Please just leave feedback on what schools I have a good chance getting into and things I can do to improve my chances. Thank YOU!
Don’t apply to UCLA or USC. I live in Los Angeles and they are nothing special, especially USC. Not a great city for a college student. Also I would pick Duke over Penn.
Thank you!
Consider the comments of the first poster personal, as it certainly could not be the opinion of the majority who made one of those schools the most popular school in the nation … and the other school it’s most worthy rival!
The UCs are dang expensive for non-CA residents so might not deserve a spot on your list anyway, quality aside. Depending on budget.
^This. For the price the UCs charge OOS applicants, you can get a Harvard degree with no financial aid or you can get a UCLA degree (hypothetical example)
Your GPA / rank looks good, and your business sounds really impressive! I think your chances at most of your schools are good (dunno about UPenn / Duke), although the UCs are pretty expensive if you’re OOS.
