<p>Hello everyone, I'm a Mexican student from California applying to USC Marshall for business. I've been passionate about business all of my life, as my family is full of successful entrepreneurs and it's sort have grown on to me. </p>

<p>(((I'll try my best to be modest, lol, but I'm very athletic. I went to a junior high that has a military-like P.E. program which tests students in different physical tests (Sorry I cant explain the whole program to you). Anyway, I achieved "purple-trunk" status. Only 3 people in the 30-years existence of the program have achieved purple-trunk status, including myself. I played competitive soccer for most of my life. I stopped before high school to run track and cross country, but the team that I played on won nationals the following year (sucks for me lol). I was MVP in Cross Country and MVP in soccer when i started playing again Senior Year. I had to take a break from sports Junior year to focus on school (explaining my D+ in math). Therefore, I was unable to reach my full potential in any of my sports. I'm definitely interested in playing sports at USC, especially if it will increase my chances of getting in. Will it? )))</p>
<p>p.s. sorry if i sounded cocky =]</p>

<p>If it makes a difference...</p>
<p>I don't need financial aid. lol. okay moving on...</p>
<p>Notes: GPA is low because I was in the IB program for 3 years of highschool (moved to school with AP program senior year) and the classes we're extremely hard. Also I got a D+ in precal one semester but I will explain the circumstances. Hopefully this won't hurt me too much?</p>
<p>I understand USC is very selective, especially for business. I don't think I have very good chances, but I'd like to get some input from current students or anyone familiar with USC.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance, and don't be afraid to be honest =]</p>
