<p>USC: Slight Reach (GPA) </p>

<p>Write bomb essays</p>

<p>is a really good essay the only thing keeping me from usc?</p>

<p>is your GPA unweighted?</p>

<p>bump.......................</p>

<p>hey! why'd you "bump" but not answer my question? :(</p>

<p>hahaha omg like i said again stop fishing for compliments u'll get in ; D</p>

<p>Slight reach, again with the GPA. Everything else sounds great, so you should probably get in. The reason people mention the essays is that it is the best way to ensure that you will have a great application. They can
make all the difference.</p>
