<p>What major are you applying for?</p>

<p>You look to be in good shape, the only possible place of worry is your SAT and your CR score. Have you considered taking the ACT? But if you could raise your CR above a 650, I’d say you’d be good to go!</p>

<p>Just another piece of advice, coming from the valley, I’m guessing many people from your school apply to USC every year. You should see if your school uses Naviance or if your guidance counselor has access to the information regarding past applicants from your school to USC, their stats, and whether they were admitted or not. But regardless, I think you have a great chance :slight_smile: Good luck and fight on!</p>

<p>Nice GPA, but can you describe the rigor of your coursework (like how many APs taken out of how many offered)? A 4 in the AP chem exam is not bad, but it is not that good either. SAT could be a little higher, but i would say it is in the mid range. </p>

<p>ECs look solid</p>
