<p>*i know that my EC's are a little weak, but thats b/c im so focused on basketball. my school is really good in bball. this year we had one player going to ASU, another Army, we were in state championship last year, and U of A comes to our open gyms to scout us. unfortunately, im not sure if colleges will know how good my HS team is and i dont think many people know how much a commitment basketball is (countless hours shooting, lifting, conditioning, playing, etc). any ideas on how to improve my EC's? Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>Also how much scholarship money do you think i could get? NMF gives me half tuition, but do i have a shot at Trustee's?</p>

<p>Did you mean to post this on the "Harvard Chances" thread?</p>

<p>no i would love to go to USC ;) </p>

<p>im am looking at some ivys too but i like a big school atmosphere</p>

<p>you have as good as a shot at trustee as anyone, but be sure to take another sat II!</p>

<p>^that was supposed to be a joke :)</p>

<p>You have the stats for a shot at trustee; just make sure you have killer essays that show your passions. You should also make it clear you are very interested in USC.</p>
