<p>Well youve got solid SATs and leadership positions, but you seem rather lacking in diversity - sports, music, community service etc. Im sure these can be offset however if your essays and recs eloquently explore something unique about you. Above average SATs but low GPA - Id imagine youd have like a 40% chance to get in, but thats just my guess based on what I can see now</p>

<p>I agree with HappyBuddha entirely - your GPA kinda sinks the whole boat, and the relatively lack of diversity in extracurrics certainly doesn’t help.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>I had very similar SAT scores, gpa, and extra curriculars and I made it in for the spring. Do you think that your personal statement reflected USC’s core values and highlights who YOU are? Did you somehow highlight what you can contribute to the trojan commmunity? This is what, in my opinion, set me apart. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
