<p>Planning on joing Academic Decathlon next year.</p>

<p>Can I still get in? I havn't taken my ACT yet but I will in June. and what would be a good ACT score to have for admission.</p>

<p>Oh yeah I should add that i’m going to be a film and business major</p>

<p>Unfortunately, your GPA just seems too low for USC, even if you want to be a film major. Also, you don’t seem to have anything that shows your passion for film or business. It’s good that you have several activities you do, but your 1 year of all of those instruments isn’t going to help much either as you’ve only done each of them for a year (other than piano). My best advice would be to try and raise your GPA up as much as you can and score as high as you can on the ACT’s (probably should aim for a 33+ to at least try and make up for your GPA).</p>

<p>Here’s the profile for the entering class of 2009 as a reference of their stats.</p>

<p>Does participating in film festivals help?</p>
