<p>I'm super nervous applications and all, so I want to see what someone else would think. </p>

<p>Unweighted:3.78
Weighted: 4.30(10-11), 9-10 is like 4.2 but a 3.85 UW
top 10%, very competitive school
live in socal
White female
most rigorous classes, end up with 10 aps, 5s on chem, calc ab, and eng lang; 4s on us and euro</p>

<p>ACT:
Comp 33(E32, M32, R33, S34), I retook and got C33(E33, M36, R34, S29)
SAT2s:
Math2 760
Chem 760</p>

<p>Major: Business or accounting... but I guess USC doesn't take that into consideration for applications</p>

<p>ECs:
Have always been involved with marching band, concert band, and jazz band all 4 years. Takes up a lot of time but is worthwhile.
Mentor in a program at my school for the freshmen for 2 years.
Volunteer through a local community service club. Random events mainly
Will have around 100 hrs by the end of summer
AP Scholar with Distinction
NHS and CSF</p>

<p>IMO I think my ECs kinda suck... but I really am going to have some good essays and great teacher recs. Thanks ahead for any help!</p>

<p>I think with that GPA, SAT/ACT, and ECs you're good to go. Apply by the early deadline and I wouldn't be surprised if you got a nice scholarship to boot.</p>

<p>They take your major into consideration just like any other school.
You've probably heard already that Marshall is getting competitive</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you'll get in, but I had similar statistics and I didn't get any special scholarships or anything. Only small alumni scholarships that I had to interview for later. Your chances are solid for admission but don't get your hopes up about a scholarship -- it's getting very competitive these days.</p>

<p>I suggest you highlight your talent in the marching band. USC is famous for its marching band. I think you have wonderful qualifications.</p>
