<p>I don't know much about USC but I love your thread title.</p>

3

<p>Thanks haha</p>

4

<p>you have a good shot. usc is a "match/reach" for you. raise the sat score 100-200 points and your chances increase a lot.</p>

5

<p>Does anyone recommend me scheduling an interview? Does that help my chances?</p>

6

<p>i would consider SC a slight reach, but possibly attainable - especially if you bump the SAT1 over 2000 and the SAT2 math to something more respectable. good luck.</p>

7

<p>Any other suggestions? Would USC care about what grades I get this first semester?</p>

<p>Of course, getting the highest grades you can senior year 1st semester is always a plus, as is a good interview. Good luck!</p>
