<p>I'm applying to Annenberg; I realize my ECs and GPA are very weak... I'm sure it's heard a lot, but being 1-2 years younger than all my peers, I didn't mature and pay attention to school until Junior year... do I have any shot at SC? I've gotten into UCR, UCI, UCSB and denied from UCSD.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>hmmm I'm not too sure about your SAT scores.. your AP scores aren't high either and e/c's are very few..
if you got denied from UCSD, you're likely to be rejected from USC also..
I was admitted as a full-ride candidate and had to visit the school with a whole bunch of people.. and they all seemed to have extremely high stats.. but of course everyone there was a full-ride candidate, so they don't represent all of USC's applicants.. Still, I would have to say that your low scores make it very hard to be sure about acceptance..</p>

<p>UC admissions are sometimes random... so don't count out USC.</p>

<p>Yea my friend got denied at UCI, but accepted at UCLA. UC admissions can be really random.</p>

<p>"Yea my friend got denied at UCI, but accepted at UCLA"</p>

<p>Wow. Weirdest thing I've ever heard. Sounds scary..?</p>

<p>I got in annenberg on Tuesday with relatively low stats but extra currics helped my case</p>

<p>At SC, your scores will be superscored, so your 2030 puts you at probably the 45th percentile... which doesn't put you at a disadvantage. I'd say your acceptance will probably come down to your essays and how you presented yourself. Hold out just a few more days for your decision... good luck!</p>
