<p>So I have an ACT composite score of 26, an SAT critical reading and math score of 1100 and I am taking the ACT again this weekend to try for a 27. My weighted GPA is also a 4.15 and I am ranked 36 out of 330. My extra curriculars include Marching Band where I've held leadership positions for three years and I also participated in Indoor Drumline but that's pretty much all I have for extra curriculars. I'm a South Carolina resident and I'm also applying for early admissions. What do you think my chances of being accepted are?</p>
<p>Your ACT is slightly stronger than SAT and is solidly in the mid-50% range of last years freshmen and your GPA is slightly higher. As an in-state student you look to have a pretty good chance although it always depends on the makeup of this year’s applicants. Good luck on ACT - a higher score is always better.</p>
<p>In-state, you’ll be fine. It’s very likely you will get in, imo.</p>
<p>Not too long ago, USC was accepting all in-state students who had at least 3.0 GPA and a 1000 SAT score.</p>
<p>This helped a lot! Thank you both (:</p>
<p>If you are interested in playing the marching band, put that on your application. There is a audition for drum line in the spring. Also OOS students – playing in the marching band qualifies you for a waiver of the OOS tuition upcharge & you still get the band stipend! See the Carolina Band webpage for more info.</p>
