Any chance for a scholarship?</p>

<p>GCards-Automatic in, and the only thing keeping you from the scholarships are SAT scores, they are on the lower end for candidates. USC puts a huge/disproportionate emphasis on SAT Scores from what I've heard. And no colleges look at writing scores this year, which is unfortunate given your stellar writing score.</p>

<p>JuiceboxHero - thanks for the reply. I was just accepted today, which I think means I get to interview for the trustee scholarship, which comes as a bit of a surprise. They must have loved my essays!</p>
