<p>If your principal would give you a good recommendation, I don’t see how that would be a bad thing:) As far as your statistics go, I would try to work on improving your SAT. However, if you find yourself doing significantly better on the ACT, you can always send that as an alternative. From the information you have provided us with, I would say:
- University of California, San Diego - reach
2)University of Washington, Seattle - match - University of California, Irvine - match
- University of California, Davis - high match
5)Boston University, Boston - match
6)University of Southern California, Los Angeles - mid reach
Good luck!</p>
