<p>I think you have a low shot at USC, NYU, and UCLA, but I think you should be in UCSD and UCI for sure</p>

<p>Think you have a good shot at those schools considering that you are low income and those stats are very nice, the SAT being a bit on the lower side for the UC’s. Chance me back? ^^link above</p>

<p>bump!</p>

6

<p>If you are low income, why in the world would you apply to NYU? Their Financial aid is awful.</p>

7

<p>UCLA: Low Reach
UCSD/USC: High Match
UCI: Match
NYU???</p>

8

<p>Thank you @Gumbymom @xgarrison96‌ @vs1997‌ !!!</p>

9

<p>Yeah idk about NYU… was just wondering. You have suggestions for schools that have great financial aid that my profile fits? @"aunt bea"‌ @aunt bea</p>

10

<p>Crap GPA and average test scores.
UCLA - high reach
UCSD - reach
UCI - low reach</p>

11

<p>@Mangiafuoco‌ lol what? Scores and grades aren’t perfect, but “crap” really?</p>

12

<p>Stick with the UC’s since the state has a number of financial aid programs that will help you. </p>

<p>USC is too high a reach. They only give ½ tuition which means you would still have to pay the other half of the tuition AND room/board (~$40K).</p>

13

<p>UCSD: match
UCLA: slight reach
USC: slight reach
NYU: slight reach
UCI: meh safe/match</p>

14

<p>honestly, you really should apply for some safeties. Your current list is pretty dangerous, in the sense that it’s possible that none will accept you (not trying to scare you, honest!), especially with that 3.5 GPA going into some pretty prestigious universities. </p>

15

<p>I would say that your numbers arent great (maybe below average for the schools ypuve listed). I really hope you have enough safety schools so u dont cry wehn u see bunch of rejection letters. Idk why u r applying to USC and NYU but those r both very expensive and high reach for you. But good job on being top 10% of your class! That might cover up your relatively low gpa but who knows</p>

16

<p>Thanks for the feedback guys! :slight_smile: Yeah the GPA is the only thing I’m a little worried about. I’m expecting an ACT score way higher though like around 33 or so. I’m also applying to Chapman, Pepperdine, UCD, UCSB, UCSC. NYU and USC probably won’t give me the money I need (if I was to even get in) but what other schools do you guys think would be good “safe” schools?</p>

<p>Major: Economics or Economics/Math</p>

17

<p>Bump</p>

18

<p>UCSD High Match
UCLA low reach
NYU reach
USC reach
UCI March/safety</p>
