I know that UC’s only care about your 10-11th grade GPA.
But what about USC. I realled effed up my freshmen year. I got like a 2.8.
Do they mainly focus on your sophomore/junior grades. Because my trend might be the only thing that gives me hope. (4.4, 4.6 two semesters during Junior Year)
<p>Nobody knows what USC looks for because they hardly look for anything and are consequently amazed when their applicants have something other than an excellent transcript and legacy. </p>
<p>You can probably tell that I don't like USC. :)</p>
<p>But to answer your question, my friend (who applied), told me they look at the 9-12 GPA.</p>
<p>If everything else is great, a high SATI and II, lots of APs with high scores, and good ECs, you should have a shot. Did you explain it in you essay?</p>
