Importance of ACT and SAT Scores for Admission

<p>Does anyone know exactly how important SAT and ACT scores are in the admissions process? Does anyone have guesses as to how much weight it put on them compared to everything else? I applied to USC with a pretty strong application except for my test scores (28 ACT...) and I was trying to figure out if I still had a chance</p>

Look for the section of post #1 entitled Hope for those in the lower quadrant.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
