I have a 3.6 GPA and 1310 SAT and I really want to go to USC as an English major. I’m the first to have a chance to go to college in my family, I play the violin, I participated in student gov for 3 years, volunteered in a hospital for 2. My essays are pretty good and I’m just trying to see if I actually have a chance for USC.
Can you afford USC? It’s $72K per year.
Their posted “average” GPA was 3.76 with a higher average SAT score than what you’ve posted.
Your essays need to be very good.
Apply, because you never know who they will admit, but be aware of the need to pay the bill.
