<p>Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but you have nice stats all around. Do you have any AP or SAT II scores yet? Those plus your nice GPA would be good...</p>

<p>I would make sure that you have a nice app & essay put together (you seem to be good at writing) and try to make sure that they know that you're really interested in going to USC - interview if possible, I guess.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, make sure to apply by the scholarship deadline. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance.. good luck!</p>

<p>I would agree. A very strong chance. You're stats and ECs are stronger than mine were, and I was accepted for Broadcast last year.</p>

<p>okay yay that makes my day guys! but yeah, i really need to write a good essay. i know thats going to be very important... especially for a journalism major.</p>

<p>i will be setting up and interview & will be applying by the scholarship deadline. i haven't taken sat IIs yet (i'm terrified to take them!!!), but i got a 4 on my ap calc test which is fine i guess</p>
