<p>The above link shows the averages for the 2011-2012 admissions year. With the shift to the Common App the academic numbers are likely to be at least the same if not tougher; throw in the reported drop to an 18% admittance rate and USC has become a reach school for even a 3.8/32 ACT. Viterbi is rumored to have an even higher statistical profile for GPA and ACTs. </p>

<p>Your CR scores are low; is there an explanation for this? Learning issues? English as second language? Without extenuating circumstances I would consider USC-Viterbi an extreme reach.</p>
