<p>Yep, for sure.</p>

<p>I had three C's and an F freshman year and another two C's first semester sophomore year before improving dramatically afterwards. Everything else was very solid though, SAT, EC's, etc.</p>

<p>For what it's worth, my S had some Cs in his junior year on his transcript when applying to USC, as well as several Bs throughout his HS transcript; he was about the middle of his HS class of 230 in terms of ranking because of these grades. He was still admitted as an undeclared engineering student. He had very high test scores & good ECs.</p>

<p>ya....</p>

<p>well im pretty much opposite of that</p>

<p>i have really good grades..... but just average sat scores like mid 600s.... but i still have time to work on them</p>

<p>2130 on one sitting, 2190 highest individual scores (which is the way USC calculates 'em)</p>
