<p>I’ve only taken the SAT once at this point and I made a 1240/1600. BUT I have a LOT of exceptional ECs that I have done for 4 years plus. Martial Arts (Krav Maga, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Aikido, and Apache Knife Training), Scouts (Due to a misunderstanding I was withdrawn only one merit badge away from Eagle), Band (Made State Marching Contest and I’m a 2 year All-Region Band member), DJing (over 175 gigs in the past two years), and I have around 300 hours of Community Service (mostly animal shelters, but I helped rebuild a house in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike). I also came in 5th place at the Japan W.A.T.A Open International Taekwondo Championship in Osaka, Japan and have won 5/12 knife throwing competitions I have entered into. My GPA is 3.48/4.0 and I want to be sure because University of South Carolina is my first choice and I really don’t want to blow it because my GPA or SAT is too low. Also, if you could give me a gauge on scholarships that would be much appreciated. </p>
<p>As you can see from here <a href=“Institutional Research, Assessment, and Analytics - Institutional Research, Assessment, and Analytics | University of South Carolina”>Institutional Research, Assessment, and Analytics - Institutional Research, Assessment, and Analytics | University of South Carolina; your test scores are pretty good for SC. I have no idea if you get a boost for admission using EA there. I really doubt you would be outright denied so if you don’t get in EA you would probably just be moved to the RD pool for consideration after your semester grades.</p>
