Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Everyone's stats here are pretty intimidating, but I was wondering about my chances for the UCs (berkeley, LA, san diego, irvine, santa barbara) and also BU, USC, and Syracuse. I'd like to go into journalism, or just something in communications in general. Also, i'm pretty much scared to death that I might not get into any of those so should I apply to some back up cal states?</p>
