<p>D had ACT score in this range and was admitted to USC. However, she did not qualify for any merit scholarships. Keep in mind that you will have to submit application for early deadline for merit scholarship consideration but there is no separate application to file at USC. </p>
<p>D was an “ACT kid” and didn’t do as well on SAT - whereas S was the reverse and did great on the SAT and not so hot on the ACT. Couldn’t hurt to take both tests since you might do better at ACT.</p>
