How hard was USC this year to get into?

<p>So you did not get in? Are you sure you haven't gotten in or are you guessing?</p>

<p>educated guess, but i cant log into any of those sites, and the packet most likely would have come already; unless there is an odd chance that i was the last person they reviewed and decided to mail mine out with all the rejections / spring admits.</p>

<p>Sakrei, your stats are in there adn you have a good shot at getting in; i can see why you are confused. everything looks good to me except for maybe your GPA is low. Almost everyone I know had a 4.0+ who got in. Did you get asked a midyear report?</p>

<p>I didn't get asked for my midyear report, i have a 4.0 (w), but isnt there weighted avg 4.0? grr i hate this feeling, i havent even officially heard from USC, but from what everyone has been saying its not looking good. I am thinking of calling them tomorrow (assuming rejection comes), and just being professional and asking a few questions. I know I wont get them to change their mind, but its worth a shot I guess.</p>

<p>can't hurt. at least you'll know that you tried everything in your power to make it happen. it's easier to move on after that.</p>

<p>yea, never hurts to try. let us know how it goes. what schools have you been accepted to?</p>

<p>i got into georgia tech engineering (#2 choice), and UT austin engineering, deferred from cornell early decission (later rejected :/), rejected carnegie mellon. ill definately let u guys know</p>

<p>Sakrei, I'm pretty sure you have an advantage of getting in - not to jinx you. Where do you live?</p>

<p>i live in houston, texas.</p>

<p>well i think they're still mailing out decisions till april 1. I got mine two weeks ago and i'm international - i live in indonesia - which is probably why they prioritised mine first.</p>

<p>my stats...</p>

<p>1350 sat
34 act
3.8something unweighted, 4.something weighted
2 AP's (this year only)
GREAT interview
GREAT essay</p>

<p>...and i am now a part of the trojan family. :)</p>

<p>p.s. got mine march 24th</p>

<p>son was rejected - got letter today. good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Send my condolences to your son; plus remind him that he can always transfer. I am anticipating a rejection as soon as my mom calls me to tell me what came in the mail; then I will call the admin office to see if I can get anymore information.</p>

<p>lol i called the engineering dean today, and without telling him my name or any of my information he said to me "yeah, im looking at your file now and it is very impressive but it is just very competitive."</p>

<p>accepted</p>

<p>my stats:</p>

<p>1480 SAT
700W /730M /740Spanish SATII's
some EC's some leadership
Good essay...
4.214 W/ 3.8Uw
ok recs...
No interview.. i didn't know there was one..
rank: 14/450+ </p>

<p>i think my GPA and SAT scores helped a lot. because everything else was so-so.</p>

<p>USC was bottom choice out of 11 schools. also got acceted to CMU.. but CMU seems really.... unhygenic? </p>

<p>Anyways, i'm most likely going to USC</p>

<p>Congrats exile! I hope you do come here!</p>
