j814wong- a few suggestions:

1- take the Math II subject test, not Math I - which is too easy.
2- If you have NOT taken AP Physics, which apparently you have not, do NOT attempt to take the Physics subject test. Instead take the US History, or English Lang subject tests which correlate well with the classes you have already taken.
3- Why are you NOT taking AP Physics your senior year? You say you want to be a CS major, but your choice of Senior classes do not show an interest or strength in STEM type classes. I advise you to take AP Physics instead of AP US . Government your Sr year. You will need to have that class under your belt if you get into USC and wish to major in CS, and want to avoid wasting a lot of time and $$ taking basic entry level college physics classes to get up to speed when you get here. The CS dept is in the school of engineering and there are a lot of advanced level math and physics classes that you must take in order to get a CS degree.
