<p>colleges:
Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo
UC Irvine
UC Davis
UCLA
University of Southern California
Carnegie Mellon (architecture)
U. of Chicago
Georgetown U.
i know some of these^ are extremely difficult to get in, but, anything can happen
Im planning to major in either whatever major I need for forensics pathology or architecture. </p>

<p>Any other schools to recommend?
Plus, is taking the ACT a good idea?</p>

<p>Please make me cry or surge with hope :] and of course, be honest.</p>

<p>I think Carnegie Mellon, U. of Chicago, and Georgetown U are all reaches, but the others are probably decent matches.</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>UChicago, Georgetown, CMU, and to some extent Cal Poly are reaches if you don’t bring those scores up, but everything else seems OK.</p>

5

<p>Once again, U of C, G-Town, and CMU are all high match/low reach schools. I would say definetly take the ACTs if you get the oppurtunity. A lot of people do decent on the SATs, but are able to blow the ACts out of the water. You may be one of those people. Very Impressive ECs.</p>

<p>I’m only familiar with UChicago, but the essays matter a whole ton. Bring your SAT scores up, and write, write, write!!</p>

<p>Thank you for your advice!</p>

<p>Don’t a lot of the schools you are applying to not have architecture? Where are Cornell, syracuse, and RISD, to name a few?</p>

10

<p>hmm, i know that cal poly, USC ,UCLA, and Carnegie have architecture schools. im still wavering between architecture and another major that the other colleges offer.</p>

<p>i dont know much about cornell and syracuse, but ill research them a bit.
Thanks.</p>
