<p>-Danced at the Rocky Mountain School of Dance for 4-5 years; this team has won a lot of awards. My friend herself has won 3rd places in national dancing competitions, and her team’s won 1st in areas before.</p>
<p>She volunteers to teach dancing to little kids.</p>
<p>She also tutors math.</p>
<p>-4.0 GPA, not sure weighted</p>
<p>-NHS for 3 years.</p>
<p>Um, I think that’s all I can think of for now…</p>
<p>All the UCs are reaches because you’re from Colorado. UCLA would be a BIG reach even if you were instate. USC and Boulder are both probably reaches as well.</p>
<p>UCLA: High reach
UC - Santa Barbra: Low Reach
UC - Long Beach: Low Reach
UC - San Diego: Reach
University of Souther California: Reach
University of Nevada - Las Vegas: not sure
University of Denver: not sure
University of Colorado - Boulder: match</p>
<p>I’m from California and I think she definitely means CSULB…I’m not aware of a UC Long Beach. And I live in Long Beach. :)</p>
<p>But I’m applying to CSULB, and I know some kids that have gotten in that had worse GPA’s/scores than you, so I think you have a good chance except that I don’t know how the in-state/out-of-state standing will affect you.</p>
<p>Not to discourage your friend, but it is very unlikely she will be admitted to UCLA, UCSB, or UCSD. I don’t think she should apply to any state or UC schools. The odds are against out-of-staters.</p>
<p>However, if she loves california that much, she should apply to some privates! With her ACT, GPA, and Ecs she certainly has a shot. </p>
<p>Some suggested schools:</p>
<p>pepperdine university- match
loyola marymount university-match
chapman university-match
university of southern california (this one is a reach for her, but it’s still worth a shot)</p>
<p>I didn’t catch her intended major, but LMU and Chapman have a dance major. While the others have good implementation of dance in their colleges.</p>
<p>Oh, and yes hairspray was good-John Travolta. lol</p>
