<p>USC would take into consideration the grading scale that my school had rite? im hoping they see my B+s as potential As.</p>

<p>Did you explain your grading scale under additional information? If not, you can try sending an e-mail to the admissions office so that they know. You wouldn’t want your 90-94’s to count as B+'s (although a 3.5 is in between a normal B+ and an A-).</p>

<p>Otherwise, I’d say you were in on most years but this year is looking really competitive. You said you’re retaking the SAT, try getting at least a 2200+ and I think you’ll stand a great shot.</p>

<p>Is indoor track more of an east coast thing? I’m from the midwest and I’ve never heard of a HS indoor program. I can’t wait for the outdoor season to start though. What events do you do, I run the 100/200.</p>

<p>yeah i think indoor track is an east coast thing, its pretty big here. i do 4x200s, 400, 4x400 and 500 and 800. is a 2080 SAT low?</p>
