<p>i havent received an official rejection but I can only assume because of failure to gain access into the RSVP website for spring receptions for admitted students (<a href="http://www.usc.edu/admevent%5B/url%5D">http://www.usc.edu/admevent</a>)</p>
<p>SATI: 1320 (690 v, 630 m)
GPA: 3.7 UW
good honors/AP from private school in seattle
lots of leadership and EC's
above avg recs and essays
interviewed fairly well</p>
<p>rejected
SATI: 1320
GPA 4.3 W
lots of leadership and dedicated to EC's
good essays and recs
8 APs by graduation</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>USC really made some interesting admission decisions...a kid in my class got accepted with the following stats:</p>
<p>SAT: 1220
GPA: 3.58 weighted AND unweighted = no honors/AP classes ever
no leadership, only involved in soccer 4 years but not even captain or star player
avg. recs/avg essay
no interview, no ec's</p>
<p>a lot of kids in my class got accepted with lower stats than both of us and its ridiculous....</p>
<p>Most of you have better stats than I do.</p>
<p>I was literally shocked when I got my big crimson acceptance package.</p>
<p>WHY: I have a 3.4. I took only three APs- all during this (senior) year, and only one term of physics senior year. Grades in math and science were awful all through high school. 3.4, though, is unweighted. I got to a private prep school that's academically tougher than publics. So infalted, my GPA is probably around a 3.7, 3.8. </p>
<p>I visited once-- did not interview at all.</p>
<p>Why I got in (maybe):
Good recs
Good ECs
About met average SAT for USC admits: 1390
Pretty darn good essay
Coming from the Deep South (don't think many USC students come from down here)</p>
<p>And, uh, my dad was a Trojan, undergrad and grad.</p>
<p>Make of all this what you will. Maybe they really liked my essay.</p>
<p>All of you that got rejected: You have pretty awesome stats anyway, which means that you probably got into stellar schools anyway. So best wishes!</p>
<p>everyone who was rejected with solid stats or havent heard? did they ask for your mid year reports? because hella people with lower stats than me got asked but i did not and i think somethin is really wrong here...PLEASE ANSWER!</p>
<p>bump....anyone get a mid year who hasn't heard back yet? and was well qualified</p>
<p>and so as i'd thought. I get rejected today. woohoo.</p>
<p>Daughter rejected, received letter 4/2.
Low stats (especially SATs) but they did request her midyear grades which were very good.
Mother and grandfather were legacies, but for masters degrees.</p>
<p>She got into other great schools so no problem here.</p>
<p>I got rejected, 1380, 96/748, didnt get asked for mid year, SOLID ec's / essay, pretty confused on why i got rejected. The letter says the mean SAT score was 1395, and most people who got in made almost straight a's, not sure about that. Wow, i havent been this depressed in a long time.</p>
<p>they didnt request for Mid year report
and i havent heard..but i leave outside the US
...i wonder what happened....</p>
<p>i was asked for midyears, and i had a 4.33 GPA for 1st semester, so it should have helped, but i was still rejected. i got into ucla, and i know a few people who were rejected from ucla and got into usc. I don't know, it's sort of annoying....just a little....</p>
<p>got rejected today. 1360, 3.9 gpa, solid ec's and essays. i was asked for a mid-year report, which was also very strong. this was my first choice but now i'm gonna decide between nyu and umich. i'm thinking of transferring.</p>
<p><strong><em>!!!! *</em></strong>!!!! ***!!!!!</p>
<p>rejected officially today on april 4th...
stats:
1320, 3.7 UW with many honors/AP, excellent EC's and leadership and service, good essays, good recs</p>
<p>What now, futuretrojan? Where you gonna go to college?</p>
<p>my son, nick, was also rejected. just checking to see how you kids did. i'm sorry you didn't get in either. i was rooting for you all. nick is going to try and transfer. he loves usc. his stats were not great, but he is a national award winning director - incredible resume. he'll be fine and so will all of you. best of luck in the future!!!!!</p>
<p>Can I ask a question abot your son nick? Did he get into the film school and not into the official school?</p>
<p>got rejected too.
