<p>USC - match-slight reach
UCLA - match-slight reach
Stanford - far reach
UCB - slight reach
UCSB - safe match
Pepperdine - safety
UCI - safe match
NYU - match-slight reach

<p>USC: slight reach
UCLA: slight reach
Stanford: possible
UCB: slight reach-reach
UCSB: match
UCI: match
NYU: match-slight reach</p>

<p>Your SAT score is a bit low. Your passion for the flute could definitely help you get into Stanford, but that SAT score is weighting you down.</p>

5

<p>wat sat score would you reccomend for USC or UCLA to be considered a “match”? USC is my #1 choice</p>

6

<p>i think high 2000’s low 2100’s would make you a match.</p>

7

<p>Just focus on raising the CR, that alone would probably keep you out of USC…</p>

8

<p>raise the CR section. and your flute stuff is amazing:</p>

<p>USC - high match
UCLA - high match
Stanford - reach
UCB - high match
UCSB - low match
Pepperdine - safety
UCI - low match
NYU - match
Chapman - safety
Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles - safety</p>

<p>thanks for the responses everyone. yea, i suck at cr. i think i can raise it though cause i have been concentrating more on math than on cr when i study. </p>

<p>i’m hoping the flute stuff will help. i was also 2nd chair in a california all-state high school wind orchestra. i was suprised that i even got chosen to be in the band cause only 10 ppl were selected in ca. i will be in it again this year (i am a junior) and hopefully be 1st chair instead of second chair. </p>

<p>any other ppl want to comment on my chances?? please feel free</p>

10

<p>2nd chair in CA?!?!?! dam dude. you must rock.</p>

11

<p>besides the SAT scores, is there anything that I should improve on for ucla or usc?? wat would u say are my strengths and weaknesses?? thanks again guys</p>
