Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am currently a male junior in high school in Colorado. I know that USC is a private school and it does not matter what state you are applying from, however it still seems that they do give somewhat of an edge to california students.</p>

<p>USC has been my number 1 choice for many years now. I was just wondering if i have a good chance of getting into USC when i apply next year. Here are my stats...</p>

<p>GPA (after junior year)
weighted- 3.97
unweighted- 3.7</p>

<p>~I am in the top 13% of my high school</p>

<p>extracurriculars
~Lettered in Debate and Debate 3 years (will a 4th time)
~I have received an academic letter 2 years in a row
~I have ran Cross Country for every year in high school and have lettered in it.
~I am a member of NHS for my 2nd year
~I am involved in Creek Connects (helping 8th grades transition from middle school to high school)
~I am a student shadow
~I am in Amnesty International for my 1st year
~I am Hoping to be a peer ambassador next year
~I volunteer at my church and at Children's Hospital this year**
~i have volunteered for the special olympics (helping mentally disabled childern swim)**
**I am putting in about 6 hours of volunteering a week
~I am also going to do Summer program at USC where you go and take classes and live in the dorms for a month.</p>

<p>I am interested in doing USC's pre dental program</p>

<p>I have just meet the USC recruiter and have been keeping in touch with him, i will also have an interview during spring break at USC</p>

<p>This year i am taking 3 APs (AP language, AP US Government, and AP Human Geography) Next year i will take at least 4 APs.</p>

<p>I have not taken the ACT or SAT but i am hoping i get a 30 or 32 on my ACT and a 2050-2250 on my SAT</p>

<p>I know i will have a very good essay and very good letters of recommendation</p>

<p>THe Last couple of years USC has become very competitive, I REALLY want to go to USC... What are my chances?!?!?!? Please be brutally honest</p>

<p>Don't stress out so much -- I'm pretty sure the average unweighted gpa for USC is around your range, which is 3.7 . Just do well on your SATs, and you have a good shot, assuming your ECs are solid (I didn't bother scrutinizing them).</p>

<p>well, i'll be brutally honest....</p>

<p>since you're a junior, there's no use getting chanced; for usc, SAT/ACTs count for a lot</p>

<p>USC's median GPA is ~3.75, since most of the higher range students end up at UCLA/Cal. They do emphasize the SAT though, so you can't know for sure until you have those scores. 2050 + 3.7 GPA is good enough to give you a shot.</p>
