What are my chances of getting in USC??

<p>Hi, My name is Krystal and I am currently a Junior. I have yet to take the SAT's, Im taking them in June and am planning to take the ACT's very soon. Im taking PSAT's this october so when I get those results I will update this and what not. I am just very interested in what my chances are to get into the program because it is exactly what I was looking for and there are barely any schools that offer a program like that. They are are also my dream school pretty much and I'm a HUGE trojan fan so I really am hoping I could get into that school.</p>

<p>Freshman and Sophomore year GPA was a maintained 3.8
At the moment it dropped down to a 3.6 but I'm planning to get that back up by the end of the year.</p>

<p>I am female and of Hispanic Descent. Dominican to be exact. I am also Bilingual. (Spanish and English)</p>

<p>I am also part of the Agriscience and Technology Program at my school. </p>

<p>I've taken 3 years of French Foreign Language
( I skipped an entire course this year to be placed in a higher level of French)</p>

<p>Activities:</p>

<p>FFA- 3 years so far
I am a member, (required by the agriscience and technology program) and have had multiple SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) opportunities. In my SAE's I have accumulated about 300+ hours so far and am planning to graduate with over 500+ hours not counting community service hours.
I am planning to run for an officer position ( VP or Secretary )
I have earned awards through the FFA such as : Greenhand Degree, Chapter Degree, and this year I am applying for my State Degree
In the FFA I've also competed at the state level for competitions like- Opening and Closing ceremonies and several Floral competitions.</p>

<p>Drama Club- 3 years
I have been apart of 2 Spring musical productions and now 2 Fall plays.
Usually I have taken the role of actor. This year I have taken the role of Production Stage Manager (PSM) for this year's fall play.</p>

<p>InvAsian Club- 3 years
This club is very different. It is offered excusively at my school since it was made there. This club raises money for third world countries and educates people about the lack of water in those third world countries. They raise the money by putting up shows and performances of Middle Eastern and KPOP choreographies. This is student run (with the exception of the necessary advisor ) and student choreographed and etc.</p>

<p>Lacrosse - 1 year
I played on JV last year as Goalie and hope to make it as JV goalie again or advance to the Varsity level. By my senior year I will hope to make V.</p>

<p>Gay and Straight Alliance club- 2 years
This club raises awareness about the struggles people go through who are homosexual etc and educates people about different types of sexualities. I participate in the day of silence and the Ally Week we have at our school.</p>

<p>DECA - This year
I've applied and am currently a member</p>

<p>I really do try to challenge myself academically wise. Because I am a part of the agriscience program I am required to take a certain amount of agriscience classes so that kind of makes it a bit harder to fit AP level classes into my schedule. Senior year I'm planning to take AP stats and continue on with my french... Possibly seeing if I can take French 5 over the summer to advance to AP french in the fall. I am going to try by my senior year to get into the 3.8 - 4.0 GPA range and really challenge myself. I have a really good selection of teachers that will give me great college recommendations like one of my Agriscience teachers that I have worked very closely with and my french teacher who I've had for 2 years (Freshman and Now) or my advisors for the Tech team of the drama club.</p>

<p>If you guys could tell me what USC likes in terms of resumes and stuff, or some other things that may help increase my chances. Also with what I've said so far what would be a good score to get around the SAT's to help my chances? and for USC is it required to have taken the ACT's??? If you could answer my questions it would be greatly appreciated!!
P.s Thanks for taking the time to read this.</p>

<p>Honest answer. So/So but not great. If you can list what you personally did in those organizations and what you gained from the exp it’d be a lot stronger.</p>
