<p>His ACT is the equivalent of a 1330 on the SAT. I’d definitely stick with the ACT. It’s a lot higher!</p>

<p>But I think he has a really great chance of getting into USC and probably will get a scholarship.</p>

<p>High GPA/ACT and a lot of extra curriculars…</p>

<p>USC also likes out of state kids. Only 10% of our funding comes from the state, so oos kids really help with tuition.</p>

<p>Good luck to your son!! :)</p>
