<p>Hi there, Bkoo. My recommendation is bump those test scores up. Here’s the freshman profile of USC: <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/documents/FreshmanProfile2013FINAL.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/documents/FreshmanProfile2013FINAL.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Furthermore, you need to make your extracurricular activities shine. It seems like an unimpressive list to me, your average reader. </p>

<p>Also, really put effort into your essays. Schools have a difficult time rejecting someone who is real to them on paper, and who they can envision being on campus. </p>

<p>If you can fix these things, you have a good chance of admittance. Good luck!</p>

<p>Just to clarify, the ECs are unimpressive in my mind because I don’t see “success” behind them. By this, I mean either significant personal growth (what I think would help them standout) and/or medals/ trophies.</p>
