<p>Hello everyone.</p>
<p>I am a caucasian male from NJ with an 1870 620R 600M 650W and a 3.7 unweighted gpa.</p>
<p>My ec's are good I promise (leadership positions, commitment, varsity letters, lots of volunteer work). </p>
<p>Do people with SAT's 90 points below USC's average even have a shot?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>P.S. 9 honors courses and a few AP's. Never a grade below a B.</p>
<p>you definitely have a shot. However, it really depends on everythings like grades, ECs etc. On the Stanford board, someone got into Stanford w/a 1700! However, that person had amazing grades and great ECs. Make sure everything is amazing and above average. Good Luck!
PS I want to go to USC too! Fight On!</p>
<p>1870 is a little bit below average for USC, but still, it's not low enough to auto reject you. If you believe you have good essays and EC's, you should be fine</p>
<p>Yes, it can happen. As Senluck said -if you have good essays and ECs...</p>
<p>im a usc student and the only people i know that got in with a low sat score like yours are minorities</p>
<p>great. i have VERY similar stats, so i guess this means i'm pretty much out of the running.</p>
<p>i applied for film production though, so maybe they'll put more emphasis on my essays.</p>

<p>Apply with the understanding that USC is a reach school for you.</p>
<p>how about an sat with 660M 600R and poor 520W?</p>
<p>writing is negligible right?</p>
<p>1870 SAT/2400 SAT would be fine if your ECs and GPA is above their expectations.</p>
<p>cho1220: A 1260/1600 is below the midrange of SAT I scores for accepted USC applicants. Some universities consider the writing score, but most do not. Each applicant is much more than a standardized test score. With a 1260/1600 SAT I for USC, you will need to have a very strong application in most or all other areas such as GPA, recommendations, ECs, essays & showing that you are a match with USC.</p>
