<p>i have a 3.3 GPA(low, very low i know) with not many EC's. i do however go to one of the top public schools in new jersey. anyways i was wondering if a summer scholar program at the university of Miami would help on my application. im not asking if it will be a hook, but if it will help. and if anyone has gotten in to USC with around a 3.3 GPA please post, i feel so sick after reading all these people who say chance me when they have like a 4.0GPA 6 AP's pretty much every EC you can think of and great scores, but theres still someone saying well you kind of have a shot. lol. thanks</p>
