I tried getting into Yale, Standford, and Harvard, during my senior year, but i didn't get in. I had a 4.4 gpa and a 32 on the ACT and a 2150 on the SAT (damn English!!!!) also 720 on Chem and 800 in math 2. So I will be attending USC (Southern California) this fall and plan on majoring in Chemical Engineering (Biochemical). I just finished summer classes and received A's in Chem 1 and Calc 1 ( that's all I took). If i get a 4.0 my first year do you think ill have a chance of getting in? ps im a minority (hispanic)

It certainly is possible, but even if you don't, know that USC is very well-respected and won't keep you from getting into grad school. You did well on everything, and the fact that you didn't get into any of your choices was probably just due to the fact that there was someone similar to you who was just a little bit stronger who got accepted at all three. You have very little to worry about.

Sometimes universities may not accept you simply because they don't think you're a good "fit" at their school - not because they don't think you're qualified survive the curriculum. If possible, call the school and talk to someone who may be able to answer why you didn't get in and what you need to do to be a stronger candidate the next time around. I know that if you show a school you're very eager to attend, they will note that and may come in handy the next time you decide to apply again.

you might have a chance because your hispanic, also if you try to transfer in with a 4.0 after your freshman year you should be ok. A key factor oftentimes is how much school you will have left after transferring. I had a friend who almost didn't get into University of Michigan because he only had the classes for his concentration left.
Best of luck to you.

definite this is been performed countless situations. you ignore, between the main severe traits an actual 50 college needs you to have is money. in case you pays the $40,000+ to go there, of course they want you. ive even heard of circumstances the place human beings flow from community college to an ivy league college. it does take place.
