Chance Me for USC?

<p>I'm most likely going to audition for USC Thornton for Jazz Voice. I'm an Asian Male, I go to one of the best high schools in the country and best in my state. Other schools I'm thinking of are UCLA, U of North Texas, U of Miami, and some conservatories, but USC and UCLA are my top choices</p>

<p>My GPA 3.61 (UW) 4.71(W) and an Academic GPA of 3.53 (UW) and 4.74(W). The thing is I got a C in AP US History both semesters Sophomore year, a C in Japanese, and D in Chemistry 2nd semester. I They were all borderline grades, but I messed up on finals cause my grandmother passed away right before finals, and her funeral was the day before finals. I managed to get all A's junior year though, so there is a dip in my grades. My school only offers Honors and AP classes except PE. </p>

<p>My test scores are good, I got a 35 on the ACT and 2300 on the SAT.
4 on AP US Exam, 5 on AP Music Theory, 5 on AP Human Geo, 5 on AP Lang</p>

<p>My Extracurriculars are

<p>So chance me? Any suggestions to boost my chances? Please Help! Thanks!</p>

<p>I think it may be a high match. Your extracurriculars are pretty good, decent GPA, very good test scores. I’m curious though. Could you show me how a 3.61 GPA can be 4.71 weighted? Maybe my math is just bad, but it’s been bothering me for a while :(</p>
