What are my chances at USC / UCLA if I do early action for either?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm planning ahead btw...
I am currently a junior in high school. I'm a California resident living in the valley (my location sucks, so that's a plus), and my school is part of the ELC program. So far, this is how my high school days have been going:</p>

<p>GPA AND SAT SCORES
Current Cumulative Weighted GPA (non-UC): 4.72
Current Cumulative Weighted GPA (UC): 4.13
Current Cumulative Unweighted GPA: 3.8</p>

<p>SAT Score: 1970 (I've only taken it once)
Critical Reading - 580
Mathematics - 720
Writing - 670</p>

<p>Top 4% of my class (ranked #2 as of now out of 170)
Over 400 service hours</p>

<p>E/C's
-Top of my Freshman class award with a weighted GPA of 4.619 average
-4 years Marching Band, Steel Drums, Jazz Band, and piano playing for School Masses
(*I'm very good at playing piano and drumset) I get lots of service hours for this.
-Honor Band percussionist
-4 years Member of a CLC group (Christian Learning Community)
-3 years Hip-Hop Club President
-1 year Junior Class President
-Been playing piano since 2nd grade
-Not doing any sports (mainly because I have asthma that's really bad)
-2 years Academic Decathlon team junior and senior year
-2 years Link Crew member
-2 years CSF Secretary junior and senior year
-2 years Student Ambassador
-Tutor</p>

<p>(when I say 4 years, I mean I'm going to do that in total years for the rest of high school)</p>

<h1>1, USC and UCLA dont have EA…</h1>

<p>As for UCLA - you are a borderline applicant, maybe 30-40% chance acceptance
For USC - you are borderline as well, maybe 40-50% chance, or lower</p>

<p>ahh i didnt know that. well thx for telling me my chances. it seems like both are reaches T_T man this is scary. what do you think i should work on? SAT?</p>

<p>Ok, so by looking at ur UC GPA and weighted GPA, ur school evidently inflates GPA… (just a note)
Ur EC’s are great
I assume average Essays/Recs
at a 2100 SAT, u’d be a match for both schools
at 2200 - u’d be in at both schools
at 2050 SAT - u at a 50/50</p>

<p>so ya, work on ur SATs and SAT IIs -also, try to take some more AP classes senior year</p>
