<p>Anyone…</p>
<p>You need to take your SATS; 1250 plus and you’re probably fine. Otherwise your GPA is a little low. (SC does a sliding scale – higher GPA lower SAT or lower GPA higher SAT = admit)</p>
<p>So if i dont get a 1100, what would you say?</p>
<p>USC states that they look at other things in addition to grades. Play up & build up your EC’s / work experience. Write a compelling “optional personal statement”. AND do your best to get up your GPA and SAT score. Remember that you can take the SAT more than once. They will use your highest grades from each section. Good Luck…</p>
<p>See Below: This is from the SC website (SC is primarily numbers based.)
They will recalculate your GPA based only on academic subjects; however they weight APs and Honors; both receive an additional one point; this may help your GPA. </p>
<p>Admission as a freshman to the University of South Carolina is based on high-school courses and Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or American College Testing (ACT) scores. While we have no cut-off for examination scores, students who complete the required 19 high-school academic units with at least a B average (excluding physical education) and who score 1250 total on the SAT or 27 on the ACT will normally be considered. Higher grades can sometimes offset lower entrance examination scores.</p>
<p>meco–are you saying they automatically exclude classes like Orchestra, PE, Health (required in our state?) from the GPA or only if that PE grade hurts someone’s GPA?</p>
<p>my understanding is they only consider academic subjects (English, Science, History, Math, Foreign language)</p>
<p>Thanks for the help. I take the SAT may 1st. Ill post my scores then…</p>
<p>So i got a 1070 on the SAT. (Not very good I know and it was my first time anyway) but Where does that put me?</p>
<p>If you visit the USC website, they actually have a graph that shows the percentage of applicants that were admitted with a particular GPA and with a particular SAT score. Should provide the best direct answer to your question. Your current stats do not make you a slam dunk for admission.</p>
<p>Do you have a link for that?</p>
<p>It is found at [USC</a> Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“404 page not found | University of South Carolina”>404 page not found | University of South Carolina)</p>
<p>It shows that, for the class of 2006, 63% of candidates with a gpa between 3.0 and 3.49 and an SAT between 1000 and 1090 were accepted. I suspect the % accepted with these stats was lower in 2008 than in 2006, and will be lower in 2009 as well (due to the likely larger applicant pool).</p>
<p>Thanks for that link. :).</p>
