<p>USC is test score crazy.</p>
<p>In recent years, they’ve been rejecting kids w/ scores around/just below 2100, so I don’t think a 2120 would get any merit. </p>
<p>My friend’s D had an ACT 35 was Val of her class, applied early, and got NOTHING. She’s now at MIT. </p>
<p>USC is a need-based aid school, so any merit you’d get would get applied to need anyway. How much merit do you need? How much will your family pay?</p>
