<p>All right, I applied to USC and their accelerated BMD (guarantees medical school if accepted).</p>

<p>However, I can only go if I get their trustee scholarship (full ride), what do you guys think my chances are?</p>

<p>1600 SATs
800IIC, 800BIO, 780Physics, 760 writing
Ranked in top 1-2% of 300
PSAT: 227
AP Fr-5
Ap Bio-5
Ap calc BC-5</p>

<p>I am an Asian-Canadian. Here's the kicker, I'm applying from Central PA, which is DEFIN not a feeder region. Its like an Alaskan kid applying to CMU.</p>

<p>ECs: A lot of varisty sports, including XC. Track and Vball, but I'm defin not good enough for the USC teams.
(Sportz defin take up a lot of my time)
Math club, Mu Alpha Theta, Math team cap't
Quiz Bowl, President/Founder of Physics Club
Science Olympiad.
I've done most things for 4 yrs straight, so I don't have a HUGE list of stuff.</p>

<p>I speak 3 languages, and want to study medicine later on.</p>

<p>Well, your stats are amazing. You should have already realized that. As long as you wrote a fairly interesting scholarship essay, I think you have an amazing chance. </p>

<p>And even if you don't get the trustee scholarship, I wouldn't count USC out all together. They give out some really comprehenisve financial aid packages. </p>

<p>I wish I had stats like that for my law school apps!</p>

<p>yeah, I guess. But CA is awfully expensive and I'm far from affluent.</p>

<p>They did not require me to write an additional essay but said they would interview me if I got pass the first stage.</p>

<p>I called and realized that they do no give out aid to int'l like me, so I'm screwed unless I get that scholarship.</p>

<p>USC has one of (if not the) highest rates of international students... you are a shoe-in, especially with your stats.</p>
