That’s really all I do. I know my extracurriculars are pretty weak but I really just do my schoolwork and then I work on Go most days.
USC: Match
Is UT-Austin your safety or is there something you dislike about it?
I’d just rather go out of state for college. I’ll probably apply to UT Austin anyway just to be safe.
What is your major?
Is that your weighted GPA?
what is your M+CR? USC can be a bit of a score hound.
Your ECs seem weak, but not sure how much that matters to USC…have you checked Collegeboard for that?
Where else are you applying? If you want to go OOS, then you need other back-ups.
Have your parents run the NPCs on USC’s website? Will they pay for USC or other schools?
My major is computer science/computer engineering
My weighted GPA is 13.5, I’m not sure how my school’s GPA works.
My M+CR is 1470. Also, I typed it wrong, my SAT was 2180, not 2170
I’m not sure exactly where else I’m applying yet, but I will definitely be applying to several schools
According to collegeboard they care about ECs, but consider academics, essays, and recommendations more important.
In my opinion its a low reach for you.
I think it is a low-reach to high-match for you.
