Hi!
I’m going in to my senior year and graduating next year, 2016. USC is my top school and I’m really hoping that I get in! This is what my information will look like for my apps, so including my classes/ECs for senior year!

SAT: 2100 (not sure if I will take the SAT again or try the ACT)
10 APs including senior year (AP human, AP world, AP chem, AP psych, AP lang, AP stats, AP calc, AP bio, AP physics, AP lit)
6 dual enrollment classes
ECs:
200 community service hours
3 years math NHS
3 years science NHS
3 years relay for life team
Founder and President of school’s nutrition club 3 years
4 years swim team (captain senior year)

Carson Scholar
I also have 2 jobs!
I want to major in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
Also, what do you think my chances would be for getting accepted in to the thematic option?
Thank you so much. I never thought I’d do one of these, but USC is my dream school and I’m so scared that I won’t get in.
By the way, I’m referring to the University of Southern California! =)
I think you have a pretty good shot! Can you please chance me back at USC also?
Hey there! As a student just admitted into USC’s class of 2019, I hope I can provide some useful advice… I’d say you look like a very promising candidate. I love that some of your extracurricular tie into your major and academic interests… It gives the admissions staff a more complete idea of who you are as an individual. Your APs, GPA, and class rank are all awesome as well! My only advice is to try and bump up that SAT. 2100 is a great score, don’t get me wrong, but USC admits AND rejects many many students with higher scores. You want to be as competitive as possible. I also recommend taking the ACT! I took the SAT three times and got very mediocre scores and then I took the ACT once and the rest was history(: Although you are a very strong candidate, I hesitate in saying you have a GREAT shot simply because USC is so incredibly selective… My best advice is to write KILLER essays! Be unique and take a different perspective! Don’t be afraid to be funny too I hope this helped! FIGHT ON
