<p>UW GPA: 3.67
SAT: 1940
EC: Nice range of sports & arts. No community service.</p>

<p>The upper link shows that your a bit below the average GPA but your SATs are 80 points below the 25th%-tile for last year’s class. With the switch to the CommonAp there will likely be an increase in apps bringing the already competitive admit rate of 23% down even lower. Even with your strong GPA, to me, USC is a bit of a reach. Not impossible but nothing to get comfortable about either.</p>

<p>I have 48 hrs of community service and I will have 60 before I graduate.</p>

<p>I think USC is a long shot for you, unless you are an under-represented minority like native american, latino, african american. You also don’t have much experience in business, which won’t really hurt you but it doesn’t help when you’re applying to marshall.</p>
