Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey, here's my stats. I visited USC twice (I don't know if they count that) and sent in my application on the 10th. LMU is just a safety in LA, beautiful campus, and it's Catholic (which my Mom likes)</p>

<p>White Male
UW GPA: 3.80
W GPA: 4.44
Rank: 12% (Ugh...)
ACT #1 (12/05): 36 Eng, 35 Math, 36 Read, 32 Sci, 35 Comp
ACT #2 (06/06): 33 Eng, 34 Math, 33 Read, 36 Sci, 35 Comp
Did not take SAT
AP Calc AB: 5
All honors and AP classes except for 4 during underclassmen years
First generation college student
Nebraska Private (Catholic) HS
A's in everything excepts B+ in some Math and Science classes
Good Rec from Math teacher/department head for 3/4 years</p>

<p>ECs
Student Council (4yrs) VP 2 yrs
FBLA 2 yrs
Bsktball 1 yr
Intramurals 4 yrs
Operation Others (feeds 1600 families during Christmas) Core Team 1 yr
Ministry Council 1 yr
EMHC 2 yrs

<p>Special things
Math day 2005/06 statewide competition (placed 2nd in the state)
--Hoping this will help out with my Rec
NYLF tech 05 (I think people here will know what that is)
--Our team placed 1st in our division and top 10 of 180 teams
Outstanding Math Student of the year 05/06</p>

<p>Some other stuff that I can't remember</p>

<p>USC is my first choice, and I hope that I will be in the running for a scholarship. I know my weaknesses are not being a NMSF and class rank, but I hope my rec, essay, and first gen college student will overpower that. LMU is a safety, does anyone know my chances of a scholarship there?</p>

<p>Thanks

<p>Dude, I have about the same stuff as you, but am A BEANER, SO I GET THE NOD........But seriously, I think we both have a shot at THE C.</p>

<p>I hate it when minorities title themselves with the "Afirmative Action" ****.</p>

<p>You're only discriminating upon yourself if you title yourself as a "beaner" and immediately think that you should get some free advantages just for that.</p>

<p>If you're a self-titled a "beaner", even if you get into USC, on the long run, you'll still be discriminated upon in society.</p>

<p>I agree stressedOut.</p>

<p>Any serious opinions?</p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>im applying to usc as well and i have really similar stats...only difference is that i took SAT (1420), but your ACT score is amazing</p>

<p>i think we both have a good chance, but good luck</p>

<p>Many students are admitted who aren't NMSFs, so don't be discouraged about that. My niece was admitted as a NMF commended but is attending Notre Dame instead.<br>
LMU is a beautiful school & we toured it but my S found it too small & didn't apply. He's very happy at USC in engineering; your ACT scores & rank & GPA are higher than his (his composite was 34). He was a NMF.</p>
