<p>Given what you’ve told us you look very much like the average USC admit. More detail on your ECs including awards and breadth of activities along with excellent recommendations and essays would obviously strengthen your case. Statistically your a match for USC; given the likely increase in the number of applications to SC due to the change to the CommonAp I would suggest treating USC as a slight reach when compiling your college list. I think you’ll be accepted, but with admit rates flirting with 20% it would be a mistake to think of SC as an easy match and foolhardy to consider it a safety. Good Luck.</p>
<p>Pretty generic ECs, but the scores are average for USC. You will just need to fight a little harder to make your application stand out. Be sure to get really strong and compelling recommendation letters that shed light on who you are as a person and what makes you unique.</p>
