<p>You’re talking about the USC in CA right? I’d say it’s a reach for you cause that school is MAJORLY competitive and it’s your GPA that’s bringing you down. You really need it up there at like 4.1 to have a really decent shot, but you’re covered with everything else, plus make sure that essay’s killer. Good luck!!</p>
