<p>Part of the reason my rank is so low is because at the private school I went to, you could only take a max of 3 honors course your freshman year (no APs either)…the public school I go to now allows freshman to take unlimited APs/Honors classes, so I fell behind in that respect.</p>

<p>I'm applying to Annenberg for Public Relations and USC is my top choice... I know my GPA is kind of low (I got C's in math my freshman/sophomore year but have since pulled my math grades up to low A/high B's) but I was wondering if I still stand a decent chance? I'm good at writing so hopefully my essay will be great, my recs will be good, and I'm also doing an interview. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Your GPA is borderline, SAT and EC’s are good and you have really nice awards. I’d say a low reach but you still have a very reasonable shot. I don’t think I’d bet against you overall.</p>

<p>basically the same as above^
i think you will get in in the end and since you only had C’s in fresh and soph years it is better for you good luck</p>
