<p>PLEASE HELP ME, IT WILL NOT HURT YOU, THANK YOU!</p>

2

<p>UCLA- reach
USC-reach
UCI-match
UCSD-low reach
no idea about pomona and occidental</p>

3

<p>UCLA: high reach
USC: reach
UCI: In/match
UCSD: high reach.
Occidental: high reach: I got rejected with a 1790 last time. (although I needed a lot of aid)</p>

4

<p>UCLA - high reach
USC - med/high reach
UCI - match
UCSD - low/med reach
Pomona college - impossible
occidental - match</p>

<p>you have a low gpa and from the looks up your weighted, not many advanced courses
interesting ECs, might give you a chance in higher UCs
sats are average as are ap scores</p>

<p>pomona is hella hard to get in. my college counselor said i had no shot at all and i’m applying to some tough schools
maybe try pitzer?</p>

5

<p>Dose the Extra- curricular helps at all?</p>

6

<p>by the way! i forgot to mention that i am from Arcadia High. it is sort of a competitive school, like 36th in California. Does that help at all?</p>

7

<p>Coming from a competitve school doesn’t help that much.
UCLA - higher SAT score and GPA recquired, reach
USC - same as above but views applicants more holistically, known for high standarized test cores, less of a reach
UCI - match
UCSD - higher gpa/test scores
Pomona - reach
Please chance back</p>

8

<p>UCs place emphasis on sat I and II scores and UC GPA. Ecs don’t help unless you do something extraordinary. Ecs will help with USC though - they said they view applicants holistically</p>

9

<p>Is the essays really important?</p>

10

<p>“Pomona college - impossible”</p>

<p>So should i still apply for Pomona or just quit? please chance back!!!</p>
