Not Much Success Last Post, CHANCES!?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>USC, Cal State Long Beach and Pepperdine</p>

<p>NYU and Pace University </p>

<p>I am a junior in New England. I have a 3.8-3.9 (UW) and 4.40 (W). I take all honors classes and am currently taking one AP class. </p>

<p>I have great ECs. I am a part of five clubs. I am president in one of them and I started one club.</p>

<p>I was a lead volunteer at Yale hospital and have 224 hours of service. I am also a part of the student government. </p>

<p>I got a 149(0) on my PSATs, but I was sick that day and I studied for about 30 minutes. I am not making any excuses. </p>

<p>Will that ruin my chances for those schools?</p>

<p>I will STUDY HARD for the SATs and I have enrolled in Kaplan!</p>

<p>The SAT/ACT is what counts, not so much the PSAT, so no a 149 will not ruin your chances. I’d aim for a 650 in each of those categories (as the minimum). I’m not for sure about Pepperdine or USC, but at the other colleges it seems like you have a pretty good shot. Just try to get more leadership roles, great recommendations, and write your essays well. Plus, you might think about taking the SAT Subject Tests, check with each university that you are looking at to seem if they require them, and if so, which tests. Good luck!</p>

<p>Are you saying I don’t have a good shot at USC or are you saying you don’t know much about them?</p>
