<p>Well, the SAT is fine, and the ECs are top notch, but that 3.2 UW GPA is a real killer for your chances. Average GPA of USC admittees is about a 3.7 UW and 4.0 W. (average SATs are around 1980 or so)</p>

<p>Maybe you will look okay based upon your English skills compared to other applicants from China--but I have to tell you that I don't think your odds are very good. I suppose it also depends on how low the freshman year was--since that year usually gets thrown out in admission decisions at USC--meaning you could get in based upon the sophomore and junior years.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>P.S. My son is also applying to USC this year--but as a transfer student--so I understand the allure of the USC campus.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response Cal. My freshmen year was very low. My Sophomore was 3.3 First semester to a 4.0 in second semester and Junior year was higher too. =/</p>
