<p>USC & NW both have BA/MD programs. 28 on the ACT will be low for both of those programs. It also is low for their “regular” programs (esp. NW). Example: D was accepted at both USC & Case BA/MD programs; she only applied regular to NW and was rejected; didn’t take the ACT but had 1490/1600 on SATs and slightly higher GPA than yours. </p>

<p>UCLA a stretch (GPA may be a little low if that’s “weighted”). Stanford of course a huge stretch.</p>

<p>I can only help with the schools on the west coast.</p>

<p>Umm… is that your weighted gpa? I’m goint to assume it is.</p>

<p>I would take stanford off- only a 10% admit rate and your scores/grades are a bit too low for that school.</p>

<p>UCLA is another reach esp. since you are out of state. I would choose either USC OR UCLA to apply to and not both.</p>

<p>Both arizona colleges you will definately be accpeted to. (safety) Just pick one of those that you like best.</p>

<p>Are you going to be recruited for Varsity Soccer? I assume when you say you played soccer in those places, it wasn’t simply that you played a pick-up game while on vacation.</p>
