<p>Background:
I am a white female senior attending an upper middle class high school. I have a 3.2 GPA, 33 ACT score, and 2140 SAT score. I was varsity track for 3 years, participated in girl scouts and choir since 4th grade, write articles for the school newpaper, and manage the social media accounts for a small fashion boutique in my town.
Questions:
What colleges would you recommend for me as a good fit?
Do I have a chance at getting into the University of Southern California or Boston College?</p>
<p>Any feedback is appreciated. Please don't be unnecessarily negative. Thank you! </p>
<p>Great test scores, but the GPA will cripple your chances at schools like that. Move down the ranking to find schools that will be very interested in your test scores - there may even be some merit money out there at schools who wish to bring in high scoring students to boost their average test scores. </p>
<p>Knew someone with nearly your scores (lower GPA, higher ACT) a few years ago who had no trouble getting in a school like Chapman U. after getting rejected from high level schools. Not saying USC and BC are totally out of the picture, but I’d have a backup plan on the Chapman level. Your GC should also have some good suggestions.</p>
