<p>If you want to stand out to the admissions at USC, make sure you take the Supplement form seriously!!! I got in last week with my 23 ACT, 3.5 GPA and 3 AP’s</p>

<p>I’d say you have a pretty good chance as long as that SAT is above a 2100.</p>

<p>With a great supplement, I think you have a good shot. Submit your application early and perhaps do your essay about being quadlingual or about your ECs. My advice would be to get some awards to help you stand out.</p>

<p>What are supplements?</p>

<p>thank you :slight_smile: I was wondering do you think many people apply with that major? Will that hurt my chances?</p>

<p>With a 3.6/2100/31, you’re just a little below the ‘average’ admit. The big issue is the ever-dropping admissions rate. The most recent class had a 20% acceptance rate and rumors are out there that apps are up again. When a school rejects more that 8 out of 10 applicants it’s hard to treat it as anything but a reach.</p>

<p>“1000 community service hours”
“3.6 GPA”

<p>Personally, before a test I write down my goal score at the top of the first page. I feel like writing it down makes it seem more concrete and achievable. USC is hard to be anything but a reach for anyone, but i’d say you have a pretty good shot.
