Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I will be a high school senior in the fall and am planning to attend the University of Southern California. I plan to apply for admission to the Marshall School of Business, the Annberg School of Communication, or the Dorsnlife College of Letters, Art, and Science. My cumulative GPA is 3.43, weighted. My ACT was a 24 and my SAT is a 1610 (Math:510, Reading: 530, and Writing: 570). I'm going to retake both tests to try and up my scores. I've been a varsity cheerleader for three years and i've been on the women's varsity golf team for four years. I was a Editor and Lieutenant Governor for Key Club, ive been in Business Professionals of America and made it to state all four years of high school and qualified for nationals one year, im an active member of the Idaho Drug Free Youth. I work a part time job and also assistant coach and teach fundamental and basic level gymnastics. I have completed around 70 hours of community service with projects including organizing blood drives for my high school and military donation drive in addition to raising money for the local animal shelter. I was the Junior class treasurer and am currently the ASB Treasurer. I am currently dual-enrolled at North Idaho College where I am taking classes for both high school and college credit and will have completed around 30 credits by the time I graduate. I live in a small town of about 2000 people in north Idaho ( i don't know if my geographical location will have any impact on my admission). My high school only offers basic classes because of our funding and enrollment numbers.</p>

<p>Also will the college that plan to apply to within USC have any affect on my acceptance. Like would I have a greater chance of getting into the College of Letters, Art, and Science than the School of Business?</p>

<p>Your extracurriculars are impressive, but with your stats USC is a loooong reach. The mean UW GPA for accepted students was 3.8 and weighted was over 4. The 50% range for ACT was 30-33 and SAT was 2030-2250. Make sure you have a couple safeties</p>

<p>@intbacc what was the average gpa acceptance for transfers this year?</p>

<p>3.7 unweighted from 2011, I don’t know about 2012. I assumed the 3.43 weighted GPA mentioned in the post was for high school classes. Either way, OP’s unweighted GPA and test scores are far below average</p>

<p>@intbacc do you think a student with a 3.6 is competitive for Marshall at USC? From past outcomes what would u say?</p>

<p>It really depends. What are your stats (SAT scores, ACT scores, AP/IB courses) and extracurriculars. A 3.6 unweighted GPA is .1-.2 below the average unweighted GPA but with strong ECs and test scores it is definitely possible</p>
