Sat score: composite - 1910. CR: 620 MATH: 630 WRITING: 660 (I know it’s not great, I tried my best to get it up but I just couldn’t for some reason, I’m afraid this will be the reason why I don’t get into certain schools)

My declared major is either going to be history or political science, not totally sure. Can you guys give me any advice on what majors are easier to get into for certain schools? (Or is that a total myth haha)

I know some of these are really hard to get into but I’m just wondering if I should even bother applying (I know UC deadline already passed but for the others).

CHANCE ME FOR (I realize all of these schools are pretty different. I’m not 100% sure what kind of school I want to go to yet but I like all of these schools):

tough to say, but i think jackisawesome was a little harsh

@theofrelord haha, if you don’t mind me asking why is it tough to say? Thanks for commenting!

Your SAT scores may be at the lower end of the spectrum, but your commitment to varsity, piano, and debate club probably evens it out. In the end, it’s 50/50 for you, other than USC which is probably a high reach.

@just4school thanks!

Bump please!!
