<p>Yeah you need to raise that ACT score by at least 5 points. I would suggest getting a professional tutor, if the money is not a huge issue. If not, you need to prep with at least some books such as the ACT 36 as well as the REAL ACT prep. Your class rank is fine for USC, but your ECs don’t show much commitment. You need to list fewer ECs on your common app (I would suggest listing only the ones that you have shown a strong dedication to and the ones that you have leadership in). </p>
