<p>** I forgot to put 4 ECs in my application also there was a situation my junior year that didn't allow me to take certain classes... Do you think that there's a way that I can call them an ask them to enter that information?</p>

<p>USC should be a match. Being a URM would help greatly.</p>

<p>Do you know what your GPA translates to on a 4.0 scale?
Your test scores are on the low side… Is your SAT score out of 2400? If so, then USC is a reach for you.
What are you looking to major in?</p>

<p>

You could either call or email your admissions counselor and ask them to update your file.</p>

<p>On a 4.0 scale it’s a 3.3 but there are things that prevented me from higher achievements that I have to tell the school… Forgot to put it in my application
And my SaTs are out of 2400. I’m applying to Marshall for Business Administration</p>

<p>Thank you Bubbles for sale. I appreciate it!</p>

<p>USC is far more likely to admit a person with a low GPA and SAT score than the UCs. </p>

<p>I think if you truly can present a compelling case- and I think all signs look good- USC should be a match.</p>

<p>With a 3.3 UW GPA and a 1600 out of 2400 SAT USC will be a reach. Your URM status will help but remember that USC is one of the most diverse campuses around, as a result being a URM may not be the boost it would be other places.</p>

<p>You have a chance but you need to be realistic.</p>

<p>Okay, I’ll still have hope! But I appreciate all of your responses… And ok LachicaBuena, I think I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see if I can get help.</p>
