<p>You have a decent GPA but your subject test scores are killing you for the schools you have listed. If it’s possible, you should retake them on the October or November testing dates and try to aim for above a 700. That’ll keep you in the competition for USC, UCLA, and Berkeley. Other than that, everything else looks great. You have good leadership, ECs, awards, and the sob story could help you out.</p>
<p>I agree with franticpizza. Try a re-take to help you. Also, do you live in-state? That would help you immensely.</p>
<p>do you guys think someone would have a chance if they’re OOS?</p>
<p>Of course, but it’s much harder if you’re OOS.</p>
