Chance me for USC and its merit scholarships?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

Hello everyone,

I am currently a junior, and I’m now starting my frantic search for a college to attend. Since my family won’t be able to receive much financial/need-based aid, we decided to look for in-state colleges (CA). So could you guys please do me a huge favor and chance me for USC and its merit scholarships (presidential, etc)?

Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Asian (Korean)
Location: Southern California
School Type: Public

GPA: 4.0 UW/ 4.63 W
Class Rank: 1/479
APs (currently taking): Physics I, US History, English Writing and Comp, Computer Science A
APs (expected to take next year): English Lit, Calculus BC, Computer Science Principles, Gov/Econ
SAT: none (taking the March one)
ACT: C31 E33 M32 R26 S33 (Superscore: 32)
PSAT: 1400/1520

ECs:

  • Boy Scouts (ever since 6th grade) - soon to be Eagle Scout
  • Senior Patrol Leader (2 years)
  • Junior Assistant Scoutmaster (current)
  • Varsity Tennis (4 years)
  • Debate Club (2 years)
  • Interact Club (1 year)
  • Student Senate
  • Will start community service at local hospital

Well, I think this is it. Looking back at my previous years, I feel like I have been lazy, LOL. I stuck through with Boy Scouts and tennis because they are the things I love to do. And I am now going to start volunteering at the local hospital because I am interested in the medical field (actual medical or biomedical engineering).

Thank you again, and have a great day!!

You need a higher ACT score for those scholarships especially for the Trusty. Aim for 34+ for Presidential and 35+ for Trusty. My daughter was a candidate for the Trusty with a SAT score of 2370 (took once) last year, but was bumped down to the Presidential after being interviewed. I remember the competition was very fierce in the event with a lot of very talented candidates.

@uclaparent9 Thank you for the reply! Wow, sounds very competitive and rewarding! I’ll hopefully get my ACT score up to even be considered for the scholarships

^ Yes if you win the Trusty you will be treated like Gold in USC!
