<p>Essays and Letters of rec:
I really like my essays, and I got my counselor to look over it multiple times. I think I'm quite strong in that category.
As to letters of rec, I'm fairly certain those are going to be good as well. One of them's coming from a teacher who taught for 18 years, and I'm pretty sure that's going to be a positive recommendation.</p>

<p>Hook, if at all:
Studied abroad in India for 7th and 8th.</p>

<p>Another thing, do I look good for any scholarships?</p>

<p>Bump?</p>

<p>One other thing, I also work with Apple’s department of community affairs around the local area…</p>

3

<p>Major bump, but no one has answered, so, seriously, YES, definitely you will get into USC. With flying colors.</p>

4

<p>2350 sat? ho-ly ****. you should consider applying to stanford.</p>

5

<p>Enjoy USC next year…sheesh you make my app look like crap</p>

6

<p>You sound like you go to my school…this sounds random, but are you also from MVHS?</p>

7

<p>All one can do is guess, but it appears you have an excellent chance for admission. What is your major? Will you apply to theatre or Thornton? If so, the audition is key. </p>

<p>As you may have read NMScholars who are admitted receive a 1/2 tuition scholarship as well as a $1000 per year NMFoundation Scholarship.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
