Irvine, SB are matches. Davis is a high match, SD is a low reach, Berkeley is a reach, LA is a reach, CMU is a reach, USC is a low reach

@LomoKuan Thanks! Do you need a chance back? Also, do you know how I can make USC a Match?

@MathFan21 Aren’t apps already due for USC? And I know USC considers extra cirriculars and personal statements from than UCLA, UCSD, etc. But there’s not much you can do to improve your chances for USC; you can’t expect to tweak your supplements and essays a little bit to make it a match. Your GPAs, scores, and E.c’s are what they are, just make your statements the best you can and put your best E.C’s out there.

And sure, chance me if you want to. : (BTW, My Act is actually a 32 instead, my U/W 10-12 GPA is 3.65)
