<p>Everything on your application looks solid enough, but it’s really hard to gauge chances unless an applicant is in some way outstanding and almost guaranteed to get in or…the opposite (:(). You seem like you’re right within the range for USC on all levels, slightly above average when it comes to test scores, so it’s hard to determine…Hopefully your essays and recs were good and conveyed what makes you unique! Best of luck to you! Try not to worry too much about it anymore; it’s out of your hands, and your chances of acceptance aren’t bad at all. :)</p>
<p>thanks for the response, I wasn’t sure about my chances, I think my recs from my teachers and counselor were rly good and my essays were also solid so hopefully I’ll be able to get into USC even though im from NY.</p>
<p>I think you look good too.
As for being from NY, that will have no bearing on your chances. Are you thinking that CA students are favoured? That’s not the case here, as is with the UC schools. USC is private and has a very high percentage of out of state and international students.</p>
<p>Being from NY doesn’t impact your chances at all at USC. You know that USC is a private school that takes kids from all over the country (and the world even), right? They don’t have any preference for Californian applicants; it just happens that more Californians apply overall since you know, most Cali kids love to stay in Cali and USC is one of the big 4 Cali schools (Stanford, USC, UCLA, Berkeley) that many high-achieving Cali students apply to.</p>
<p>Ya I knew that USC was private but when looking at their admission profile from previous years it looked like an overwhelming number of CA students compared to students from other states in the US. I guess it was probably just more CA applicants than others from around the US. Thanks for all the info.</p>
<p>Also I just read what you said Eiffel about the 4 big cali schools and applied to all of them even though I doubt I will get into the other Stanford Berkeley and UCLA.</p>
<p>No problem. And yeah, Berkeley and UCLA only take ~10% of applicants from out-of-state, so out-of-staters have it pretty hard. Stanford…it’s really a crapshoot. Depends a lot on your essays and demonstrated passion.</p>
