can i get in?

<p>what are my chances of getting into the university of south carolina?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.3
SAT: 1540
Reading: 490, Math:550, Writing:500</p>

<p>i have taken 3 honors courses in high school and one AP</p>

<p>i do volunteer work such as singing at a retirement home, feeding the hungary, doing karate with kids with special needs, help fundraise for cancer benefits.</p>

<p>i also have 2 part time jobs.</p>

<p>i also participated in soccer and indoor track freshmen year, indoor track sophomore year, and cross country senior year.</p>

<p>i am part of drama club, as well as club chorus groups.</p>

<p>i am also a south carolina resident, but attend school in massachusetts</p>

<p>do you think i can get in?</p>

<p>if so, which is better for me, early action or regular decision?</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>I think your SAT needs to go up 50 points at the minimum to have a chance. That 490 CR is killing you.</p>

<p>even if i am instate?</p>

<p>In-state, probably in. I didn’t see that. You should probably still try to get the SAT up a little.</p>

<p>I hate to break it to you, but statistically your SAT score puts you in the bottom 10% of the freshman class to years ago and your GPA puts you in the bottom 25%. Keep in mind that the test scores have been steadily rising, so your chances are not great. </p>

<p>You should definitely apply as your in-state status will help you immensely, but if I were you I would try my hardest to raise your SAT score if at all possible.</p>

<p>i am retaking the SAT’s this weekend and i am feeling really confident. i have studied a lot, but i am still applying early admissions, sending in my old scores, and then sending out my new scores right when they come out. do i have a better chance applying early?</p>
