<p>what state do you live in?</p>

<p>I live in Cali. I love the weather but would be willing to move since I’ve been moving around about every three years</p>

<p>how is this a dilemma -_-x</p>

<p>Evidently the OP does not have an accurate understanding of the word “dilemma.”</p>

<p>Since you live in California and have good stats, I’m positive schools like UCSD, UCR, UCI would all accept you.</p>

<p>USC has the Thematic Honors program, which is limited to the top 100 students- small [30 students],writing intense “big picture” humanities based classes with great professors during your first 2 years. You would probably also qualify for their science honors classes, which have the highest rated professors teaching them[ again in much smaller classes]. You might also qualify for a Presidential or Trustees scholarship. [what were your PSAT scores?] USC love’s to bring in hi stat students like you. If you decide to apply, BE SURE TO SEND IN YOUR APPLICATION NO LATER THAN DEC 10 [ check this date to be sure] in order to qualify for scholarship consideration. You can do this even if you apply SCEA to Stanford, because of the scholarship deadline. You’ll hear in Feb if you get in with a scholarship.</p>

<p>Is U of Chicago on your list as well?</p>

<p>Michigan-Ann Arbor would be a good safe match for you. You would most likely get a good scholarship and would have a solid chance of getting into the honors college of the college of LSA as well as possibly get pre-admitted into Ross, Michigan’s B-school.</p>

<p>Haha, sorry. I must admit that the title is more of an attention grabber. Anyways, I might put UChicago on my list depending on how many school I apply to and how it falls on the reach/ match/ safety list.
Thanks to all who replied.</p>
