Likelihood of USC

[dcl257]

<p>hey, im a white male junior in massachusetts</p>

<p>i go to a competitive school and have a rank in class of 7/301, and have been taking the hardest courseload as possible, while taking latin and spanish simultaneously</p>

<p>i have only taken one sat II, Chemistry, and i got a 640 on it
I will probably end up with about a 2100 on the SAT based on previous scores</p>

<p>my extracuricullars are good, having done drama for the last 2 years for long periods of time (even getting my letter in it... lol), while being involved in many clubs. This fall I did cross country, and will be in NHS by the spring.</p>

<p>I talked with my guidance counselor and she said that USC would be a reach school for me. Now i know i didn't give too much information, but I was wondering how likely it would be for me to get in there.</p>

<p>thanks for the help</p>

<p>Maybe things have changed in the three years since I took the test, but I thought you could only get a 1600 on the SAT?</p>

<p>Anyways, last year's class had a 3.9+ gpa and around a 1400 sat. Most of them also held very high leadership or founding positions in their extra curric. </p>

<p>If you really want to improve your chances of getting in, do as much community service as possible - start a community service organization in your high school as you can - cause SC is big on that. </p>

<p>Write an interesting essay, and don't sound snotty or spoiled. There is too much of that at SC already.</p>
