<p>I am a very strong writer so I do not believe that essays will be an issue and my grade trends are very strong.</p>

<p>I'm am looking in to business.</p>

<p>I think you have an excellent chance given your GPA & ACT. But remember that USC is a private university; your OOS status neither hurts nor helps you.</p>

<p>Trust me, u’ll get in for sure. Three of my friends with SAT barely passing 2000 line and stats far lower than yours got in to Marshall.</p>

<p>Bump up the test scores a bit to be safe and you’re in. </p>

<p>And Roll Tide.</p>

<p>Everything looks fine to me, just keep up what you’re doing, test well on the SAT, and get some good recommendation letters.</p>
