Let me start by saying that my story is a bit different than some other people. I was taken out of the United States to an undeveloped country at a young age ( 8 years). As a result I missed a lot of my education ( middle school, high school). I came back to the US at the age of eighteen and since then I have been sustaining myself in this country without any help. As soon as I got here I got my GED and it was time for community college.
My GED scores aren’t impressive since I was significantly disadvantaged. I have been working really hard in community college and I want to know if I actually have a chance at USC. However, since I do sustain myself, I haven’t been able to stop working more than 40 hrs a week since age 18 (currently 25 years old). As a result I have little time and no EC’s so I’m worried they won’t even look at my application. Well here are my college courses:

I know you might be thinking he hasn’t even taken them yet and he already put A. The thing is that so far these courses have not been challenging for me and I have eased through them (maybe cause it’s community college). I must say that I haven’t stopped working 40 hrs since age 18. Also my major is aerospace engineering. I must emphasize that I have a GED not because I’m a slacker but because opportunity was taken away from me. My overall gpa is 3.9. I know that I have been attending let time but that’s because I need to have a life and a 40hr job, so that’s my balance between college, a life, and work. Honest responses, do you think I have a chance at USC? No negative comments please not everyone is as priveleged as others. Please respect.
Sorry if this is bad written I’m currently in class. (Multitasking)
