<p>Low Reach/Mid Reach. Raise your SAT to 2200+ to make up for weak ECs and it will be a high match.

<p>i’d put it at a high match/low reach. your gpa is ok but its fine because you took a lot of hard classes. and i agree with candivide, you’ll want to try and raise that SAT score. you can’t do much about your ECs at this point, but you still can control your test scores!</p>

<p>low reach dude. class rigor helps, SAT is average (for SC standards), and Ec’s are average. how are your essays, because they could be a tipping factor, but from what i’ve heard and seen, USC is more of a stats school. A lot of people in my school who have no shot at SC are applying, so i hope this resembles USC’s applicant pool this year and makes it easier to get in, for both of our sakes.
good luck, i hope we both get accepted to SC. :)</p>
