<p>I live in California.......so if you could tell me my chances that would be great. Also if I don't really have a chance I'm not going to apply, bc I already have some other good schools in mind.</p>

<p>USC = Match!</p>

<p>You might consider retaking the SAT or trying the ACT. My score of 2070 was actually below average for this year's admitted class, but my ACT score of 33 probably bumped me up. USC is getting wicked competitive.</p>

<p>Wow, you can write a powerful essay on Relay 4 Life. A passionate essay about that will really make you stand out even if your SAT is below average.</p>

<p>Bottom line, you should definitely apply. You have a strong senior schedule (looks a lot like mine, actually). I have no idea how your California residency will affect you since USC is private...if you're concerned about that, call Admissions for an official answer.</p>

<p>Any more opinions? What do you think my chances are percentage wise?</p>
