<p>Somebody on this board said that they put a note on their application about how competitive their high school was, I go to a really competitive school too, should I call admissions and get them to make some note about that?</p>
<p>that's what your counselor rec is for.</p>
<p>if your highschool is really competitive, then sc should know about it. if not, then that's too bad :(.</p>
<p>boo I didn't get a counselor rec, only from two teachers....will they still know?</p>
<p>probably. you go to a private right? does usc typically accept a lot of students at your school? because if they do, then they for sure know.</p>
<p>i don't think YOU personally saying anything will help though :</p>
<p>if they know, they know. that's why a lot of the students at my school get screwed over for ivvies because ivvies aren't AS familiar with our school as the cali schools. i mean, a lot of people do get in, but ... yeah.</p>
<p>Go to the counseling office and see if they have a school profile that they mail out with counseling letters. If so, get one and mail USC your school profile.</p>
<p>alright, thanks for all the info guys!</p>
