<p>Because USC does not offer ED. My second choice is rice. My counselor told me to do this in order to up my chances in case I do not get into USC.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure how to address my GPA upping. If I already sent in my app…should I send it directly to admissions? So far I have all A’s including 3 ap classes.
GLuck to you too.</p>
<p>You should be fine, the GPA is a bit low for USC( I assume it is Southern Cal, not South Carolina) but the 2000+ SAT’s makes up for that and Awesome EC’s. You’ll get in. </p>
<p>My S had a 3.4 UW/ 3.7 W GPA, (bad grades were mainly Freshman year), 2240 SAT’s, nothing special on the EC’s, and was rejected by USC RD. Good luck.</p>
<p>I’ve seen much worse applicants get into USC RD (i go to kinda a USC feeder school tho, USC’s admissions director’s boss is a grad, and a trustee of my school). I would say it is a low reach/high match. Good luck!</p>
