<p>Can someone give me an idea of what my chances are at getting into USD, LMU, SCU, and Pepperdine?
-I plan on majoring in communications
-I go to a notoriously hard public high school in the area that I live
-My GPA is 3.44
-SAT is 1800
- For AP and honors classes I've taken AP US History, AP Environmental Science, AP Literature, and English 11 Honors...I've tried to take hard classes that suit my strengths and interests and have gotten all A's and high B's in those classes
-Activities include marching band/color guard (4 years), choir (4 years), church youth group (7th grade to 12th grade), church acolyte (7th grade to 12th grade), mission trips to Honduras (built houses) and to a site in Northern California, yearbook staff member at high school (mini mag editor, 10th to 12th grade), Link Crew Leadership at my school during my junior year, was in the spring musical my sophomore year, vocal lessons (9th to 12th grade), president of the Democracy Matters Club at my school.</p>
<p>USD: Low reach
SCU: High match
LMU: Match
Pepperdine: Reach</p>
<p>Do you have a safety (or an acceptance letter)? If not, you can put your act together at a CSU and then transfer into any of those four.</p>
