UF, Pomona, Pepperdine are top 3 favorites... any others? </p>

<p>thanks!!</p>

<p>Pepperdine- reach
Pomona- pipedream
If you want to consider the southern Cali area you may want to look at Pitzer College ( in the Claremont college system with Pomona), or maybe Occidental College. Your test scores need improvement to be more competitive at the LACs</p>

<p>lol, "pipedream"... what should i be aiming for with the more compeitive LACs? ill prolly score in the 1300s upon retake (its only a 10pt improvement)... what about UF? its pretty much the school for about 20 out of the top 25 people in the class of '06... is it really a good public? plus with our Bright Futures it's free.... hmmmmm, in any case, what would be considered some "safties" or "matches" for me?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>
