<p>Volunteer: strong, consistent resume that shows my leadership skills</p>

<p>I work 4 jobs simultaneously to develope my conceptual skills:
1) trilingual interpreter for an electronic company in China
2) Chinese cultural dance instructor
3) YMCA childcare staff
4) Office assistant for a management company in America</p>

<p>Area of Focus: //Communications// I am trilingual in Chinese, Japanese, English</p>

<ul>
<li>I have been working as a trilingual interpreter for an altimeter company in China for 3 years</li>
<li>I organized English classes to teach the Chinese children from an orphanage (interviewed by Nanjing K-1 channel)</li>
<li>I published an article in Chinese Yangtze Newspaper after surveying 500 Chinese students. I wrote of youth's cultural differences by comparing Chinese students to American students. </li>
</ul>

<p>Strong recommendation letters. </p>

<p>Strong essay topic: I have turned my disadvantages into advantages and created opportunities for my self. Focused on my one personal family struggle in my 10th grade year and how I have evolved from that hardship and contributed to the community. </p>

<p>Aiming for Annenberg of Communication... 2nd major:undeclared</p>

<p>(( I'm from the East Coast. My school is one of the top 100 public schools in America that about 90% of students who applies to USC are admitted. (of course, this shouldn't be an accurate evaluation for me individually, but my high school does have a great relationship with USC)))</p>

<p>Does your school rank? Do you know where you are in your class? Given the history of your school with USC that might have an impact.</p>

3

<p>I am top 15%.. I didn't give USC my rank b/c my councelor told me class rank is beneficial if you are the top 5%</p>

4

<p>I think you have a decent shot. SAT score is on the lower end of admitted students but everything else seems strong.</p>

5

<p>thanks! Anyone else?</p>

6

<p>is Annenberg really competitive? I know USC's business is</p>

7

<p>Is my SAT I score of 1900 too low for USC? :(</p>

8

<p>Sorta, but its not impossible. I speak from experience. if you want to really get in though, i would suggest getting higher SAT scores.</p>

9

<p>No.. I think I maxed out already.. it's the verbal section that kills me with a "560".. it's just hard because English is my 3rd section.. the rest of my application looks great.. I hope USC takes that into consideration</p>

10

<p>i think your job as a trilingual interpreter will really help make up for your verbal score. i scored a 750 on the verbal section but i only speak one language, so i think your situation might be different.</p>

11

<p>hopefully... :)</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

12

<p>USC looks at SAT(or ACT) and GPA the most. The rest are only considered</p>

13

<p>I wouldn't say that. I would not have been admitted based on my numbers alone. My impression is that USC is less numbers-based than most universities of its caliber.</p>

14

<p>That's what the common data set says.</p>

15

<p>Sfgiants, </p>

<p>what were ur stats?</p>

<p>As you can see, my sat and gpa are not my strengths...</p>

16

<p>Please chance me for USC's ANNENBERG! Thank you</p>

17

<p>without the trilingual interpreter stuff i'd say it's a stretch, but with it i think you've got a good chance. hope to see you next year!!!</p>

<p>For annenberg, bluebeard? Or USC in general?</p>

<p>thanks for the encouragement!</p>
