I just got my ACT score back and it's fricken 27. That's lower than my SAT score!!! Now I'm worried that I won't get into either Irvine or San Diego Here are the other schools I applied to, and I think most of them are longshots.

GPA: (W): 4.0
(UW): 3.6

SAT 1: 1870
SAT 2: Math 2: 800, Lit: 550, U.S. Hist: 620

er.... I guess that's all..

So the schools i applied to:

UCLA
UCB
UCSB
UCSD
UCI
UCD
UMich
USC
NYU
University of Illinois Urbana Champaign

Am I hopeless...

I can only help you with NYU, the school I was accepted into.

NYU emphasizes that there is no real archetypical NYU student, so you never know. However, the SAT they ask for ranges from 2000 to 2200. I got 2140. They ask for three SAT II's, one of which I think is math 2c. (T'was a long time ago). I took US History (770), Literature (760), Biology M (770), and Math (780). They make a big deal out of your EC's, which you didn't list. I listed practically nothing: I liked to write in my spare time (4 hours a week - total fabrication) and I did some sporadic volunteering for the Boys and Girls Club (2 hours a week - again a fabrication). As for teacher recommendations, I had my Junior year english teacher write one. I asked her to emphasize my writing and reading comprehension abilities.

What I think got me in was my major, I made sure to apply for one: Film from the Tisch School. My essay was about an experience over the summer when I went and self-made a short film. Once you decide your major and decide early, you can apply towards that and that is an infinitely better situation than just trying the shotgun approach. To the admissions officers, it shows vision and a definite pathway for yourself. I am sure that if someone started from their freshman year with a dream school and a dream idea of what they want to be, they will get into that dream school without doubt.

er...your math II c score is good. ahaha. honestlyyy? send your sat scores. you have a decent gpa. your score is alright. but for schools..if you really really wanted an acceptance letter? you shoulda just done ucMerced. rofl. i did it. just cus i`ll be getting one and it`ll be from a uc.. x not that i`d ever go. i hope you have amazing ECs and great teacher recs for the privates.

uc`s? i wouldnt bet on it. as in don`t be sure that you`ll get in everywhere because they`re assholes now and they only care about gpa and sat score. plus if you get in some places, they won`t accept you at others.
