**Decision: Accepted **

Date applied: November 20

Date decision postmarked/received: January 23, January 26

Accepted at which school/major at USC: Viterbi, Undeclared Engineering

Stats:[ul]
[] SAT Total: 2300 M:800, CR: 750, WR: 750,
[] ACT: 34
[] SAT Subject Tests: Physics - 700, Literature - 710, Math II - 800

[] Rank: my school doesn’t rank, but I’m basically 1/57
[]AP/IB classes: Calc AB - 5, English Lang./Comp - 5, US History - 4, this year: Calc BC, US Government, English Lit./Comp.
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] Essays: Common App one was different and my English teacher liked it. My Viterbi paragraphs were kinda generic but still good, I think.
[] Teacher Recs: I read one of three, and it was pretty good. The other two were from teachers who respect me so they were probably good too.
[] Counselor Rec: She loves me. The school is small so we all get to know her well. It was great, I’m sure
[] EC highlights: NHS, student government for 2 years, Head Sound/Media Teachnician for the school, Varsity Football Captain for 2 years, School Worship Band Leader for 4 years, Vacation Bible School worker/band member during summer for 2 years [/ul]
Location/Person:[ul]
[] State or Country: Arizona
[] School Type: Small private (~300 students)
[] Ethnicity: Hispanic (I consider myself white, but I’m really 1/2 so that’s what I put)
[] Gender: M[/ul]Other Factors, hook?: AP Scholar, NMSF (soon-to-be NMF), National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholar, I’m Hispanic…?

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: My acceptance package said nothing about a scholarship invite, which from my understanding means I’m only getting a Dean’s. Which bites, because I basically needed a Trustee to afford USC, so I was at least hoping for a Presidential invite so I could bump it up I guess maybe my “extra-curriculars” were too school-oriented…we’ll see what I get in Financial Aid…

[/ul]Subjective:[ul]

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: Been accepted into MIT, I had a good feeling about getting to USC. If I didn’t get into MIT, I had already fallen in love with USC as a backup. USC will have to offer a lot of Financial Aid if they want me to choose them over MIT. I think I will be awarded the Dean’s Scholarship to USC as well.

EC highlights: Woodwind Sergeant, Saxophone Captain, 4 years of band, Key Club Treasurer & Historian, NHS Vice President, Youth In Government VP & Historian & Charter Member, Choir, Humane Society Volunteer, Spanish National Honor Society.

Other Factors, hook?: National Merit Semifinalist, AP Scholar, Nominated for Pathfinder for Academic Excellence, Campus Visit last spring?

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: I’m so excited! I haven’t gotten anything as far as scholarship offers but hopefully I’ll get NMF and the Presidential Scholarship. I also will probably have a low to none EFC so I’m really hoping to get either additional scholarships or a huge financial aid package. I’m waiting to hear from Stanford and I’ve been accepted at UCF where I could basically go for free because of prepaid and florida grants. USC is my number one choice but it will all come down to affordability.

