USC is my dream school and the thought of possibly getting rejected/accepted next year is eating me alive. Please help.
From Louisiana, White, Female.
Top 10% of my class (I am the 10th percent lol)
GPA: 3.85 (but I think at the end of this year it may be about a 3.8… junior year man)
ACT: 32 (English:36, Math:33, Reading:31, Science:29)
English + Writing :
SAT: I haven’t taken the sat yet but I’m taking it in June. I’m a very good standardized test taker and have been doing very well on practice tests lately. Maybe leave a good recommended score based on everything else?
ECs:
Played soccer for 10 years for my club.
Varsity Soccer Team for all 4 years (voted 1st team All District and 2nd Team All Northeast Louisiana)
Band (Made Honor Band and auditioning for All-State)
Secretary of National Honor Society
Latin Club
Quiz Bowl
Full-time Summer Babysitter
Countless Volunteer Hours (Red Cross, No-Kill Shelters, etc.)
Other:
I plan on KILLING my essays. My sophomore year I suffered a major loss and was in the hospital for 2 months with an injury that has a 30% mortality rate (freak internal injury from soccer… yes, I kept playing). I plan on just telling my story and really letting who I am as a person shine through overcoming what most people never have to go through their whole lives.
I have a few teachers in mind for great recommendation letters too.
I go to a very competitive public high school and take all demanding classes: AP (APUSH, Chem, Lit, Calc), Dual Enrollment, Gifted, and Honors.
