I think you have a good shot GPA wise. Your SAT score might be a little concerning but I’m sure it’ll be fine. And don’t worry about the AP thing, colleges will look at your grades and classes in the context of your schooling.

Even though your SAT is low, I think you would still get in. If you are instate, then you have a great chance.

Please Chance Me back

UCLA: Low Reach/High Match

SAT below 25 percentile but GPA and EC’s are competitive. It could go either way.

UCLA: Low reach

I suppose it depends how much they value SATs, but I think your GPA and ECs definitely make up for it.
Good luck!

Thanks to all of you, quick update, I took the ACT for the first time and got a 26 if that makes any difference, do you think id have the same chance with usc as well?

No, ACT does not help your chances. If you are targeting UCLA, you need to be around 31+ or higher.
