<p>My dream school is USC, but I'm interested in Columbia, Stanford, and Northwestern as well. What are my chances?</p>

<p>I haven't decided what I want to pursue yet, but am considering applying to Viterbi with an Undeclared Engineering major since no additional requirements are needed. Are my chances of overall acceptance better if I just apply to Dornsife (Arts and Humanities)?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I’d say you’ll get into USC. I had way worse stats and almost no ECs and I got in. That’s all I can really offer.
Make sure your essays show that you’re well rounded and don’t focus on just one facet in your supplement answers. Best of luck!</p>

<p>so jealous of your SAT score haha. I’d say your probably in at USC, and it’s iffy for the other three, although I’d say your chances at Northwestern aren’t bad. Good luck, no matter what , you’ll end up doing great things.</p>

<p>Why would you retake the ACT with a 2300 SAT? Waste of time and money</p>

<p>Most likely will get into USC.
Stanford, Columbia, and Northwestern are high reaches.</p>
