<p>anyone get in with a 3.1???</p>
<p>bump (10 char)</p>
<p>I can't give you any reassurance, but I'm trying to get out of Jersey and go to USC also.</p>
<p>It's my SAT score that scares me though (1870) - I have a 3.68 unweighted so I suppose that's decent.</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
<p>i would kill for you GPA. its a really good GPA but decent for usc. the only thing thats good is my SAT(1960). but the only thing that could save my horrible GPA is a 2400.</p>
<p>Yes, it has happened. Depending on other factors there are kids at SC with that gpa.</p>
<p>I don't know either. But me too Chinaski. I have a low SAT score. 1850.</p>
<p>yeah im in a similar situation. low sat score (1960)</p>
<p>LOL... my SAT score is also 1960 (2010 superscore).</p>
<p>does usc superscore?</p>
<p>Yeah, USC superscores.</p>
<p>ahhhh i'm in the same situation as you. i have around a 3.45 GPA and i'm freaking out. my ACT is decent though...29. but even that, is like the low end of USC's mid 50%. </p>
<p>just shoot me now. </p>
<p>i'm praying that USC will like my extracurriculars and see some potential in me! i want to go so bad!</p>
<p>not to mention the valedictorian is applying there too, lucky me.</p>
<p>there's a kid at my school who doesn't even want to go and is applying. he just wants to get into a school in california just to say he did and the only reason it's usc is because he was too lazy to get any of the other school's applications done by their deadlines.</p>
<p>whatever, may the best man win.</p>
<p>I totally know what you mean Chinaski. I know a guy who got in a couple weeks ago and doesn't even care. He considers SC his "safety school". Meanwhile, I'm having an anxiety attack because my letter hasn't come yet! Life is so unfair.</p>
<p>I think 3.1 is on the low side, but I'm sure there have been exceptions :) If you have great ECs or you've proven that you're outstanding in some area, I'm sure you have a chance.</p>
<p>is your gpa weighted or nonweighted? </p>
<p>anyways, i know how you feel <em>sigh</em> at least you have higher SAT than i do
(1900). I really hope that USC will my essays and extraculiculars. I want to go there soo soo bad! </p>
<p>do you guys know if the essays and other non merit stuff considered a lot?</p>
<p>to make you feel better.... I got in with a 3.23 UW 3.43 W ...
(32 ACT)</p>
<p>ahhhh</p>
<p>I have a 3.3, but a 34 on my ACTs and a 2110 on my SATs...</p>
<p>I really don't know if I'll get in or not</p>
<p>just curious but what would admissions rather see: higher gpa meaning you can thrive consistently in a true academic environment or a higher test score meaning you thrive in a four hour testing scenario?</p>
<p>I think it's both. SAT and GPA should be viewed together. A 4.0uw from a low performing school is not necessarily better than a 3.5 from a high performing school. That is why colleges look at SAT/GPA together.</p>
