<p>I am trying to form a good college list and I am wondering how I should classify USC on my list in terms of reach/super-reach/high match/match...whatever. I love what I've heard about the school so far and I plan on applying but if my sights are set too high than I might save my reach app for Stanford.</p>

<p>Quick overview of my stats:
-Hispanic girl from Texas
-GPA 4.2W, ranked top 2% (I think 14th) in class of about 500 at public HS
-IB Diploma candidate, hardest courseload possible
-AP Scholar, Natl. Hispanic Merit Scholar, Natl. Merit Commended
-SAT: 2250 (M650 CR800 W800)
-varsity sport (JV 9, 10, lettered in 11, varsity for 2 yrs.), student body VP, VP of Natl. Spanish Honor Society, all the normal Mu Alpha Theta, NHS, Honor Roll type stuff, Speech & Debate team with awards at regional level, heavily involved in 3 other ECs, work 6 days a week afterschool
-400/500 hours of unique community service
-essays & recs should be great</p>

<p>If anybody could help me out that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Barring something bizarre, you should get in and be competitive for a merit scholarship.</p>

<p>Your certainly a very strong candidate, good chances at getting into SC. As sfgiants said, you might be competitive enough for a merit scholarship</p>

<p>Yup, with National Hispanic you should automatically get a half tuition scholarship, and could be up for more!</p>

<p>you should apply to both USC and stanford, I think.</p>
