<p>Lifeofsolitude, unfortunately that test score will likely be an extremely long-shot for Northwestern and USC, unless you are a star on your instrument. UCLA will take you on a great audition, if you meet UC eligibility. [University</a> of California - Statewide path](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/california-residents/admissions-index/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/california-residents/admissions-index/index.html) It appears that you will likely need about a 3.85 UC GPA to qualify. (Please double check this, just going by what my D was told 2 years ago). UTA is a bit more flexible and from what I recall, you can petition in some way if you are admitted to Butler but not the university.</p>
