I had similar SAT and a higher GPA (around 5.0 W) and I am a Cooper Scholar in the HC. Here’s what the USC website says:

Freshman recipients of the Cooper Scholars award generally present an average SAT score of 1444 on critical reading and math sections combined (or ACT composite score of 32) and an average weighted GPA of 4.43

So you certainly have a chance. Just write some really good essays. As a sidenote, if you get into the HC, you’ll probably get at least Coopers. I’ve yet to meet anyone in Honors who has a smaller one.
