Safety/midrange schools to add to my list? (Top choices: USC & NYU)

<p>With your grades, initiative you show on cc, National Merit and predicted SAT’s based on PSAT, every school you list is within your reach. You would be a likely candidate for a trustee award at USC which would pay 100% of tuition. See the merit award discussion for other USC merit awards on the USC cc section. USC does not have a separate merit award application, but other schools may if they offer merit awards, so be sure to apply.
If all goes well as it seems it will, your problem will be choosing among your acceptances! Enjoy your senior year and chill.</p>
