<p>My gpa is 3.44 and my sat score without my writing is 1040
I have not done much in my school except for national art honors society, but my senior yera (this year) I will be in a group that I started.
Do I have any chance of getting into University of South Carolina Columbia????
Please help!</p>
<p>Starting a club or group will look great on your application because it shows leadership.</p>
<p>Is your gpa a 3.44 weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>Your SAT is decent, but if you take it again in October, it could improve.</p>
<p>Have you taken challenging courses (ie honors, ap, ib, etc)? That will always look good to an admissions officer.</p>
<p>Also, are you in state or out of state? In state you will have a bigger shot of getting in.</p>
<p>Work on your SAT’s and you should be fine.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for helping,
My gpa isn’t weighted, I am taking the sats in october too
and I have taken 2 aps and am taking 2 more this year
also, I am out of state :/</p>
<p>wouldnt it make it easier to get in being out of state since they have fewer out of state?</p>
<p>No. SC is a public university meant to serve the citizens of South Carolina. That means that the standards are higher for OOS applicants.</p>
<p>I think you should apply regardless, but you’re probably in the 10-15th percentile in terms of SAT and the 20-25th percentile on GPA. SAT scores for out-of-state students are usually at least 10 points higher than the average for incoming freshman. Your best shot of improving your chances is increasing your SAT score.</p>
<p>they want out of state money though so it makes it easier</p>

<p>For some schools, yes. Not for SC. It isn’t terribly harder to get in OOS vs. in-state, but it is harder.</p>
