<p>I'm a California resident who would like to stay in-state for college but have NO IDEA of where to apply to. I know for sure the UCs and USC (can you chance me for them???) but other than that I haven't a clue where I might be able to get in. I know the following resume is a bit on the long side but I filled out an application for USC and each heading under extracurriculars was a part on the application's activities section (yes, including the conferences and travel experience one). Please post on this!!! Whatever you have to say will help!!!</p>

SAT IIs: Will be taking Literature and Math 2
ACT: 31 (am retaking twice more)

Rigor of schedule: Have taken hardest classes available each year of high school, only senior at my school with all academic classes
