I wanna be a Trojan Man

<p>Alright - so I'm a little worried and I'm asking what are my chances to get into USC?</p>

<p>UW GPA - 3.721
W GPA - 4.221
Class Rank 40 of 352
ACT - 29</p>

<p>Also, I'm thinking of applying to NYU and Madison, possibly Northwestern.</p>

<p>Please help me out. Thanks, and let me know if i forgot anything.</p>

<p>ACT could be higher. GPA is low, but class rank and W GPA account for that What are your SAT II scores? Where are your ECs? Where are your awards? If that’s all you have (and I seriously doubt it is), then</p>

<p>USC: Reach
NYU: Low Reach
Northwestern: Big Reach</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty solid, but not overly impressive. Same with your scores. If you have some really amazing ECs and recommendations/essays, I would say USC is a medium reach. Good luck and fight on!</p>

<p>Yeah I’ve been a part of a lot of ECs and have been officers in most of them, yeah and I’ve asked for recs from teachers that know me, and know how to write. Thanks again guys.</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty close to USC’s average (slightly low) and you not being in the top 10% of your class also hurts a little. USC is really big on people who have good ECs–especially with leadership in them, though–and your W GPA is good. These could both help you overcome the GPA and class rank.</p>

<p>You’ll need about a 1900+ SAT I score (probably even slightly higher, like close to the USC average–which is 1950 or so.)</p>

<p>Best of success to you.</p>
