<p>I suggest that you take a professional SAT prep course or really study the SAT prep books before retaking the SAT. I think the average SAT was 2100 last year. You might also want to consider taking the ACT if USC accepts the ACT in lieu of the SAT. If USC accepts the ACT, take the ACT, re-take the SAT and send in the ACT score if you think it is significantly better over the SAT score.
Also, when you send SAT II scores, every score is sent unless you cancel a test score in the time allowed by the College Board.</p>

<p>You have "College Class Year: 2012"</p>

<p>Are you a transfer, or are you just planning to graduate in three years?</p>

<p>im applying as a freshman</p>

<p>international students don't get financial aid, just to clarify that. </p>

<p>i would definitely look into bumping up those SAT scores.
i think you have a good chance.
just get killer recs and essays. </p>

<p>good luck!!
the international community at SC is really awesome.
i feel so welcomed all the time.</p>

<p>well first of all of your SAT II scores are going to be sent yes,,even spanish.
and your SAT score is pretty low compared to the average and standard of USC/UCLA etc.</p>

<p>I don;t know how competitive the business school is but i would say REACH</p>
