<p>looking pretty good overall, although your SAT math score is a bit worrisome for viterbi. you’ll get into the university for sure though and you have a decent chance with viterbi.</p>
<p>Try to complete your application by Dec. 1. 2010. As a National Merit Scholar you will be eligible for the Presidential Scholarship. There are other competitive scholarships available for those who qualify. </p>
<p>You noted you are out of state. USC is a private university. Each student’s application is considered individually. There is no preference given to California residents.</p>
<p>For Viterbi, as already mentioned, it would be better if that math score could be improved.</p>
<p>You have an excellent chance. And it is not just because you are a URM, you have good stats and ECs too. But i agree with josebiwasabi and Georgia Girl, math is low for engineering–that might be the only caveat.</p>
<p>Haha I’ve taken the SAT twice already and got the exact same math score both times! I’ll take the ACT in December and will hopefully get a better score in math for that. Thanks, everyone!</p>
