<p>Hey everyone! This is my first time posting... I'm a senior in a private school, with only a 3.1 unweighted gpa but have taken over 7 ap/honors courses and have a 1700 on my SAT. I'm trying to bring that up and my gpa with this semesters grades! I've had many extra curriculars and over 50 hours of community service... What are my chances of getting into Carolina?</p>
<p>Why would you be so discouraging to someone who obviously wants advice? Maybe what you should have said is I don’t have a chance of getting in THERE. Thanks.</p>
<p>Ignore YesDarling, she’s useless. </p>
<p>I think you stand a rather good chance of getting in USC. Check South Carolina’s weighted GPA scale and try to convert yours. Otherwise, all those GPAs will look intimidating to your 3.1. Your test scores seem to be in the ballpark, although they only consider M+CR. You would be a good candidate. Best of luck.</p>
<p>maybe you can write about how your grades are increasing every semester
I think South Carolina is a high match-low reach school for you</p>
