Pitzer

<p>bump... bump</p>

<p>Not really familiar with the colleges, but...
I'd say retake both subject tests
I took both Chem and Math 2, and I found out that even scores appear high, they are actually in low percentiles
according to this link...
<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2005/16_subj_test_percentile_ranks_0506.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2005/16_subj_test_percentile_ranks_0506.pdf&lt;/a>
Your chem is 29th and math 2 is 47th
God bless you in you college process!

<p>Which USC?? And which BU?</p>

<p>UCLA might be difficult, as it is mostly number-based admission. While your GPA is good, your SAT might present a problem.</p>

5

<p>^As for what schools? well i plan on majoring at the moment in applied mathematics or some type of physical science...</p>

6

<p>You'd have to show that you're a good fit at Pitzer to gain admission.</p>

7

<p>@ ivyleaguewannabe - i think that SheerReflection is referring to University of Southern California, since the majority of his schools seem to be in CA.</p>

<p>Your ECs are a bit weak, but you'll probably be able to get into the "lower-tier" UC's if you bump up your SATs.</p>

8

<p>whats your prospective major?</p>

9

<p>nevermind lol, just saw it...</p>

10

<p>"You'd have to show that you're a good fit at Pitzer to gain admission."</p>

<p>And how would i be able to do this?</p>

<p>And yes by USC i mean university of southern california.</p>

11

<p>i suppose its by showing your quirkiness, in the essay and what not</p>

12

<p>Your biggest weakness is def your SATs (I and II). Retake both SAT IIs or take a new one to bring your scores up to par.</p>

13

<p>^ As of right now how do i look with those colleges?</p>

<p>Also i do def. plan on retaking the SATs.</p>

14

<p>I don't think Pitzer cares about 'quirkiness', more like social activism, community involvement, thinking big picture, that sort of thing.</p>

15

<p>^I understand. How about the other schools on my list?</p>
