USC admission GPA/SAT score

Applying to College
1

<p>hey guys!
i go to a really, really tough private high school in CA (Crystal Springs Uplands School). i'm really interested in the University of Southern California (USC) and i was wondering if they would take the rigor of my high school into consideration when looking at my GPA. here are my questions:</p>

<p>will the University of Southern California (USC) take the rigor of my high school into consideration whilst looking at my GPA?</p>

<p>what is the average GPA of someone who is admitted - from a public school? from a private school? does it matter/is there a difference?</p>

<p>what is the average SAT score of someone who is admitted?</p>

<p>thanks so much!</p>

<p>Hey crazychapsticks, I’m not that informed on USC specifically, but generally all colleges consider rigor of courseload. I know USC isn’t on the Common Application, but for schools that are, your counsellor will check off a box describing your courseload difficulty. Looking at our school’s Naviance, our average admitted SAT was about a 2130, but many admitted students opt to attend other schools so this number is likely lower than those who chose to matriculate at USC.</p>
