<p>Your gpa is good. Your standardized test scores should probably be 2200+…
you seem like a competitive candidate, but USC is becoming very competitve, and you can never know…I had a friend who had a 2350 and did not get in. They want to see extracurriculars. Depth.</p>

<p>What major are you looking to apply to? This can also influence admission.</p>

<p>Do you have any leadership positions in these ECs? If not, there’s not a lot about your ECs that stand out (as you’ve listed them here.) Usually, a history of strong, consistent participation in two or three really demanding ECs (a sport, school band/plays, yearbook, etc) can make admissions overlook a lower SAT score or GPA…but everyone who applies to USC is in CSF or NHS or Key Club and most high schools require community service. What have you done with your time in high school outside classes and the rote/commonplace ECs?</p>
