<p>Ahh but I know USC is so selective. Where do I stand? USC is my dream school, so your opinions will really benefit me. Any recommendations (retaking the SAT, more clubs, etc.)?</p>

<p>I don’t know how helpful this comment is, but since you probably haven’t applied yet, it may still be useful.</p>

<p>A 32 ACT is at the 75th percentile of ALL 46k applicants of last year. 32 ACT is also comfortably in the range of both admits (30-33) and those enrolling (29-33). You seem like you have a very fair shot, and I wish you the best! I’m also a senior, planning to apply to USC Viterbi!</p>

<p>How much actual filmmaking experience do you have? You’re great academically, but the cinematic arts supplements hold a lot of weight</p>
