<p>Here are some factoids to help you with this:
USC got 46,104 applicants last year - 9,187 were admitted and about 1/3 of those committed to the university. Therefore, acceptance rate is roughly 20%.
mean GPA for admitted students = 3.8 unweighted.
Lower 25% Quartile ACT score: 30
Upper 25% Quartile ACT score: 33
Because it is a private university, I think whether you come from private/public/in-state/out-of-state high school is irrelevant.</p>
<p>With a 3.6 and a 32 ACT, I think you stand decently. The GPA could use a bump, but the ACT score will work well for you. As for your schedule, i don’t know how many AP/Honors/IB classes you have.
Your extra curriculars are well rounded - athletic, volunteer, and academic based clubs.
I would say because you are a minority, it would help you. But i do not believe USC takes that into account.</p>
<p>I think you’ll get in. Possibility that you won’t - but I think you will.</p>
<p>I have a 31 ACT, 3.9 GPA, and I’m from Ohio - so good luck, I know how it feels to be anxious and worrisome!</p>
