<p>You should apply to colleges that make the ACT/SAT optional! Your classes are challenging and your GPA is good.</p>
<p>That SAT will really hurt your chances at USC though. There’s a HUGE list of colleges, including some large state schools. There are some really solid programs, so definitely check it out!

<p>Also, you don’t need classes to improve your SAT score. Look up the xiggy or ziggy method on CC. (I can’t remember what it’s called, but a LOT of people on this board swear by it and it’s free!)</p>
<p>Good luck! And remember, if you can’t get in the first time, do your best at a university you think you’ll be happy with, but if it doesn’t work out, you can always transfer. :)</p>
