You sound like you are well on your way. I guess I only question your standardized test scores, as the highest you can get on the SAT is 1600 (EDIT: oops, forgot about the new SAT system..that it's out of 2400. This still seems rather average then scorewise)and 26 on the ACT is VERY average. The website indicates that your GPA will be recaluculated using only "UC-approved" courses from your sophomore and junior years. You may want to recalculate it yourself to determine what they will see.\n\nA good essay about how your extra-curriculars have affected you will be very useful I think!\n\nLook on the UCLA website for tips on how to write an essay they want to see and other things that will help you be a better applicant. And get the application in early! It's always better to be towards the beginning of applicants. It says on the website that applications are only accepted November 1-30 of the year before you wish to attend... so get hopping!

Hello, \nI am currently a tranfer student at USC.  I am a music industry major? will you being coming in as a freshman or transfer?  If you are a freshman, they are real picky.  You need to have a real good SAT score, somewhere in the 1350's or higher.  Each school has different requirements and some are harder to get into then others.  I transfered in from a school in upstate NY.  I transfered with a 3.5.  I handed all my stuff in late and they told me they would not look at it until fall 07, but they did look at it, and called me for an interview.  I am here now.  It's a good school, horrible location, and a shit load of money.  So if you need more specific answers let me know.  colakogl@usc.edu that is my email get me there,\n\nTalk to you soon,\nLucin

Do a bit of homework (yeah, I know, groan-whine-groan). Call the admissions offices of the schools you're interested in and ask them what the median score was for this year's freshmen. As long as you are at the median, your chances of acceptance are solid. However, a higher SAT score can "score" you scholarships, so don't settle for "decent". Prepare for the SAT (and check out the ACT - you may do better on that!) to make sure you score the most points possible. Take a few practice tests - you can attend a free one at your local Kaplan center - to make sure you can handle the last sections of the 4-hour ordeal.  \n\nDo your research, and don't settle!\n\nLighty, \nRegents' Scholar, UCSC

3.5 probably won't cut it, especially considering that most of the students who apply to Stanford have taken extremely tough classes and still have a 4.0. But the important thing is being a well-rounded student. Are you an officer in a lot of clubs? How are your SAT scores? You'll have to score around 2200 to make up for your low GPA. Definitely apply! It's better than always wondering if you might have made it. Good luck!

I recommend that you speak with a transfer admissions counselor at CSU Fullerton and ask what your chances are.  Typically, they are upfront with students.\n\nIn any event, you should never apply to only one university.  Make sure you put in some applications at other schools, too.

She has an excellent chance of getting into UCLA, especially since UCLA changed their admission criteria starting this year.  I recommend:\n\n1) Take the ACT, it is a completely different kind of exam and she may do very well (plus, no penalty for guessing answers); feel free to retake the SAT and ACT as many times as she needs to boost her scores, the UC System will not "look down" on multiple test scores and will only take the highest combined score (not average of all scores).  For test info, see: http://www.actstudent.org/testprep/\n\n2) Write an excellent personal statement; since the change in admission criteria, personal statements are likely to weigh more in the decision process.  Her passion for making a difference for her school is good a point to stress.  For a guideline on how to write your personal statement for the UC System (published by Berkeley but applicable to all UCs), see: http://students.berkeley.edu/files/Admissions/Personal_State_07.pdf\n\nDon't stress out over the SAT score, try the ACT and see how she does.

C, C, C, Just take a guess, I did! You'll do fine, on the SAT. The more you question yourself about it, the worse you will probably do. Good Luck!

Yes!\nGo to: www.afbe.org\nThat's Athletes For A Better Education.\nIt's not free, but they have a whole recruiting process set up.\nThey also provide free links to the NCAA and other helpful sites.\nThey have a very good reputation!\nAs for advice:\n1. Keep your goals in line with your talent. If you're not near UCLA's level, choose schools that you can play at.\n2. Get and keep your grades as high a possible. A coach's first question is almost always about academics. They already know you can play!\n3. Go to www.ncaa.org; Find out your high school core course requirements. Visit the "Clearinghouse"\n4. Take the SAT as soon and as often as you can. The more you take it, the higher your score will be; Translation, the better academic school you can attend.\n5. Fill out your FAFSA Federal aid application, It's free money if you qualify. It's in addition to many athletic scholarships.\n6. Fill out your state financial aid forms (Same reason)

Ok, apply to one of the colleges/universities and see if they will accept you.

unfortunately, not these days.  colleges and universities aren't only looking for a decent GPA, they also want a "well-rounded" student, meaning they want you to participate in clubs, activities, sports, and local community activities/programs (volunteer stuff.) for the ivy league big-boys, you still can't be a total failure, unless they're giving you a sport scholarship, and then you can pretty much teswt lower than wood and still get accepted.  if you're anywhere before your senior year (11th grade or lower) jump into activitites, keep up with your studies, and make sure you have enough tuition money before applying!!!

Apply to Stanford, Berkeley, CalTech, and MIT.\nThese might be reaches but based on the info you've provided, you have a good fighting chance.  If you have the opportunity, try to boost you SAT IIs to 700s; it should increase your chances.  USC won't be easy to get into but it shouldn't be as hard as Stanford.\n\nAt most of those schools with your scores/GPA, you'd count as an average freshman who's attending the school (and it's not bad to be average, since they obviously got in last year).\n\nApply to 2-4 other decent to good schools as an assurance you'll get in somewhere.  These might be ones that are near you geographically.\n\nFor you, I'd suggest a big university, if only in part because of your major.  Small private colleges work best for liberal arts majors and not for math and science people.  Whatever benefit you'd get out of a small school is outweighed by the greater resources of a big university.  If you graduate from the four top schools I mentioned, you should also have employers begging you to work for them after graduation.\n\nHope this helps.  Best of luck.

a 1420/1600 is really good! You'd have a solid enough score to apply to the top 25 nationwide schools, and even some Ivies

As long as it is a reputable school, I would think it would be fine.  GL!

That's a pretty good score. - Congratulations! But it depends on what school you want to get into. Probably some Ivy leagues won't think that's good enough.
