1. Pepperdine University

SAT IIs: Chemistry - 550, Math Level II - 700
Class Rank: Top Quarter
APs/Honors Courses Taken: 3 APs, 4 Honors
Major: Studio Art (Does that help my chances?)
Essay: I plan to write about how I bring diversity into the college with my passion for art, and how my family was against me being an artist because they wanted me to be a doctor, lawyer, etc.</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars: (In Order of Most Impressive)

<p>I want to go to any of the colleges mentioned above! My scores are low, but I plan on majoring in Art because I am very passionate about it, and I hope to have a career involving it. I'm submitting an Art Portfolio to every college. Any tips for getting in would also be helpful! Thanks in advance for your imput!</p>

<p>By the way, I’m not yet a senior, so I plan to raise my GPA then.</p>

<p>And I’m applying too some Christian colleges, and I’m not Christian, but I’m Buddhist and Hindu, so I’m religious.</p>

<p>I’ve won awards for Art at competitions and school achievement awards from my teachers.</p>

<p>Hope this helps a little more.</p>

<p>Sorry idk about most of the schools you are asking for but for UCLA ,which i assume is the hardest to get into out of all these schools, if you are a CA resident that is. If you arent a CA resident that is a different story. Your ACT and SAT scores are almost identical, but you should atleast take one of them again and try to improve. We have the exact same stats except my weighted is .1 better, haha. But just try to get your GPA up a little if possible and you have a good shot.</p>
