You look like competitive candidate but are you considering taking SAT again? A higher writing score may help.

I would try to boost the SAT score. The engineering fields are more competitive stats-wise than the rest of USC. A 2200 would be nice.

Have your English teacher explain the two big mistakes (and one minor one) in that four word sentence and your CR and Writing SATs will jump enough to make USC a safe bet.
