<p>Hi, I go to a small charter school in San Diego, CA. Since my school is so small, it doesnt offer many classes. I have taken ALL the offered AP classes in both 10th and 11th grade. I am also enrolled in the full international baccelaureate program. </p>

<p>Be honest.</p>

<p>ur in .. i think</p>

<p>The SAT II score is not amazingly high, but its not bad either. Did you take the SAT I?</p>

<p>Yes, nevertheless, I believe you are a pretty safe match—good luck.</p>

4

<p>The only thing is that I dont think USC requires SAT II... I just figured it would help considering I'm declaring biology as my major. I MIGHT take them again. </p>

<p>No.. well, yeah, I did take the SAT's, but I scored extremely low. Is my ACT score high enough?</p>

5

<p>The middle 50% from collegeboard.com says 27-31 for the ACT, so you're above even the average matriculant. Good sign.</p>

6

<p>The average accepted is higher than the average matriculant. If you can get 32 on the ACT (1400 on SAT), then you're a pretty safe match, in my opinion.</p>

7

<p>it really doesn't matter what your chances are. be confident, have a good application, and see what happens. in the time you waste asking people your chances, you could be writing your essay.</p>
