<p>Your numbers and achievements look good, but so do a lot of people’s. The summer research internship and the ICU volunteering are likely to be key points, I would highlight them wherever you can. The one area you could be stronger in looks to be math, perhaps take the Math I SAT2?</p>

<p>Anyways, USC’s admission staff looks at the whole profile, including everything you’ve got there, as well as your short answers and your essay. Make sure you write about something you’re passionate about, and convey it through your words.</p>
