<p>I moved from SoCal to Hawaii between my Sophmore and Junior years. As a result, almost all of my extracurriculars are only 2 years long except for band.</p>
<p>My mom is an alumni of USD. </p>
<p>I was wondering what my chances are for this school. Are my stats good enough that I can consider it a safety or match? Do you think I could get a merit scholarship if I applied? Thanks for your input/advice! =D</p>