**Decision: Accepted **

Date applied: 12/1/12

Date decision postmarked/received: 1/26/12

Accepted at which school/major at USC: Viterbi/Chemical Engineering

Stats:[ul]
[] SAT Total: 2270 M: 800, CR: 760, WR: 710,
[] ACT: N/A
[] SAT Subject Tests: MathII: 800, US History: 800, Chemistry: 800
[] GPA-UW/W: About 3.9 UW
[] Rank: School Doesn’t Rank
[]AP/IB classes: Calc AB, Calc BC, Statistics, US History, Physics C Mechanics, Physics C E&M, Biology, Chemistry: all 5s
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] Essays: My common app was really good. My AP Lit teacher loved it. I think my supplement essay was pretty good
[] Teacher Recs: One of them should have been really good since it was a teacher I had 5 classes with, the other should have been pretty good but not spectacular.
[] Counselor Rec: He loves me, so it should have been really good
[] EC highlights: I have a lot of awards in quizbowl, the biggest is that I won the national history bowl. I also sort of run the quizbowl club by myself since the teacher who used to run it quit. I also have some awards in Robotics, Math League, Chemistry etc.[/ul]
Location/Person:[ul]
[] State or Country: Delaware
[] School Type: Charter/ Top 50 in the country
[] Ethnicity: Asian-Indian
[] Gender: Male[/ul]Other Factors, hook?: I think my application really portrayed my curiosity and multicultural"ness" which would give me a unique thing to give to USC. I also showed leadership by running a club and have an overall well roundedness through my extracurriculars. Plus awards like AP National Scholar, National Merit Semifinalist, and while I didn’t know it when I applied, presidential scholar nominee helped. Also first gen college.

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: I don’t remember seeing any scholarship things in my admit packet so I’m guessing I will only get the national merit award. Though I doubt I will be attending and the only reason I applied was because I made a promise to a friend who went to USC that I would at least apply. USC doesn’t exactly have a great ChemE program at least from what I have heard but I’ll probably visit it and give it a chance before I make a final decision.

**Decision: Accepted **

Date applied: 12/01/2012-last minute I know!

Date decision postmarked/received: Postmarked 1/23/2012, rec’d 1/25/2012

Accepted at which school/major at USC: Business Admin at Marshall!

Stats:[ul]
[] SAT Total: 2300 superscore. M: 700, CR: 800, WR: 800. NMSF.
[] ACT: did not take
[] SAT Subject Tests: Lit 740, Math II 750
[] GPA-UW/W: 3.72 UW, Washington does not weight
[] Rank: 69/494, 13.9%
[]AP/IB classes: full IB Diploma, no “easy” IB classes either. 4 HL classes. Also took AP Lit exam (5) in spring and AP Macroecon class over the summer (which is what tanked my GPA)
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]

[] Essays: AWFUL. Like so, so, so poorly written now that I look back on them. I wrote about overcoming an emotionally abusive non-romantic relationship with an adult for my common app, which might have been my saving grace, I suppose? The supplemental one was the only good essay. That I would give 9/10.
[] Teacher Recs: didn’t read but came from my business teacher who’s had me for 3 different classes. He’s great at writing letters. 
[] Counselor Rec: didn’t read
[] EC highlights: don’t want to list, but a BIG position in a widely recognized organization and many DECA awards + chapter position. Sprinkling of other activities but mainly focused on those activities for all of high school. 
Location/Person:[list]
[] State or Country: WA
[] School Type: Public
[] Ethnicity: Asian
[] Gender: Female[/ul]Other Factors, hook?: Honestly, I feel like the luckiest girl in the entire world. My GPA is awful and I’m not even in the top 10% at my school, weighted! 13.9%. My grades are all As except for one awful semester, that one AP macro class (C, ugh!), and consistent Bs in IB math. I think my strongly demonstrated interest, very active sister who goes to Marshall, interview with a Marshall admissions officer, and strong ECs are what gave me this wonderful opportunity. But really, IT’S OKAY IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PERFECT GPA!

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: Trustee scholarship. My USConnect status now has my admissions decision. I’m most likely going to attend USC! Fight on!

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?:
Was accepted but wasn’t offered any scholarships from what I can tell. I wasn’t expecting to get accepted to USC, much less get accepted early with the possibility of the Dean’s Scholarship(if I read other posts correctly). I think I was accepted because I was a great fit in my prospective major. USC is definitely one of my top choices out of the schools I applied to, just have to wait and see.

ilovemyego23 · January 26, 2013, 10:10pm

OKay honestly who is saying that the Stats of the admit people are all over the place? All of you guys are about the same to me. High SAT/ACT and high GPA. You’re all the leaders of some club and you guys are amazingly talented. Obviously you were the top 2%of the pool.

Congrats guys. I’ll be posting my acceptance in April. =)
