WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS IN SOCAL WILL EXCEPT ME??</p>
<p>I'll help you bump to hopefully get you some more responses. (I don't know anything about Bio or Public Health schools.)</p>
<p>In the meantime, here's some places to research...
California colleges with Bio major:

<p>California colleges with Public Health programs:

<p>Well is your SAT score the composite (out of 2400) or the Math+Reading? (1600).</p>
<p>If its out of 2400, work really hard to bring that up to the 1900-2000 range if you even want to stand a chance. Your GPA is a little low for SC (3.8 Unweighted average) but if you write a strong essay and raise your SAT to what I said before, you will at least have a shot at it. You do seem to have solid extracurriculars.</p>
<p>Hope I helped a little. I too am applying to USC for Fall 2008.</p>
<p>I'm not too familiar with other socal schools except like the Claremont colleges but yeah, keep researching.</p>
