<p>please chance me :)</p>

<p>You have a good chance. Your ECs/Volunteer/Performance Experiences are solid. Your SAT score might be a little weak and that drags you down. Also I don’t know you GPA/Rank. As long as you have good recs and essays that stand out though I bet you’ll get in. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>Oops, GPA is approx 3.76 or 3.75 right now, thanks for the reply!</p>

5

<p>Depends on whether USC superscores or not.</p>

<p>USC (non-superscore): Low reach
USC (superscore): Match</p>

6

<p>ah ok thanks, and yeah, USC does superscore :)</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. Your GPA is right around the average and while your SAT is on the lower end, you have the benefit of an unusual ethnic background. I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “theater major” since there are numerous distinctions within the school. As you know there may be an audition/portfolio requirement.</p>

8

<p>I had to submit my acting resume and headshot, and I applied for BA Theatre Major (Acting) not BFA so there’s no audition. Just an interview which I already had :)</p>

<p>USC: Match because of your experiences in the performing arts and the major that you are choosing.</p>
