<p>You have a really impressive resume and stats! </p>

<p>USC- match! I think they are looking for candidates exactly like you. If possible, go on tours and express interest in the school. I heard they track demonstrated interest.</p>

<p>Duke- reach. But, not impossible. Apply ED if possible, it will improve your chances. </p>

<p>Other schools to consider: Vanderbilt, Emory, Cornell, NYU, Berkeley, UCLA, UNC, UVA, UMichigan, UPenn</p>

<p>IF USC is SoCal then, I disagree. With your current ACT, USC is a reach. Also junior second semester is not over yet. Come back when you have all your Junior grades. Also try to take the SAT and some SAT subject tests.</p>
