<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>
