I would like to know what the College Confidential community thinks my chances are to be accepted into my target schools, those being: University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), University of Southern California (USC), University of California San Diego, University of Chicago, or University of California Irvine (UCI), Loyola Marymount University (LMU).

Thank You for taking the time to read this, I understand students such as myself must be annoying with so many questions on their chances to get into college.
In addition to your opinion I would love to receive some advice on what I can do to better my chances, or even life advice… Thanks!
