<p>how important is a legacy to USD? my sister attends this school and i REALLY want to go there. i was wondering if the fact that she attends helps me out in any way. i have nice ACT score, and good activities, and a good essay. The only area im lacking in is my GPA, but i don't want that to be the cause of a rejection letter. please help!</p>
<p>Call their admissions office and fine out. Low GPA can def be a factor. Good luck</p>
<p>[USD:</a> Facts: Common Data Set](<a href=“http://www.sandiego.edu/facts/cds/2011/cdsc.php]USD:”>http://www.sandiego.edu/facts/cds/2011/cdsc.php) Section C7. GPA is MUCH more important than legacy (and I question whether a sister counts as legacy).</p>
<p>well my gpa is a 3.4, and i have had a 3.6 for the last 2 years, so i don’t think it will kill my chances toooo much, will it…?</p>
