<p>Dec. 9th is not late, I don't know if you are eligible for scholarships but that shouldn't affect your chance at acceptance. Your GPA and scores are great; whatever you do, don't retake those SAT IIs! A 790 on Math IIC is incredible and 680 in physics is just fine. Instead, take one in history or some subject to show them you are skilled in a variety of disciplines.</p>

<p>My understanding is that USC looks carefully at unweighted GPA. Is the GPA you stated weighted or unweighted? If it is unweighted I would say you are a strong candidate.</p>

<h2>"I am not a US citizen or a resident."</h2>

<p>that will make it more difficult to get admissions, and are you ready to pay the big bucks ? cause they virtually give no aid to international students from what I've heard...</p>

<p>I don't need financial aid... my GPA is unweighted and only includes 10th and 11th grade core curriculum</p>
