<p>I applied to USC and was required to send in my senior year first semester grades. Is anyone else in the same boat? What do you think it implies in terms of my place in the applicant pool? I'm nervous that because my grades weren't perfect it will hinder my admission.</p>
<p>doesn’t USC require everyone to send in first semester grades? I think everyone’s in the same boat and how it affects you depends on your grades obviously! If you did good first semester then you should get a small boost, if not, don’t count on one!</p>
