<p>Try and boost the test score if you can; 28 puts you on the low side. But from everything else I see, you certain should apply. As it stands, I'd say USC is a low reach.</p>

<p>thanks for the feedback...anyone else?</p>

4

<p>btw-do they superscore the act? if so, would a 28.5 round to a 29?</p>

5

<p>bumping this up</p>

<p>USC does not superscore the ACT. I think you are on the border with a possible shot. If your essays are really as good as you say, that could make the difference. Good luck. </p>

<p>You might find it interesting to take a look at the "Official Decisions..." thread to see the stats of those accepted.
