Anyone you know that got in, already in, that had low SAT score? (less than 1800)

<p>Just wondering really, cause from what I've seen, everyone that has been accepted so far has an SAT score in the 2000s, with a few exceptions of those with high 1900s. My cousin was accepted into USC last year and she had a 1960 on her SATs...so yeah. </p>

<p>I got an 1810 on my SATs (550 CR, 640 M, 620 W) and I'm really doubtful that I'll get in with that SAT score, despite a 4.38 uw GPA (3.8-3.9 uw...not sure...I've only had 3 Bs in my entire HS transcript and it was my first semester of senior in 3 AP classes), lots of EC and all that other mumble jumble.</p>

<p>Anyone know anyone that attends USC or has already been accepted to USC this year with around my score or less?</p>

<p>the only ones that i've heard of that were accepted with scores in that range were international students</p>

Wrong

<p>True, they are not sub-1800, but both are substantially lower than the median of other accepted students. I would not worry too much about the SATs, because USC seems to be one of the few schools that underweights them.</p>

<p>i have an 1810 too!</p>

<p>but you must have an amazing SAT score to back it up</p>

<p>well I have a 3.93 weighted gpa and a 4.38 unweighted.</p>

<p>see what i mean? i havent heard back from USC but i fear the news i have a 1820 but my gpa is only 3.5uw 3.7w</p>

<p>1760 here. :P</p>

<p>I have an 1850, but no acceptance yet. =/</p>

<p>there are a ton of people with high SAT's (>2100) and high GPA's that haven't heard yet....I think it's a little early to look at stats as a determinant of admittance......Now, if it was March 20th, that's a different story......</p>

<p>what do you consider a high GPA, rodney? Just out of curiousity :)</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>People are not posting their admitted stats with the school admitted to....it would surely help.....</p>

<p>1900...3.8 Uw</p>

<p>you got in with that stats lynn? if so, then that gives me some hope; my stats arent that far off</p>

<p>my s has 2150 SAT , #1 in his class of 76, 4.0 GPA unweighted, great satIIs, but still has the status "we recieved your fall grades"..... He did apply to film school-production. Maybe that's why he hasn't been accepted. At least we don't have very many more days to wait.</p>

<p>i have an 1820/ ACT 27.... im hoping this wont ruin my chances at USC</p>

<p>i go to a top 30 public school, im top in my class.... our valedictorian has a 4.1... i have a 3.5 unweighted, president of 2 clubs, sports every season all through high school, volunteer 5 days a week, on volunteer ambulance core ect.... so basically i hope that USC can see past my bad test taking skills</p>

<p>im also part native american/hispanic/part white and my sister goes to USC. im applying engineering</p>

<p>what do you guys think my chances are?</p>

<p>lilchica:
I personally believe you have a good chance. What drew me to USC was that it seemed to care more about the "complete package" than just test scores. I think your scores are fine.
I got a 29 on the ACT and a 1910 on the SAT. I'm going to retake the SAT just to see if I can bump it up. I'm also hispanic :)</p>

<p>gabs, if u retake ur sat does it count even if u sent them in already?</p>

<p>3.23 uw, 3.43 w .. 32 ACT .. accepted to annenberg.
ECs helped a lot.</p>

<p>they don't go strictly by numbers</p>

<p>hey, at least your GPA can adequately trump your SAT scores.</p>

<p>i have above a 2000 SAT (don't want to specify) but a GPA that hovers around 3.0 - 3.5 range. granted, i have a reason, but my GPA might be driving factor in my rejection.</p>

<p>EDIT: haha, the user above me gave me some hope. congrats :)</p>
