<p>i would be surprised if you didn’t get in.</p>

<p>I think you have an excellent chance of admission for Bio Med Engineering. However, I suggest you think about how you are going to demonstrate interest or passion for this particular area of study. Perhaps you can show this in your essay? Why do you want Bio Med Engineering?
Apply for your highest interest as first choice-not where you think you will get in, but where you want to study.
Last piece of advice, check with your high school scatter gram for USC and see where you think you fit on the chart via GPA and SAT scores. This should also give you a better idea of acceptance within your high school.</p>

<p>You have a great chance for getting in. However, your stats are probably identical to 30% ish of the entering BME students your year. You will need to find ways to differentiate yourself from the pack once you get here.</p>

<p>isnt like 90% of USC class in top 10% and the rest within 25%?</p>
