Did I hurt my chances?

<p>I know it's pretty late to be worried about something like this since decisions come out in like a week but I'm concerned that I made a mistake by sending my subject test scores to USC. I took Physics, Math and U.S. History. I did fairly well on the Math one but not great on the others. I took them Fall 2013 because I was told that USC wanted them for scholarship consideration. I thought they would only be used for scholarship purposes. In January I was told I wasn't being considered for a scholarship, but now I'm worried that those subject tests were used in my regular decision. I think I read somewhere that the subject tests are optional and that they shouldn't hurt my chances but I wanted to be sure. </p>

<p>Also on a slightly unrelated note:
Does USC consider everyone for the College of Letters if they can't offer you admission to your first or second choice majors?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>My son didn’t send his because they were borderline, and now we’re wondering if that was a mistake. Bottom line, none of us will ever know… if you get in, it won’t matter. and if you don’t get in, it won’t either!</p>

<p>I can’t argue with that logic. It’s just really hard not to think about the mistakes I might have made. This week is going to be very slow.</p>

<p>I don’t think they take SAT 2s that seriously. If they’re good, they’ll help you; if they’re low, they shouldn’t hurt you.</p>

<p>Lets see… damn I took the SAT 2’s forever ago… but if I remember correctly, I took US History and gota 710, Math 2 and got like a 650, and Literature and got like a 580 hahaha</p>

<p>And I’m currently a junior at USC.</p>
