<p>SAT I plays a very important role in your evaluation by USC Adcoms. The SAT II, however, is optional for USC. It pays to put more effort into the SAT I. </p>
<p>The most important criteria, however, will be your hs transcript (your gpa combined with the rigor of your courses–are they the hardest courses offered at your school?)</p>
<p>The GCs at your high school should have a good idea of what range of students got accepted to USC in past years. Ask them about your chances.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
