Chance a less-than-mediocre Asian (USC, UCs)

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Here are the basics. I go to a Jesuit Catholic all guy high school which is VERY competitive.
I am a very lazy Asian. My dream school is USC. I live in a wealthy neighborhood that USC loves to accept (you know why).
UC GPA: 3.5
Cum: 3.73
SAT combined: 1980 < x < 2050. Math around 650, CR around 640, writing around 740. I still don’t know my October score and just took November
SAT IIs: 700 USH, 720 Lit, 670 Math II
awards: none
sports: two years of long distance track
EC: like none. of course there are those clubs like Korean Club, Philosophy Club, that don’t interest the colleges. summer course at community college, church retreats, JSA Symposium '08 for a week.
My brother went to USC and my dad received a business award from it also (aka legacy)
Community service: 50 hours + another 100 in the near future
Colleges: USC, UCI, UCD, UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UC Riverside, UCSB, Boston U, Loyola Marymount, Boston College</p>

<p>Assume that my essays are very strong, SAT scores average, GPA lower than average</p>

<p>Are there weighted classes at your school? Did you challenge yourself? If the answer is no, and yes, then it is very possible that the higher schools like UCLA/USC are matches. However, as of now, all the CA schools are small reaches to reach except for UCR.</p>

<p>The UC’s are very GPA-oriented.</p>

<p>Not sure about the other schools.</p>

<p>Assuming you are in-state of course…</p>

<p>YOur gpa is low, so are your current SATs. Also, you are very lacking in the EC department. I mean they are decent but not good enough to cover low stats.
USC - in
UCB, reach
UCLA, reach
UCSD match
UC Riverside match<br>
Boston U reach
Loyola Marymount in
Boston College reach</p>

<p>You might want to consider Holy Cross which is also Jesuit like BC and outside Boston and ranked #35 on US News rankings. HC is only 2800 students but on top ten list of most beautiful campuses per Princeton Review.</p>
