Hi! I am an out of state student from California and I was wondering if I had any chance at qualifying for either of these scholarships with a 4.03 GPA and a 30 on the ACT?
From the USC website:
McKissick Scholars Award*
In 2015, recipients of the McKissick Scholars Award had an average SAT score of 1391 (ACT score of 31) and an average weighted high school GPA of 4.50. Recipients of this award qualify for the in-state tuition rate.
–
Flinn Scholars Award*
In 2015, recipients of the Flinn Scholars Award had an average SAT score of 1336 (ACT score of 30) and an average weighted high school GPA of 4.28. Recipients of this award qualify for the in-state tuition rate.
Be sure and check with admissions on how they view your stats. I think they recalculate GPA for OOS students so you might want to see how they do it. Your GPA might be stronger than you think. Also remember that USC doesn’t use any auto stats (if you have X ACT/SAT, you get $X) for these awards - it is based on the applicants for a given year.
You look like you have a good shot for some money. Good luck.
