<p>You probably have a better chance at USC and NYU then UCLA and I would consider them both matches not safeties. UCLA is very tough for out of state. I’m not quite sure what you were interested in studying but UCLA also does not have an IR major. Are looking at IR schools? (your list looks like it). Also with NYU ,if my assumption is correct, the IR department is very small and you have to apply to the major your sophomore year.</p>
<p>Thank you hec, i appreciate your input =)</p>
<p>I will consult my list with my college counsellor in the upcoming week - to establish some safeties/a final list. Until then, i would still like to see more advice. Thank you all!</p>
