<p>I posted this in another thread, but I think here will be better. All these things about three admissions officers checking your app, and if one thinks you're boaderline you get a mid-year request. Anyway, I got a mid-year request, and i was hoping someone would give me an idea of my chances with my mid-year's factored in. </p>

<p>Stats
My school dosn't follow the 4.0 scale, but the 100 scale. And it really dosn't weight that much, 1.03 for honors and 1.06 for AP.
Avg-94.7 (Fresh-96.5, Soph-92.5, Junior- 93.5)
SAT: 710 CR 660 WR 740 M
SATII: 660 US 650 World 720 MathI
ACT: 30
AP US: 4
Good to Very Good Recs and ECs
The one thing that reallllly hurts me is i'm not in the top10%, I'm like in the 30's out of 220. But I looked under collegeboard.com and it said USC dosn't use class rank that strongly, but idk.</p>

<p>Mid Year (my school goes by quarters, so the numbers go 1st qtr, 2nd qtr, midterm test grade)
AP English 95, 92, 90
Govt<em>- 94, 94, 95
AP Bio- 90, 90, 91
Pre-Calc- 94, 94, 90
AP Chem- 90, 88, 83
Church History</em>-90, 90, 93
Gym*- 100, 95
1st Qtr Avg 96 2nd Qtr Avg 95
* is required by the school.
FYI the school limits the number of AP courses in senior year to three.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?!?</p>

<p>Most people on these boards talk about unweighted GPA based on a 4.0 scale. I know some schools do it like yours (Texas and others). In CA, many are not familiar with your scale so I don't know if you will get much response on these message boards. </p>

<p>Luckily, USC knows how to interpret your scores. Your SAT is decent and being out of state could help you.</p>

<p>I don't know why you're stressing,</p>

<p>look, you got all A's except one B. You're way beyond fine. </p>

<p>You're applying to USC, not Harvard. </p>

<p>If you didn't like your rank, you could have chosen not to give USC your rank.</p>

<p>^ and a couple of my friends still got into Harvard with a couple of Bs. go figure :D</p>

<p>They would have seen my rank anyway, my school reports it on the transcript.</p>
