<p>I applied for the honors college and submitted my application around November 12th. I have a 32 on the ACT and a 3.80 unweighted GPA and a 4.4 something weighted GPA. I am not sure how they calculate GPAs but since the start of my junior year I have taken 80% of my classes through dual enrollment with a few classes at home (I am homeschooled). I have mostly A's in all my courses with a few B's. By the time I graduate this May, I will have approximately 76 college credits. I am planning on majoring in Biochemistry. I know my scores are right on the edge of honors college midrange so I worked very hard on the essays. Do you think I have a shot at the honors college? When do you think I would receive a general acceptance letter? I know that about half have been sent out already but would I receive mine later because I submitted the application so close to the deadline? Do they wait until the week of Dec. 15th to send out the rest or will I receive it before then? (Assuming I get in… :/ ) Do you think I have a shot at scholarships and in state tuition? Will the amount of college credits I have help or hinder me? Sorry about all the questions… USC is my top choice and I am sooo nervous about getting in! Thank you!! </p>
<p>You should definitely get in USC. Look at money matters in admissions to see list of scholarships and what you (in general) need to get reduced/waived tuition. Your essays may make a difference in honors acceptance. Don’t panic if you don’t hear until week of Dec. 15 for admittance. I suspect - but don’t know for sure- that the ones that have rolled out are pretty straight forward based on scores/stats. As a homeschooler, your more unique transcript may be read more closely (just a guess - really don’t worry until December).</p>
