<p>Your stats are really strong and are really on par with what the program looks for, but you're lacking the selling point that you're going to need later down the road. USC tends to invite kids back to interview based on who has something interesting to talk about. When you're doing your application, think hard about what you want to put most forward.</p>

<p>I have a 2100 SAT score, with a 3.8 UW/4.3 weighted GPA. Rankwise, I'm in the top 5%. As regards ECs, besides volunteering at local hospitals, I initiated an epidemiology project at my high school, which was later co-sponsored by an HMO (they thought it was interesting idea). </p>

<p>I know my stats are not stellar, but what are my chances?</p>

5

<p>you might have a good chance. med programs and colleges in general love unique stuff like that, and i can imagine usc ba/md being interested even more.</p>

<p>was that for mumbo124?</p>

<p>yea but you have a really good shot too if you can highlight your hospital volunteering</p>
