<p>Ethnicity doesn’t matter, and you’re all right for Dornsife (CLAS). The specialty colleges really look a lot more at your talent and skills, so I can’t say there.</p>
<p>^^Ethnicity doesn’t matter in your case. You’ll be fine for Dornsife, maybe Viterbi. </p>
<p>Quite frankly, though, I don’t see why anyone with your stats and extracurrics would feel the need to ask for a chance for USC, and what exactly said people expect any of us to say besides the fact that they’re most likely in - “Your interests are too narrow, consider applying to a vocational school such as ITT Tech?” </p>
<p>Of course, this is all assuming you don’t pull a reverse-reverse on us and tell us you want to major in cinema. In which case… get a portfolio ready, son! :)</p>
<p>I’d say mid reach. Great test scores,great GPA and decent EC’s. I always wanted to live in Washington, hmm.</p>
<p>USC is a PRIVATE school, so residency isn’t taken into account. </p>
<p>What school/major are you looking at? It will help people be able to predict your chances.</p>
<p>I don’t really understand why you posted this thread? You obviously have the stats to get in with a great scholarship. Look at harvard</p>
<p>why usc? no real advantage in improving ur sat.</p>
