<p>I dont think USC has Early Decision. The only categories are Scholarship applicants who must apply by December 1st and those who are not aiming for a scholarship who apply by early January.</p>
<p>oh thank you I never knew that…i am finally getting into the whole college process
but what do you think my chances are for the regular decision with and without scholarships?</p>
<p>There is currently no early decision at USC. I suggest you be more specific about your various clubs and science achievements. I also suggest you ask your guidance counselor or college counselor at your high school to see a scattergram of accepted students and then you can compare how you fit the scattergram. Most universities cannot accept every student in the graduating class, so how many apply from your high school might also make a difference (hard to say–only two students from my son’s high school ended up at USC last year and I don’t know how many were accepted).</p>
<p>What you’ve posted looks competitive to me. </p>
<p>Your first semester senior grades will be looked at too (prior to acceptance) your last semester as a follow up. It’s also a good idea to let your top choice(s) know that they are. Be sure and attend if they have a presentation at your school or in your area. Return interest mailers when you receive them. Get on their radar, so they know you’re a sincere, eager applicant and not just someone applying to 15 different universities (lthe buckshot approach.) good luck.</p>
