Hi,

I am very interested in USC’s broadcast journalism program however I do not think I will have time to take my SAT one more time since this is my senior year.

My scores are:
First time I ended up with a 1650, I don’t remember the scores but of course they were all low. Let’s just say I had no clue what I was getting myself into and only finished a paragraph on the Essay.
Second time: CR=620 M=580 W=700 Overall=1900

So far my AP scores/grades are:
World History=4 Got an A in the class
U.S. History=4 Got an A in the class both semesters
AP English Language=5 Got an A in the class both semesters
AP European History=3 Got an A in the class
AP Human Geography=4 Got an A in the class
AP Statistics=3 Got an A in the class
AP Spanish=2 Got an A in the class (probably won’t send that one in :()
The rest of my classes are honors classes and I also got A’s in those, except for Honors Physics when I got an 88.

My senior year schedule looks like this:
P.E. (required to take it to graduate)
AP Economics (2 semesters)
AP Comparative Government (2 semesters)
AP Literature
Accelerated Math 3
Journalism (2 semesters) I will be Editor in Chief of the school newspaper
Advanced Scientific Research

I hope to get at least 4’s and 5’s on my last AP exams and I will end up with having taken 10 AP classes throughout my high school years.

EC’s:
President of Drama Club
Senator of my class
Editor in Chief of Newspaper
Got the lead role in our school productions for 3 years
Played a principle role in the Atlanta Opera’s “The Magic Flute” as the Second Genie
Participated in 3 Theater of the Star’s productions (these are national tour musicals)
Have over a 100 hours in community service by helping out my local nursing home
Worked in a non-paid internship position for Celebrate Life International
Part of NHS
Part of BETA club
My entire family is Russian and I speak the language.
I translated missionary packets for the Celebrate Life program in Russia.

I am in a magnet program for international studies in GA and it is a very rigorous program.

If USC looked at me holistically, do you think I may have a chance at their program?
