<p>USC: Match/high match</p>

<p>USC: Low Match
I honestly would be very surprised if you were not accepted. The only weakness I see might be course rigor in comparison to other students, but I think you’ll be alright. Good luck!</p>

<p>Really? I was under the impression it was a reach for most applicants, especially since they receive roughly 40,000 applications annually.</p>

<p>USC has an admit rate of 20%, however with your GPA being above the averages and your SAT at the 75th%-tile, I suspect you’ll get in.</p>

<p>^^^That pdf is why I think you have a good chance at that school.</p>

<p>I thought Viterbi was more selective than USC’s average…</p>

8

<p>Low match!!</p>

<p>USC would be a match. But on the lower side of a match. Like in between a match and a low match. Go for something higher too! Great job! </p>

<p>Goodluckk!</p>

<p>I’m also waiting to hear back from Northwestern, Vanderbilt, and Lehigh, if you were wondering. I think Northwestern and Vanderbilt will both be very difficult, but Lehigh will be about the same as USC.</p>
