<p>your scores are at the border, so make sure you make your essays really strong. Your ECs look great though!</p>

<p>I’d personally say you have a good chance at getting in but it will be a close call. I got an 800 in the math too actually and a 690 on the Writing section :slight_smile: The GPA is a close call too, right below the average but the AP tests look really good so they should help. </p>

<p>You have lots of good ECs so I think you have a good shot.</p>

<p>You should absolutely apply. Your chances are very good. Just remember to tailor your application to why specifically you want to go to USC and not some other generic school. Good luck!</p>

<p>I was going to make a chance tread but you literally have the exact same gpa as me, eagle scout, ap classes but not asain and the income is much different</p>
