Chance me?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I really want to go to USC (southern cal). my dad went there for uni as well, and it has been my dream school since high school
i'm currently a junior in an international school. we are only offered IB (3 HL 3 SL). for HL classes, i chose english business/management and history, and for SL i chose chinese B math and chemistry.
since we're in IB school, we don't have use GPAs, but i've always been on the honor roll/high honor roll list (honor roll : 5/6/7, high honor roll : 6/7). we also run on a trimester based schedule</p>

<p>freshman:
math : 6,7,7
bio: 5, 5,5
humanities (modern world): 6,7,7
english: 4,6,7
mandarin B: 6,6,6
art:5,6,6
PE:6,6,6
music: 6,7,7</p>

<p>soph:
math: 6,7,7
physical sci: 5,6,6
asian studies (history): 6,7,6
english: 6,6,6
mandarin: 6,6,6
music: 7,7,6
IT: 7,6,6
art: 6,7,7
PE: 6,6,6</p>

<p>junior (IB DP based--3HL 3SL):
math: 7
chem-6
history - 5 (teacher hardly gives out 7s. hopefully i can change that next time :/)
business/management-7
english - 5 (ridiculously hard to get a 7)
mandarin -6</p>

<p>im very active in my school community: MUN (chair, student officer/advisor, best delegate award), student council (class president, treasurer, secretary--hoping to get president next year!), member of NHS, photographer of my school's online newspaper, play in varsity volleyball (captain, mvp) and varsity soccer. I am also the main MC whenever my school has an event (unless i am participating, i.e. volleyball)
probably my biggest highlight is that i was in the AMIS international honor band and i traveled to scotland! (only 80 or so students get invited to perform together of the whole international community in the world)</p>

<p>what are my chances of being accepted to USC? i feel like my SAT might be slightly lower than what is usually accepted, so should i retake it again? hopefully my freshman grade wont completely kill my chances =&lt;/p>

<p>bump anyway? :)</p>

<p>btw, i forgot to add my community/service projects :slight_smile:
I am part of a program called CP Sapling that helps disabled kids. we basically spend a day once every 2 months or so and “have fun” with them
I am one of the co-founders of one of the programs at our school called Local School Teacher, where a group of us plans lesson plans and teach them to local chinese lower school kids every saturday (excluding holidays, etc)
I am also one of the co-founders for another program called School of the Blind where we visit them once a month and help out with the kids (read to them, etc)
Member of Microlending (fundraise money–mainly through our annual walk-a-thon–to loan to small business that cannot afford to do so. after a certain period of time that owner will return the money to us and we will lend that money out again)
Helped create a program called iCare, which aims to help new students, students that need help in academic areas, etc. we started the peer tutoring at our school.
the flute ensemble that i am part of hosted a fundraiser to raise donations for the japan earthquake last year (we earned roughly 1000 dollars!)</p>

<p>I think your best shot is to call the admissions office and reiterate your activites to them to make sure they know EXACTLY what you have contributed to your community. Otherwwise, I think you have like a 27.9% chance of admission to USC.</p>
