<p>USC is private, so out of state or in state doesn’t matter. Your chances are low because of gpa and SAT score. You do have a standout EC though. My guess is that you have a 15% chance of getting in.</p>

<p>SAT II’s are not required, so I probably wouldn’t submit them if I were you.</p>

<p>You can always apply. There are surprises during the admissions process. As it stands now USC is a high reach for you. Be sure to have a safety as well as a financial safety in your college choices.</p>
