<p>PLEASE BE HONEST
THANK YOU </p>

<p>Your athletics might be more of a draw if you have won any national tournaments, are at Open level and are being recruited by the athletics department . Otherwise, your SAT and GPA are too low.</p>

<p>Thanks for your response! </p>

<p>I don’t agree with “aunt bea” if you look at the accepted student threads then you would see that you definitely have a chance (maybe not viterbi). </p>

<p>Appreciate your response. I’m just gonna take a shot at it</p>

<p>See what @Weeknd‌ doesn’t understand about Viterbi is that the engineering school has a relatively huge role in the admissions process. Each school has a certain number of students they have to admit, so you’re basically going against everyone else who’s applying to Viterbi (and it doesn’t matter what specific engineering major). Anyway, yes your GPA is low and your SAT scores are on the lower side (I believe 2100 is about the 50th percentile for all USC admitted students - which means Viterbi is higher) but your ECs are definitely good! If you can relate to them in your essays then I think you would be placed with the applicants with the high numbers! Note that the whole university has about a 19% acceptance rate so that doesn’t mean you will or will not get in</p>

<p>@redwall1521 All you did was flesh out why i said he/she might not get into Viterbi. I “understand” Viterbi’s role and I mean exactly what i said. You don’t understand </p>

<p>@Weeknd‌ And isn’t Viterbi where the OP is applying to? So if he “maybe” doesn’t have a chance at getting in to Viterbi then how does he have a definite chance of getting in?</p>

<p>@redwall1521 is computer science apart of Viterbi? I guess thats where the disconnect here is, I assumed it wasn’t. </p>

<p>@Weeknd‌ I believe only Viterbi has comp sci, unlike other schools such as UCB and UCLA. If you visit their website, it says it’s part of Viterbi.

<p>@redwall1521 alright you got me :wink: </p>

<p>CS Competition is brutal, not just for USC but at all the top schools. Write a great essay and hope for the best. GL.</p>
