<p>So I have been pretty much perfecting my app for SC since like July because I NEED to go there seriously...my dream...</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do in my app to make it clear to them that SC is my number one choice and would that help?? </p>
<p>Also, my unweighted GPA is 3.94, and my ECs are excellent and i'm pretty sure my recs will kick ass.. the thing is my SAT is low, if i get a 1900 on the SAT will i still have a chance at marshall??</p>
<p>another question... if marshall rejects me, do i still have a chance at the general arts and sciences college?? and if i get rejected from that, how often do people get admitted for the spring semester?? </p>
<p>Haha sorry I have so many questions I am just going crazy with this college process... i need to get in though!</p>
<p>1900 isn't the end of the world, although it's not ideal. If Marshall rejects you, you'll either be placed in your second-choice major or "undeclared." I have no idea how many spring admits we have, sorry! I completely understand what you're going through; USC was (and still is) my dream school!</p>
<p>Though I whole-heartedly believe that the SAT is inherently flawed, I still got into the cinema school with a 1960 SAT. It depends more on your GPA, recs, and personal essays (mine kicked ass, so that's why.) In the end, I think if you've put that much time into it, you at least should definitely have a great chance at getting into CLAS, if not Marshall outright. But then again, that's just my opinion.</p>

</p>
<p>interview...
make sure to send a thank you note afterwards, as well.</p>
<p>Edit: that's not on your app, per se, but it's still a good thing to do. :)</p>
<p>what exactly would i say on this said "thank you" letter?</p>
<p>just say you enjoyed the conversation (the interview), that you found it very informative, and that you feel that USC would be an excellent choice for college... throw in a couple specifics, like "i'm especially interested in this program"... and you've got yourself a thank you note.</p>
<p>they won't care that much about the note's content - they mostly just want to see that you've shown the initiative to send it at all</p>
