USC Chances

<p>I was wondering what my chances are for being accepted into USC.</p>

<p>My Test Scores:
ACT:
English: 30
Math:29
Reading:27
Science: 35
Composite: 30</p>

<p>My lackluster SAT scores(should I even write them down on the application?)
CR:560
Math:640
Writing:590</p>

<p>GPA:
3.91 Unweighted
4.46 weighted
Rank: My school doesn't rank, but I managed to take a peek at the class GPA and I tie for 16th out of 76 students, which doesn't sound impressive, but you'd be surprised at the amount of smart kids in my class.
AP courses:
English IV
Calculus</p>

<p>EC:
National Honor Society member, FCA, ART club(treasurer)
My school requires each student to do at least 20hours of community service per year. I often do more than that(extra credit). So from school alone, I have over 100hours of comunnity service.</p>

<p>I am a boy scout, soon to be Eagle Scout, with all the leadership roles(PL, ASPL, etc.). So, also more community service, good deeds, yadda yadda++ Also Order of the Arrow member(Scouting's National Honor Society), which includes for service work since it is a service organization. Also Treasurer of the lodge. I also do a lot of competetion in ceremonies for the lodge. I was awarded "best in character" at the Southern Region Section 1 Conclave.</p>

<p>Youth Group which includes going on mission trips and helping rebuild houses after hurricane.</p>

<p>Summer programs: Philmont Scout Ranch, NYLF TECH, National BS Jamboree</p>

<p>Your SATs aren't that bad. Your stats are very similar to mine, the only difference being that I took MANY more AP course than you are. Other than that, I say you have a good chance. But forget about any scholarships; you have to be almost perfect to get one of those!</p>

<p>Great. Yeah, I would have probably taken more AP courses if my school actually offered them. I go to a small catholic school in a midsize city in Louisiana(as you can tell by the class size of 76, which happens to be the biggest class in the school). The only AP courses my school offers are American History AP(didn't fit into my schedule last year), Calculus AP, and English IV AP.</p>

<p>I'm visiting my brother in l.a. next week, and, so, I also scheduled a campus visit. i'm looking forward to actually seeing the campus.</p>
