which could mess my chances up. I am thinking I’ll get fined, revoked or jail time…plz help & chance me I applied to 6 universities, 1 just accepted me 2 days ago but that 1 didnt require my ssn#</p>
But I can say that with the IB program and your good ECs you have a good chance to get into a great college. Good luck!!</p>
