Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay so I submitted some things today and I am freaking out. Please be honest :) I am looking to attend USC next year and I was wondering what your guys' opinions are with my chances of getting in. This is my dream school!! Let me know! Here are my stats:</p>

<p>I'm from the east coast:</p>

<p>ACT: (super score 29)
first score:
Math: 29
English: 29
Reading: 25
Science 26
Writing: 10
Composite: 28</p>

<p>Second Score:
Math: 27
English 29
Reading: 24
Science: 30
Writing: 11
Composite: 28</p>

<p>I have a weighted GPA of 4.2 and UW of 3.84. We offer about 4-5 AP courses at my school and I have taken all of them. I have volunteered around my community and I have also had an internship with a national political campaign. I have been in Boy Scouts all my life and I am a varsity swimmer for four years and a varsity tennis player for two years. I am also really involved in vocal performance, I have been recognized as one of the best in the state by the state board of music educators. I am a founder of a international club and we have raised thousands of dollars to send to countries which are suffereing from natural disasters. I also have a part-time job that I have had for three years and I have taught classes to kids within my job. A member of spanish honor society, and also national honor society. I have also held a summer job along with my other job. I have taken three independent studies (by the conclusion of my senior year). I have also been a member of our varsity academic challenge team and also a member of mock trial. I have also participated in the summer courses at USC, passed with an A, and recieved USC credit from it. That's a debrief of my activities. My essays are very well written and students have confirmed that my essays are what USC is looking for. I have good academic rigor and I have taken post secondary upon my exhaustion of high school courses. My letters of recommendation are spectacular and I have one additional one coming from a faculty member of USC.</p>

<p>I'm uber nervous because of my ACT scores and that I am not what they are looking for. I have heard that some get accepted in Jan. and I am praying that I get one of those because I will my hair pulled out from stress by April. Let me know, and don't hold back!!!</p>

<p>Your chances depend a lot on your relationship with the faculty member, what you have done with him, and how much he recommends you. </p>

<p>Other than that, you appear to be a match.</p>

3

<p>High match on your own merits.</p>

4

<p>Even with my low test scores, you think my chances are pretty good?</p>

5

<p>A high match is actually not quite a reach but more likely to be rejected than in.</p>

<p>Ahhh, I see. Haha sorry for the misunderstanding. That’s embarrassing…</p>
